Abstract

A system and method for updating patient devices is disclosed. The patient devices (720, 730, 740) may include respiratory therapy devices (4000) that operate in accordance with instruction sets (726), such as software or firmware. A server (710) may maintain a database of configuration data (718) indicating the versions of the software and firmware that is currently installed on the patient devices (720, 730, 740). The server (710) may also transmit updated instructions (716) from over a network (4282), including a wireless network. Particular patient devices (720, 730, 740) may be selected for updating based on the configuration data (718). Upon performing an update a patient device (720, 730, 740) may transmit configuration data (728) to the server (710).
