Publication number: 20240000350Abstract: In some examples, a medical system includes a medical device. The medical device may include a housing configured to be implanted in a target site of a patient, a light emitter configured to emit a signal configured to cause a fluorescent marker to emit a fluoresced signal into the target site, and a light detector that may be configured to detect the fluoresced signal. The medical system may include processing circuitry configured to determine a characteristic of the fluorescent marker based on the emitted signal and the fluoresced signal. The characteristic of the fluorescent marker may be indicative of a presence of a compound in the patient, and the processing circuitry may be configured to track the presence of the compound of the patient based on the characteristic of the fluorescent marker.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: John E. Burnes, James K. Carney, Jonathan L. Kuhn, Mark J. Phelps, Jesper Svenning Kristensen, Rodolphe Katra

Publication number: 20220296174Abstract: A system comprises electrocardiogram sensing, glucose sensing circuitry, and processing circuitry. The sensing circuitry is configured to sense an electrocardiogram of a patient. The glucose sensing circuitry is configured to sense glucose levels of the patient. The processing circuitry configured to detect atrial fibrillation of the patient during a time unit based on the electrocardiogram of the patient, determine a first metric, wherein the first metric is associated with atrial fibrillation the patient experiences during the time unit, determine a second metric, wherein the second metric is associated with glucose levels of the patient during the time unit, and generate a health metric, wherein the health metric is determined based on the first and second metrics.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2021Publication date: September 22, 2022Inventors: Patrick W.

Publication number: 20220211331Abstract: This disclosure is directed to techniques for identifying a medical condition, such as an infection and/or a disease, from sensor data indicative of physiological parameters. In some examples, one example technique for identifying the medical condition includes process sensor data comprising data indicative of a plurality of physiological parameters for a patient comprising an impedance parameter, computing an index based upon values corresponding to at least two of the physiological parameters and based upon a comparison between the index and prediction criterion, generating, for display, output data corresponding to the comparison results, wherein the output data indicates a prediction of the medical condition in the patient if the comparison results indicate satisfaction of the prediction criterion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2021Publication date: July 7, 2022Inventors: Holly S. Norman, Douglas A. Hettrick, Mark J. Phelps, Shantanu Sarkar, Todd M. Zielinski

Publication number: 20210321883Abstract: A system comprising at least one implanted sensor device comprising one or more continuous sensors to detect a first modular set of biometrics of a subject. A system includes a computing device that receives the first modular set of biometrics over a period of time and receives a second modular set of biometrics for the subject. The computing device selectively serves a graphical user interface configured to present one or more of the first modular set and second modular set of biometrics and normalizes at least a portion of the first modular set and second modular set of biometrics over a period of time. The device generates a score indicative of a state of a biological system of the subject corresponding to a portion of biometrics of the first modular set and second modular set of biometrics and causes the score to be displayed via an electronic device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2020Publication date: October 21, 2021Applicant: MEDTRONIC, INC.Inventors: Scott T. Mcmahan, Mark J. Phelps, Randal Schulhauser
