ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the invention provide methods, systems, and devices for enabling data communication between an IMD and a host computer. In one embodiment, a device is provided that comprises a frequency and protocol agile transceiver capable of communicating with an IMD via a short range communications link and with a host computer via a long range wireless communications link. The transceiver may be utilized by the device to retrieve clinical data stored in the IMD and to transmit the clinical data directly to the host computer via the long range wireless communications link. An apparatus is provided according to another embodiment of the invention that comprises an interface between an IMD and a communications device, such as a wireless telephone or a two-way wireless pager. The interface can communicate directly with the IMD to retrieve clinical data stored in the IMD and can utilize the communications device to transmit the clinical data to a host computer.
