  • Patent number: 12362065
    Abstract: A medical data management system is provided that facilitates expedited review of health data for patient care. The medical data management system includes devices for collecting the health data, associating the health data with health events, optimizing storage of health data, and displaying comprehensive patient data for efficient and rapid review. The system includes a medical monitoring device that uses sensors to acquire health data and logic to specify data blocks of the data that characterize health episodes. Data management device(s) stitch the data blocks according to timelines and store the stitched data blocks as a full episode. The stitched data blocks are rendered for display, as a data presentation with timelines and graphic representations.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20190344090
    Abstract: A wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) comprises a plurality of patient parameter electrodes and a plurality of defibrillator electrodes to contact a patient's skin when the WCD is delivering therapy to the patient, a processor to receive one or more patient parameters from the one or more patient parameter electrodes, and an energy storage device to store a charge to provide electrical therapy to the patient via the plurality of defibrillator electrodes. The processor is to receive patient breathing information from a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine and the processor is to determine whether to provide electrical therapy to the patient based on the one or more patient parameters and the patient breathing information during an episode.
