US 10,368,808 B2 · System and methods of determining etiology of undiagnosed symptomatic events

Abstract

Embodiments describe a method of determining etiology of undiagnosed events comprising monitoring electrocardiogram signals and blood pressure of a patient via a medical device, capturing one or more of an ECG segment and a BP reading in response to a triggering event, classifying one or more of the ECG segment and BP reading as normal or abnormal, and determining etiology of undiagnosed symptomatic events based on the classification. Embodiments further describe a medical device comprising sensors for monitoring ECG signals and BP of a patient, circuitry for capturing one or more of ECG segments and BP readings of a patient in response to a triggering event, and a processor for communicating one of more of captured ECG segments and captured BP readings to a remote monitoring center directly or indirectly where the captured ECG segments and captured BP readings are classified as normal or abnormal.

Dependent claims

A method of determining etiology of undiagnosed events, the method comprising:

monitoring electrocardiogram (ECG) signals of a patient via an adherent device;
capturing an ECG segment in response to a triggering event, wherein the triggering event includes a patient triggered event and/or an automatically triggered event in which the monitored ECG signal deviates from baseline data;
prompting the patient via the adherent device to wear a satellite blood pressure cuff in response to the triggering event, wherein the satellite blood pressure cuff captures blood pressure (BP) readings and communicates the captured BP readings to the adherent device;
communicating the captured ECG segment and captured BP readings from the adherent device to a remote monitoring center;
classifying, at the remote monitoring center, the ECG segment and BP reading as normal or abnormal;
and
determining etiology of undiagnosed symptomatic events based on the classification of the ECG segment and/or BP reading.
