  • Publication number: 20250316187
    Abstract: A medical system provides training to a patient to override therapy delivery. The medical system includes a wearable medical device, one or more remote servers, and a mobile device. The wearable device detects cardiac conditions using ECG data and delivers therapy but issues an alert prior to delivering the therapy. The wearable medical device includes an alert button that can be pressed by the patient to override the therapy delivery. The mobile device includes at least a processor configured to receive a communication to initiate a training mode from the one or more remote servers and initiate the training mode based on the communication. The mobile device further includes a user interface to provide an instruction to the patient, which instructs the patient to press the alert button when the alert is output, to override delivery of the therapy.

  • Publication number: 20250235708
    Abstract: Technologies and implementations for a wearable healthcare system including an information management module (IMM). The IMM may be configured to detect proximity of a healthcare device. The IMM may be configured to determine a type of the detected healthcare device. Once the type of healthcare device is determined, the IMM may be configured to communicate information regarding a medical device, where the communicated information may be adapted to correspond to the determined type of healthcare device.

  • Publication number: 20250201401
    Abstract: Systems are provided to perform automated identification and dispatching of resources (e.g., patient service responders) to provide individualization of medical products and service to specific patients. Such systems can use decision-based tree methods. In some examples, the systems can learn from historical data (using AI technology, for example) to autonomously match patient's medical and personal needs and preferences with responder options and the requisite inventory. Such systems can be scalable for a growing number of patients and responders and can improve patient quality of care, treatment, and satisfaction. The automated systems and methods can alleviate burdens on medical network and resources including reduction of redundancies and costs. It can also help reduce, and if needed, quickly address any errors, human and/or technical, and aid with quality assurance.

  • Publication number: 20250017529
    Abstract: A medical system includes a wearable medical device configured to be worn by a patient, remote server(s), and a mobile device. The mobile device includes at least one processor and a display, the at least one processor being configured to establish communication between the mobile device, the wearable medical device, and the remote server(s) when the mobile device is powered on and within a predetermined range of the wearable medical device. The at least one processor is further configured to provide an interactive survey on the display to receive one or more user inputs, update a graphical user interface on the display based on the one or more user inputs, and cause one or more patient engagement features to be displayed on the display. Upon establishing communication between the mobile device, the wearable medical device, and the remote server(s), patient data is transmitted to the remote server(s).

  • Publication number: 20240282420
    Abstract: Access to a situation report about a patient experiencing a medical event is provided via a short range connection, such as a BLE connection, between a wearable medical device and a communication device of a trained support person. The wearable medical device is worn by the patient and gathers patient data related to the medical event, such as an arrythmia. Patient data are processed into situation information which is formatted for easy translation by the communication device into the situation report. The resulting situation report is accessible by the trained support person via the communication device with relevant information to assist in providing medical support for the patient.

  • Publication number: 20240282421
    Abstract: The present medical support system produces situation reports about a patient experiencing a medical event. A wearable medical device worn by the patient when in use, gathers patient data from which situation reports are generated. The support system uses situation factors associated with the medical event to generate from the patient data, situation reports including situation information associated with the medical event. A rapid communication connection is established between the device of the support person and the wearable medical device and/or remote computing device(s), such as a BLE connection, QR code, etc. The support system presents the adapted situation reports from the remote computing device to various support persons assisting the patient during a critical time for care. In some implementations, the situation reports are generated on the fly according to levels of expertise of the support person.

  • Publication number: 20240226587
    Abstract: In embodiments, a Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD) system includes a support structure for the patient to wear, and components that the support structure maintains on the patient's body. The components include a defibrillator, associated electrodes, and so on. The defibrillator can operate in a WCD mode while the patient wears the support structure. The defibrillator can further operate in a different, AED mode, during which time the patient need not wear a portion of the support structure, or even the entire support structure. Sometimes the AED mode is a type of a fully automatic AED mode. Other times the AED mode is a type of a semi-automated AED mode, where an attendant is present to administer the shock; at such times, the patient may not even need to have electrodes attached. This way the patient is more comfortable for a longer time.
