An example method is performed by a defibrillator and includes obtaining event data regarding treatment provided to a patient. The method also includes obtaining a key that facilitates validating a request from a computing device to access the event data, associating the key with the event data, and transmitting the key and the event data to a server. Another example method is performed by a mobile device and includes obtaining an encoded version of an identifier of a medical device that is provided on the medical device. The medical device is configured to obtain event data regarding treatment provided to a patient. The method also includes obtaining a selection of a recipient for the event data, and causing a summary of the event data to be transmitted to the recipient.

A portable medical device is disclosed. The portable medical device may comprise a display, a defibrillator port, a battery unit, and a processor. The processor may be configured to determine a cycle count of the battery unit, wherein the cycle count represents a number of times the battery unit has been charged and determine whether the cycle count satisfies a cycle count threshold. The processor may also be configured to, in response to determining that the cycle count satisfies the cycle count threshold, cause one or more graphical elements to be displayed on the display.

A medical device configured to provide a real-time audio feedback for use during administration of an emergency medical treatment of a patient by medical personnel is disclosed. The medical device may comprise a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor may be configured to perform operations. The operations may include analyzing measurement data collected from the patient. The operations may also include associating a particular audio font based on a characteristic of the measurement data. The operations may further include identifying, based on the characteristic of the measurement data, one or more clinically meaningful thresholds in the measurement data. The operations may also include generating an audible change in the particular audio font to reflect whether a particular characteristic of the measurement data has crossed a clinically meaningful threshold of the one or more clinically-meaningful thresholds.

A method includes receiving, by a server, first patient data from a first device. The first patient data was collected by the first device during a patient encounter. The method includes receiving, from the first device, record-identifying information of a second device that was associated with the patient encounter. During the patient encounter, the record-identifying information was shared with the first device. The method include generating a request for second patient data collected by the second device during the patient encounter. The method includes sending the request for the second patient data to the second device based on the record-identifying information. The method includes receiving the second patient data from the second device after sending the request for the second patient data to the second device. The method includes generating a record for the patient encounter based on at least on the first patient data and the second patient data.

A method includes receiving patient data attributes of patient data collected by the medical device and an indication of a destination computer for the patient data. The method includes generating, based at least on data processing capabilities of the destination computer and the patient data attributes of the patient data, a set of transmission parameters for the medical device to adhere to when sending any of the patient data. The method includes sending, by the server, the set of transmission parameters to the medical device. The method includes receiving, by the server, at least a subset of the patient data from the medical device in response to sending the set of transmission parameters to the medical device. The subset of the patient data is in compliance with the set of transmission parameters. The method includes providing the subset of the patient data to the destination computer.

A method includes performing, by a device, one or more device-specific tasks while operating in a first mode of operation. The method includes detecting an insertion of an external storage device into an external storage device interface of the device. The method includes performing a first authentication check on the external storage device. The method includes transitioning from the first mode of operation to a second mode of operation in response to the external storage device passing the first authentication check. The one or more device-specific tasks are suspended during the second mode of operation. The method includes performing a second authentication check on content stored on the external storage device during the second mode of operation. The method includes mounting the content stored on the external storage device in response to the content stored on the external storage device passing the second authentication check.

The present disclosure includes various examples for cooling electronics within a medical device while preventing or reducing the risk of an interior of the medical device being contaminated with a pathogen. The present disclosure includes a medical device having an air deflector to deflect potentially contaminated air from infecting a patient or caregiver. The present disclosure also includes medical devices with disinfectant devices installed to disinfect air either before entering the medical device or before exiting the device. Other examples of the present disclosure include medical devices that are sealed from outside air and fluids, and which may include a cooling device on an exterior surface which may be cleaned and/or removed after each use.

Systems to confirm authenticity of electrodes and to provide compatibility between a medical device and associated electrodes are described. An example system includes an electrode having an electrical property and an electrode connector configured to receive an electrical signal from a medical device. The example system may further include a processor configured to, upon coupling of the electrode connector to the medical device, identify a value of the electrical property of the electrode, identify the electrode is authentic by determining that the value of the electrical property is within a range of values, and output data indicating that the electrode is authentic to a diagnostic circuit configured to monitor and/or treat a patient, wherein the electrode is a component of the diagnostic circuit.
