Publication number: 20250316187Abstract: 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.

Publication number: 20250201401Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2025Publication date: June 19, 2025Applicant: West Affum Holdings DACInventor: Brian D.

Publication number: 20240226587Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2024Publication date: July 11, 2024Applicant: West Affum Holdings DACInventors: Brian D. Webster, Zoie R.
