摘要:
This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods for using one or more inter-relations between within-patient detection methods and between-patient stratifier methods. A method comprises obtaining results of a first physiological assessment, wherein the first physiological assessment includes a between-patient assessment; and using the results to adjust one or more parameters of a second physiological assessment, wherein the second physiological assessment includes a within-patient assessment.

This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods for measuring patient compliance. A method comprises detecting or receiving one or more first indications of a first action, the first action being consciously initiated by a patient in response to a request or instruction; and analyzing the first indications to calculate a first surrogate measurement of patient compliance that represents the patient's ability to follow the request or instruction.

This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods to enable physician labels on a remote server and use labels to verify and improve algorithm results. A method comprises using patient data in an automated analysis to obtain a result; receiving a message from the user, wherein the message is related to the result; and using at least a portion of the message to automatically modify the analysis.
摘要:
This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods for using between-patient comparisons for risk stratification of future heart failure decompensation. A method comprises receiving patient data of a current patient, the patient data collected by a patient monitoring device; determining a reference group related to the patient; determining a reference group dataset selected from the reference group, wherein the dataset includes patient data that is of a similar type received from the patient monitoring device; generating a model of the reference group dataset; and automatically comparing the received physiological data to a model to derive an index for the patient.

摘要:
An apparatus for monitoring a patient's blood glucose level. The apparatus includes an implantable medical device having a controller and an implantable heart sounds sensor configured to transmit signals to the controller of the implantable medical device. The controller is configured to determine if a patient is hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic based on the signals from the heart sounds sensor. A method is also disclosed that includes sensing the patient's heart sounds, determining the amplitude of the S2 heart sound, determining the length of the interval from the S1 heart sound to the S2max heart sound, determining the length of the interval from the S1 heart sound to the S2end heart sound, and determining the patient's blood glucose status based on the patient's heart sounds.

摘要:
Systolic timing intervals are measured in response to delivering pacing energy to a pacing site of a patient's heart. An estimate of a patient's acute response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) for the pacing site is determined using the measured systolic timing intervals. The estimate is compared to a threshold. The threshold preferably distinguishes between acute responsiveness and non-responsiveness to CRT for a patient population. An indication of acute responsiveness to CRT for the pacing site may be produced in response to the comparison.
