ABSTRACT:
A system and method of operation thereof for storing patient related data within an implanted medical device and retrieving and regenerating the patient related data using a generative grammar and graphic user-interface software in a programmer having uplink and downlink telemetry capabilities. A generative grammar resident in the programmer is selected, and it prompts a physician or other user to enter patient specific variables by selecting menu choices or making data entries in data entry fields which generated by grammar rules while constructing a textual narrative report about the patient in a human language. Simultaneously, in the programmer, a digital patient related data bit string is assembled that identifies the generative grammar and encodes the choices and values as they are entered by the physician. Also simultaneously, internal computer records of the patient related data are stored in computer memory. The generative grammar invokes text and menus or data entry fields for the continuing narrative that depend upon the preceding narrative in a grammatically correct manner. When the narrative is completed, the simultaneously generated bit string is stored in the implanted medical device using conventional downlink telemetry. The stored bit string may be telemetered out on command and decoded to identify the generative grammar and then to use the generative grammar to regenerate the textual narrative in either the original human language or in an alternative human language for which a corresponding generative grammar exists in the programmer.
