Abstract:
Techniques facilitating augmented reality-assisted surgery are provided. In one example, a method is provided that includes receiving, by a first device including a processor, image data associated with an external portion of a tool located within a body of a patient, wherein the image data includes first information indicative of a first fiducial marker on the external portion of the tool. The method also includes determining one or more relative positions of an internal portion of the tool within the body relative to one or more anatomical structures of the body based on the image data and a defined configuration of the tool. The method also includes generating one or more representations of the tool within the body relative to the one or more anatomical structures based on the one or more relative positions and the defined configuration of the tool.
Abstract:
A medical device is configured to deliver a series of electrical stimulation pulses including opposing polarity pulses. The medical device delivers a charge balancing pulse by modifying every nth pulse of the electrical stimulation pulses to reduce a net charge delivered over the series of electrical stimulation pulses. In some examples, the medical device may be an implantable medical device that is coupled to an extra-cardiovascular lead for delivering the cardiac pacing pulses.

Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for a multi-tier system for delivering therapy to a patient. In one example, a first device senses parametric data for a patient and determines, based on a first analysis of the parametric data, that the patient is experiencing a treatable event. In response, the first device establishes wireless communication with a second device and transmits the parametric data to the second device. The second device verifies, based on a second analysis of the parametric data, whether the patient is experiencing the treatable event. The second device selects, based on the second analysis of the parametric data, an instruction for responding to the treatable event and transmits the instruction for responding to the treatable event to the first device. In some examples, in response to receiving the instruction, the first device aborts delivery of therapy for the treatable event or proceeds with delivering therapy for the treatable event.
