  • Patent number: 12239423
    Abstract: A system comprises a sensor device and processing circuitry. The sensor device comprises a housing configured to be disposed above shoulders of a patient, a plurality of electrodes on the housing, a motion sensor, and sensing circuitry configured to sense a brain electrical signal and a cardiac electrical signal via the electrodes, and a motion signal via the motion sensor. The processing circuitry is configured to determine values over time of one or more parameters from the brain electrical signal, determine values over time of one or more parameters from the cardiac electrical signal, and generate at least one of a detection, prediction, or a classification a condition of the patient based on the values and the motion signal.

  • Patent number: 11911177
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to devices, systems, and techniques for determining an efficacy of a treatment program. For example, a medical device system includes a medical device including one or more sensors configured to generate a signal that indicates a parameter of a patient. Additionally, the medical device system includes processing circuitry configured to receive data indicative of a user selection of a reference time; determine a plurality of parameter values of the parameter based on a portion of the signal corresponding to a period of time including the reference time. Additionally, the processing circuitry is configured to identify, based on a first set of parameter values, a reference parameter value, calculate a parameter change value, and determine, based on the parameter change value, whether an improvement or a worsening of the patient has occurred responsive to a treatment administered beginning at the reference time.

  • Publication number: 20230241401
    Abstract: Patient activity or inactivity may be determined based, at least in part, on a movement signal representative, or indicative, of movement of a patient. When the patient is determined to be inactive based the movement signal monitored over a moving time window, cardiac remodeling pacing may be delivered to the patient.

  • Publication number: 20220398470
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for bypassing an algorithm configured to determine a likelihood of episode data being a false indication of a cardiac episode. A medical device system includes processing circuitry configured to receive episode data and determine, based on satisfaction of one or more bypass conditions of a set of bypass conditions, whether to bypass the algorithm. Responsive to bypassing the algorithm, the processing circuitry stores the episode data as a true indication of the cardiac episode.

  • Publication number: 20220061742
    Abstract: In some examples, a device includes at least three electrodes a first pair of electrodes and a second pair of electrodes. The device also includes circuitry configured to generate a first cardiac signal based on a first differential signal received across the first pair, generate a first brain signal based on the first differential signal received across the first pair, generate a second cardiac signal based on a second differential signal received across the second pair, and generate a second brain signal based on the second differential signal received across the second pair. The circuitry is also configured to output a composite cardiac signal based on the first cardiac signal and the second cardiac signal and to output a composite brain signal based on the first brain signal and the second brain signal.

  • Publication number: 20210093220
    Abstract: Techniques for obtaining impedance data to provide an early warning for heart failure decompensation are described. An example device may be configured to measure subcutaneous impedance values, and increment an impedance score. In some examples, the device may use an adaptive threshold and fluid index in incrementing the impedance score. In some examples, the impedance score is compared to a threshold to determine a heart failure status of a patient. In some examples, may cause resets in fluid index values and/or determine positions or orientations of the device when determining the impedance score.
