Modified booting process for a mobile device to configure it as an external controller for an implantable medical device

摘要: A Medical Device Application (MDA) modifies the booting process for a mobile device to configure it into known secure configuration communicating with an implantable medical (IMD). The modified allows user select either normal use of or as IMD, and takes automatic actions implement if latter is selected. For example, kernel can be provided device's operating system, which when loaded configures configuration. Alternatively, system load its less-secure kernel, but automatically runs initialization software after loads initialize MDA further preferably provides graphical interface allow communicate IMD using now-secure device.
