Patent number: 10559384Abstract: A computing architecture, system and method are disclosed for use in a medical device for providing decision support to a caregiver. The computing architecture includes a memory, a processor in communication with the memory, and an instance of a primary rules-based service configured to provide instruction events, the instance providing a primary processing thread of instruction events for coaching treatment of a patient. A software manager module includes an artificial intelligence architecture. The artificial intelligence architecture is configured to provide an instance of a conditional rules-based service for providing instruction events. The instance provided by the artificial intelligence architecture provides a processing thread of instruction events for coaching treatment of a patient that is independent of the primary processing thread and is configured to trigger an action on the occurrence of a pre-defined set of input conditions.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2018Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: PHYSIO-CONTROL, INC.Inventors: Kenneth J.

Patent number: 9707408Abstract: In embodiments, an emergency external defibrillator system is configured for use by a local rescuer in cooperation with a remote rescuer to assist a patient. The external defibrillator system includes a sensor to generate a patient value that represents a physiological parameter of the patient. The system also includes a communication module to transmit the patient value to another device of a remote rescuer, and to receive in response an incoming message that contains an encoded discharge instruction. The system also includes a processor that can decode the discharge instruction, and cause the system to defibrillate or pace the patient. An advantage is that therapy can be initiated remotely from the remote rescuer, who may be better trained, more confident, and less under the stress of the moment than the local rescuer.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2016Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: PHYSIO-CONTROL, INC.Inventors: Kenneth J.
