Patent number: 11426089Abstract: A device for detecting acute coronary syndrome (ACS) events, arrythmias, heart rate abnormalities, medication problems such as non-compliance or ineffective amount or type of medication, and demand/supply related cardiac ischemia is disclosed. The device may have both implanted and external components and can communicate with other user devices such as smartphones and smartwatches for monitoring and alerting in response to detected medically relevant events or states of a patient. The processor is configured to provide event detection based upon various criteria including what is found to be statistically abnormal for a patient or what has been defined by a doctor to be abnormal. A patient's cardiovascular condition can be tracked over time using histogram, trend, and summary information related to heart rate and/or cardiac features such as those measured from the S-T segment of heartbeats.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2021Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: Angel Medical Systems Inc.Inventors: David R. Fischell, Michael Sasha John, David Keenan, Steve Johnson, Gregg Turi

Patent number: 7782190Abstract: A wireless communication method and protocol, and wireless devices and systems for stimulation, are provided for communication between a wireless device and a charging device. During active wireless charging, communications (data transmission) from the wireless device to the charging device occurs via pulse loading the receive antenna of the receiving device. Because switching regulation in the receiving device may interfere with the communications, the switching regulation is disabled during a communications window. To further reduce the likelihood of misinterpretation of signals detected in the charging device resulting from the switching regulation or noise, the data bit rate of the pulse loading communications is maintained higher than the switching regulation frequency.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2007Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: Advanced Neuromodulation Systems, Inc.Inventors: Gregory R Martin, Gregg Turi, Marc Shanko, Rami Elghandour, Thomas Palma, William L Winstrom

Publication number: 20070100384Abstract: An implantable medical system for implantation within the body of a patient is provided. The system includes an implanted device having an implant casing and a long range telemetry sub-system housed therein. The system also includes an implantable lead operationally coupled to the implanted device and an antenna coupled to the implant casing to extend therefrom. The antenna is operationally coupled to the long-range telemetry sub-system to enable wireless bi-directional communication between the long range telemetry sub-system and predetermined external equipment disposed outside the body of the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2006Publication date: May 3, 2007Inventors: David Fischell, Gregg Turi, Steven Johnson

Patent number: 6236882Abstract: An implantable medical device which preferably has a segmented looping memory for storing triggered physiologic events also has autotriggers to record the ECGs and any other relevant physiologic signals occurring during triggering events. The problem is that in the far field R-wave sensing is difficult because of noise. Denial and extensible accommodation periods are introduced into the R-wave sensing registration for triggering data storage. If the event is sensed during an accommodation period the sense will not add an R-wave sense to the trigger's count of R-waves. It may cause resetting of the trigger count in some circumstnaces. Typical triggering events may include arrhythmia's and syncopal events. Preferably the device can function without a microprocessor. An outside device or other patient activated manual trigger may be included. Auto triggers and manually set triggers may be of different sizes. Electrode spacing can be critical. Additional sensors may be provided to the device.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 1999Date of Patent: May 22, 2001Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Brian B. Lee, Michael R. Kane, Gregg Turi

Patent number: 5987352Abstract: A minimally invasive implant, means for insertion, and description of how to most efficiently use it are described n several embodiments. This implant preferably has a segmented looping memory for storing triggered physiologic events. Preferred events for setting autotriggers to record physiologic signals occurring during events include arrhythmias and syncopal events. Preferably the device can function without a microprocessor. An outside device or other patient activated manual trigger is included. Auto triggers and manually set triggers may be of different sizes. The preferred physiologic events are ECG signals. Electrode spacing can be critical. Additional sensors may be provided to the device. Preferred communications with the device is through telemetry such as is used for pacemakers and other implanted devices.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 1998Date of Patent: November 16, 1999Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: George J.
