Patent number: 12778430Abstract: Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for cardiac monitoring. A method may include comparing, using a machine learning (ML) algorithm, an activity level of a user with one or more heart rate parameters of the user to determine whether a discordance is present between the activity level and the one or more heart rate parameters. In response to detecting that a discordance is present, performing an electrocardiogram (ECG) of the user to obtain ECG data of the user. An ML algorithm may be trained to detect an arrythmia using a historical set of training data including the activity level, the one or more heart rate parameters and previously recorded heart rate parameters, and a historical set of ECG data including the ECG data and previously recorded ECG data.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2024Date of Patent: November 3, 2026Assignee: AliveCor, Inc.Inventors: David E.

Patent number: 12293287Abstract: A set of training electrocardiograms (ECGs) for each of a plurality of subjects is processed using a machine learning model to generate an output for each training ECG of each of the plurality of subjects. Training ECGs for each subject are labeled with an identity of the subject. A machine learning model is trained by comparing the output generated for each training ECG to a corresponding label of the training ECG to generate an identity model to identify ECGs of a first subject of the plurality of subjects. A first ECG is received from an ECG sensor and input to the identity model, which generates an output indicating whether the first ECG corresponds to the first subject. In response to the output indicating that the first ECG does not correspond to the first subject, a condition that the first subject has or may develop is determined based on the output.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2022Date of Patent: May 6, 2025Assignee: ALIVECOR, INC.Inventors: Conner Daniel Galloway, Alexander Vainius Valys, David E.
