Context scores to enhance accuracy of ECG readings
The present disclosure encompasses an “artifact score” derived from the signal characteristics of an acquired 12-lead ECG, (2) a “patient context score” derived from key elements of the patient's history, presentation, and pre-hospital emergency care, and (3) techniques for integrating these scores into an emergency medical care system.
MONITORING DEVICE, METHOD FOR SETTING REFERENCE BASELINE AND READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
Provided are a monitoring device, a method for setting reference baseline and a readable storage medium. Whether the monitoring device has a system error is determined due to at least one event, according to at least one of the moving state of the target object, the connection state of the target object and the signal acquisition device, the environmental information where the target object is located, and the analysis result of the monitoring device. When the monitoring device has a system error, the current reference baseline of the monitoring device is updated according to the preset rules, and then the monitoring is continued based on the new reference baseline. In this way, the current reference baseline of the monitoring device can be adjusted in time, false alarms and missed alarms caused by the system error can be avoided and the accuracy of the monitoring device can be improved.

MOTION SENSOR-MODULATED CARDIAC EPISODE DETECTION AND/OR ALERTING
An example medical device system includes memory configured to store information relating to an occurrence of a cardiac event in a patient and processing circuitry configured to determine the occurrence of the cardiac event in the patient. The processing circuitry is configured to determine at least one of a fall of the patient, a slumping posture of the patient, or a change from an upright posture to a non-upright posture of the patient and that the cardiac event is associated therewith in time. The processing circuitry is configured to, in response to determining that the cardiac event and the at least one of the fall of the patient, the slumping posture of the patient, or the change from the upright posture to the non-upright posture of the patient are associated in time, modulate a response to the cardiac event.
