Claim 10:
11. A medical device, comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the medical device to:
monitor, using one or more sensors, a geofence parameter of the medical device;
determine a change in a location setting of the medical device based on the geofence parameter;

automatically switching, responsive to the changed location setting, an operation mode of the medical device from a first mode currently programmed for care of a patient to a second mode, the second mode using different parameters than the first mode to control the medical device;
determine a battery capacity of a battery powering the medical device;
determine, based on the location setting exceeding a distance range over which the battery needs to power the medical device, that the battery capacity is insufficient to power the medical device for a predetermined period of time; and
generate an alert according to an alerting sequence associated with the second mode,
wherein one of the second mode is associated with a clinical care facility and the alerting sequence is adjusted to behave according to alerting escalation rules used by the clinical care facility, and the second mode is associated with a home care location and the alerting sequence is adjusted to behave according to predetermined home alerting escalation rules.
