Abstract
An external device for wireless communication with an implantable medical device can include a memory having stored thereon instructions for a first application and authentication credentials specific to the first application; and a processor configured for transmitting the authentication credentials specific to the first application to an implantable medical device to authorize access to the implantable medical device by the first application. An external device for wireless communication with an implantable medical device can include a memory including authentication credentials stored thereon; and a processor configured for transmitting the authentication credentials to an implantable medical device to authorize access; receiving a request to facilitate authorization of the second device and receiving second authentication credentials from the second device; determining authentication or authorization of the second device; and transmitting a token or authorization credentials directing the implantable medical device to authorize access by the second device.
