Abstract
This document discusses, among other things, patient monitoring systems, apparatus, and methods that change the operation of an ambulatory medical device (AMD) using geographic location information.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a mobile monitor configured to determine a geographic location;
- and
- an ambulatory medical device (AMD), communicatively coupled to the mobile monitor, the AMD configured to detect physiologic information from the patient using a first monitoring mode and a second monitoring mode,
- wherein the AMD is configured to receive the determined geographic location from the mobile monitor,
- wherein the AMD is configured to switch between the first monitoring mode and the second monitoring mode according to the determined geographic location, and
- wherein the second monitoring mode consumes more power than the first monitoring mode.
3 more elements
A system comprising:
- an ambulatory medical device (AMD) configured to detect physiologic information from a patient and to receive information corresponding to a geographic location of the patient,
- wherein the AMD is configured to transition from a first monitoring mode to a second monitoring mode in response to the received information corresponding to the geographic location of the patient indicating that the patient is at a medical care facility,
- wherein the AMD, in the first monitoring mode, is configured to detect physiologic information from the patient using a sensor at a first sensitivity or at a first frequency, and
- wherein the AMD, in the second monitoring mode, is configured to detect physiologic information from the patient using the sensor at a second sensitivity, more sensitive than the first sensitivity, or at a second frequency, higher than the first frequency.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- receiving information corresponding to a geographic location of a patient at an ambulatory medical device (AMD);
- detecting physiologic information from the patient using the AMD;
- and
- transitioning the AMD from an ambulatory data collection or transmission mode to an in-clinic data collection or transmission mode in response to the received information corresponding to the geographic location of the patient indicating that the patient is at a medical care facility,
- wherein the in-clinic data collection or transmission mode has a higher power consumption than the ambulatory data collection or transmission mode.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- an ambulatory medical device (AMD) configured to detect physiologic information from a patient and to receive information corresponding to a geographic location of the patient,
- wherein the AMD is configured to transition from a first monitoring mode to a second monitoring mode in response to the received information corresponding to the geographic location of the patient indicating that the patient is at a medical care facility,
- wherein the AMD, in the first monitoring mode, is configured to detect physiologic information from the patient using a first set of sensors, and
- wherein the AMD, in the second monitoring mode, is configured to detect physiologic information from the patient using a second set of sensors, different than the first set of sensors.
