Abstract

See full text

An Optical Head-Mounted Display (OHMD) for use as external controller for an Implantable Medical Device (IMD) is disclosed which includes an IMD communication accessory with a USB connector coupleable to a USB port on the OHMD. The accessory includes a housing with a communication antenna and telemetry transceiver circuitry to allow for direct communications with the IMD. The housing includes a battery for powering the transceiver circuitry and antenna. A cable may be coupled to the housing to allow the housing to be located proximate to patient's IMD when the communication means used in the IMD is relatively short range (e.g., magnetic induction). The housing may be cableless and comprise a dongle coupleable to a port on the OHMD if the communication means provided in the housing and used in the IMD are longer range (e.g., MICS).
