Patent number: 11089989Abstract: A variety of convolutional neural network based shockable heart rhythm classifiers are described. The neural network is configured to receive an electrocardiogram segment as an input and to generate an output indicative of whether the received electrocardiogram segment represents a heart rhythm that is suitable for treatment by a defibrillation shock. Preferably, the received electrocardiogram segment is not transformed or processed prior to its reception by the convolutional neural network and no features of the electrocardiogram are identified to the convolutional neural network. In some embodiments, the received electrocardiogram segment is the sole input to the convolutional neural network. The described classifier is well suited for use in defibrillators.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2019Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: Avive Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Benjamin C. Freed, David P. Walter, III

Patent number: 11077311Abstract: Several defibrillators, defibrillator architectures, defibrillator components and methods of operating defibrillators are described. In one aspect, a modular defibrillator architecture is described. A base unit provides a fully functional defibrillator. The functionality of the base unit can be supplemented by attaching an interface unit to the base unit or by connecting a smartphone the base unit. Such devices provide connectivity as well as a screen for displaying supplementary graphics and/or videos which are useful to support both emergency and maintenance & monitoring activities. In some embodiments a battery pack may also or alternatively be coupled to the base unit to prolong the unit's shelf life before recharging or replacement of its batteries is required. If necessary the base unit can be powered from a connected external device such as a mobile communication device.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2018Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: AVIVE SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Rory M. Beyer, Gordon Moseley P. Andrews

Patent number: 11077312Abstract: Status messages are wirelessly broadcast from medical devices (e.g., defibrillators) as advertisements that don't require the establishment of a wireless connection with listeners. The listeners are configured to act on, or forward received status messages as appropriate. The listeners may optionally include supplemental information supplied by the listener device when forwarding a status message to a management server. The listener may optionally analyze received status messages to determine whether an action should be taken based at least in part on status information in the message. Actions performed by the listener may include initiating a connection with the transmitting device to facilitate uploading new information from the defibrillator, updating the defibrillator's firmware, etc. Optionally, some of the advertisements are configured as beacons. The advertisements/beacons may be transmitted using a Bluetooth Low Energy or other suitable protocols.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2020Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: Avive Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Andy Sturman, David Picco, Rory M. Beyer, Andrew Thomas Galkowski, Gordon Moseley P. Andrews, Dean Allan Gereaux

Patent number: 11058866Abstract: A variety of graphically responsive defibrillation electrode pads are described that can selectively display different images during use. The graphically responsive pads include a base electrode pad structure, at least two graphics, and one or more controllable layers that have multiple states. In some embodiments, the controllable layer incorporates an electrochromic material. In a first (opaque) state, the controllable layer hides the first graphic such that only the second graphic is visible to a user on the back side of the defibrillation electrode pad. When the controllable layer transitions to a second (transparent) state, the first graphic is made visible to thereby cause a composite image that combines the first and second graphics to be visible on the back side of the pad. In some embodiments, the electrochromic layer defaults to the opaque state when no power is applied to the electrochromic layer.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2019Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: Avive Solutions, Inc.Inventor: Gordon Moseley P. Andrews

Patent number: 10957178Abstract: A variety of methods, medical devices, responder network servers, emergency services interfaces and call center related processes are described that can help improve responder networks designed to get a medical device such as an automated external defibrillator and/or volunteer responders to the scene of a potential medical incident.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2020Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: Avive Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Rory M.

Patent number: 10946209Abstract: Several defibrillators, defibrillator architectures, defibrillator components and methods of operating defibrillators are described. In one aspect, a defibrillator (as for example an automated external defibrillator) that can be powered by a mobile communication device such as a smart cellular phone or a tablet computer is described. Utilizing a phone (or other mobile communication device) as the power supply for an external defibrillator allows the external defibrillator to be smaller and, in some circumstance, removes the need for a battery that stores sufficient energy for shock delivery—which would need to be checked and/or replaced on a regular basis. Additionally, when desired, certain control functionality, computation, data processing, and user instructions can be handled/presented by the mobile communications device thereby further simplifying the defibrillator design and improving the user experience.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2019Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Avive Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Gordon Moseley P. Andrews, Priscilla Agosto Mercado, Brian Wanek, Thomas Matthew Burns
