Abstract: Systems and methods for automatic service discovery and inter-service communications in a peer-to-peer network are disclosed. A device connected to a peer-to-peer network multicasts information about services that are active on the device (e.g., local services) and accessible to other devices on the network. The device can receive, from other devices on the network, multicasted information about services that are active on the other devices (e.g., remote services). The device includes a registry for maintaining information about available local and remote services. Each device in the network can send queries to active services on other devices on the network and receive notifications from those remote services when the remote services identify relevant data (e.g., data that satisfies the query).

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing intelligent assistance (“IA”) or extended intelligence (“EI”) ecosystem to placement procedures for cardiac implantable electronic device (“CIED”). In various embodiments, a computing system might analyze received one or more first layer input data (i.e., room content-based data) and received one or more second layer input data (i.e., patient and/or tool-based data), and might generate one or more recommendations for guiding a medical professional in performing a CIED placement procedure in a heart of the patient, based at least in part on the analysis, the generated one or more recommendations comprising 3D or 4D mapped guides toward, in, and around the heart of the patient. The computing system might then generate one or more XR images, based at least in part on the generated one or more recommendations, and might present the generated one or more XR images using a UX device.

Abstract: A system comprises a cloud computing system, a computing device, and a sensor device. The sensor device is configured to sense an electrocardiogram of the patient, detect a ventricular tachyarrhythmia based on sensed electrocardiogram, and wirelessly communicate with the computing device in response to the detection of the ventricular tachyarrhythmia. Based on the wireless communication from the sensor device, the computing device is configured to at least one of output a local alarm or transmit an alert to an emergency medical service via the cloud computing system. Processing circuitry of at least one of the sensor device, the computing device, or the cloud computing system is configured to determine QT intervals based on the electrocardiogram, and transmit a message indicating QT prolongation of the patient to a clinician based on a determination that the QT intervals satisfy one or more QT prolongation criteria.

Abstract: Implantable apparatus includes two or more alignable marker elements, and systems and methods for manufacturing such implantable apparatus, and methods to utilize such implantable apparatus. For example, the implantable apparatus may include a first alignable marker element and a second alignable marker element that may be used to ensure proper alignment with a target site.

Abstract: One aspect of the present disclosure includes a delivery tool configured to deliver a neurostimulator into a pterygopalatine fossa of a subject. The neurostimulator can include a body connected to an integral stimulation lead having one or more stimulating electrodes. The delivery tool can comprise a handle, an elongated shaft extending from the handle, a hub portion, and a double barrel sheath. The hub portion can be located between the shaft and a spine member that extends axially away from the hub portion. The hub portion can be sized and dimensioned to releasably mate with the neurostimulator. The double barrel sheath can be connected to the spine member. A central lumen can extend through at least a portion of the shaft and the hub portion. The central lumen can be adapted to receive a lead ejector for selective deployment of the stimulation lead from the double barrel sheath.

Abstract: A surgical method treats infections on a lead positioned at least partially within a patient's body. The surgical method includes uncoupling the lead from a pulse generator. The lead is then coupled to an ultrasound wave generator. Ultrasound waves are propagated from the ultrasound wave generator through the lead. Systems are disclosed.

Abstract: An implantable medical device performs a method that includes detecting a cardiac event interval that is greater than a P-wave oversensing threshold interval. In response to detecting the cardiac event interval greater than the P-wave oversensing threshold interval, the device determines the amplitude of the sensed cardiac signal and withholds restarting a pacing interval in response to the amplitude satisfying P-wave oversensing criteria. A pacing pulse may be generated in response to the pacing interval expiring without sensing an intrinsic cardiac electrical event that is not detected as a P-wave oversensing event.
