Abstract: Techniques for managing recording of audio during a medical emergency are presented. An audio recorder may selectively record audio at selected time during the medical emergency, and generate correlation information to temporally correlate the recorded audio with the medical emergency. The audio recorder may establish receive synchronization information from a medical device used during the medical emergency, and may mark recorded audio according to the synchronization information. A computer may generate a record for the medical emergency that includes recorded audio correlated with medical emergency information generated by the medical device. The computer may correlate the recorded audio with the medical emergency information according the synchronization markings.

Abstract: A therapy-delivering, portable medical device (200) capable of triggering and/or communicating with an alarm system (100), as well as a related system and method therefor. The portable medical device (200) is configured to establish a communication link (107) with an alarm system (100) such as a residential or business alarm, upon the occurrence of a triggering event. Triggering events may be related to the use, operation or deployment of the portable medical device (200) in an emergency situation, or they may be for service, status or maintenance purposes, e.g., to report device failures, system checks, etc. The portable medical device (200) is configured to deliver therapy to a patient, wherein the therapy delivered to the patient may be any or combination of medial therapies, e.g., defibrillation, drugs, etc., for any one or combination of medical applications, such as stroke, cardiac arrest, diabetic shock, etc.
