Priority-based medical data management system

Systems and methods for managing medical information storage and transmission are discussed. A data management system may include a receiver circuit to receive information about a physiological event sensed from a patient, and an event prioritizer circuit to assign a priority to the received information. A control circuit may perform data reduction of the received information according to the assigned priority. Data reduction at a higher reduction rate is performed on the received information if a lower priority is assigned than if a higher priority is assigned. The system may include an output circuit to output the received information to a user or a process, or to transmit the received information to an external device, according to the assigned priority.

PULSED RADIO FREQUENCY THERAPY SYSTEM, APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR USING SAME
20230062693 · 2023-03-02 · ·

The present invention relates to a pulsed radio frequency therapy system adapted to project the beam onto the skin surface of a living body overlying a problem region, the beam serving to relieve pain and to obtain other health related beneficial effects. The system includes an energy-generating unit in which a radio-frequency carrier is over-modulated by a sonic signal to produce periodic bursts of radio-frequency energy whose repetition rate corresponds to the frequency of the signal. The output of the unit is fed to a tank circuit tuned to the carrier frequency and housed within the barrel of a portable applicator gun. Supported within the barrel and coupled to the tank circuit is a discharge electrode whose tip is adjacent to the mouth of the barrel whereby a pulsed radio frequency is projected from the tip. The portable applicator gun includes automated applicator coil tuning, automated coil protection, and a phase-up conditioning system. The energy generating unit includes a lifespan sensing system which includes a modem, a GPS, and a transceiver so that the pulsed radio frequency therapy system may transfer and/or receive information wirelessly to an external storage and/or processing area which tracks the usage, wear and tear, location, and other treatment data of the user and the therapy system.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING NEUROSTIMULATION THERAPY ACCORDING TO MACHINE LEARNING OPERATIONS

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for providing neurostimulation therapy according to patient features. The patient features may be analyzed to develop a patient model between physiological and/or patient reported features and optimal settings for a neurostimulation therapy using machine learning operations. The model is used to control ongoing neurostimulation therapy for the patient.

INTRACARDIAC ELECTROGRAM-BASED DIFFERENTIATION OF CONDUCTION SYSTEM AND MYOCARDIAL PACING
20230060821 · 2023-03-02 ·

In some examples, a method comprises sensing one or more left-ventricular activations via one or more electrodes of a left-ventricular lead, wherein each of the one or more left-ventricular activations are in response to delivery of an electrical stimulation to a heart of a patient; determining one or more left-ventricular activation metrics based on the sensed one or more left-ventricular activations; and determining whether the electrical stimulation provided conduction system pacing based on the one or more ventricular activation metrics.

TRIGGERING ARRHYTHMIA EPISODES FOR HEART FAILURE AND CHRONOTROPIC INCOMPETENCE DIAGNOSIS AND MONITORING
20230075140 · 2023-03-09 ·

Techniques are disclosed for detecting arrhythmia episodes for a patient. A medical device may receive one or more sensor values indicative of motion of a patient. The medical device may determine, based at least in part on the one or more sensor values, an activity level of the patient. The medical device may determine a heart rate threshold for triggering detection of an arrhythmia episode based at least in part on the activity level of the patient. The medical device may determine whether to trigger detection of the arrhythmia episode for the patient based at least in part on comparing a heart rate of the patient with the heart rate threshold. The medical device may, in response to triggering detection of the arrhythmia episode, collect information associated with the arrhythmia episode.
