US 11,439,304 B2 · Systems and methods including electrolyte sensor fusion

Abstract

Embodiments herein relate to systems and methods for combining data from different types of sensors. In an embodiment, a medical system is included. The medical system can include a first sensor configured to produce a first value for an analyte and a second sensor different than the first sensor, the second sensor configured to produce a second value for the analyte. The medical system can also include a controller configured to receive the first and second values. The controller can create a blended analyte value from the first value and second value. Other embodiments are included herein.

Dependent claims

A medical system comprising

a first sensor configured to produce a first value for an analyte, wherein the analyte is an electrolyte;
a second sensor configured to produce a second value for the analyte, wherein the second sensor is a different type of sensor than the first sensor;
and
a controller configured to receive the first and second values;
wherein the controller triggers a measurement change of the second sensor based on the first value for the analyte and;
wherein the first sensor and the second sensor are implantable;
wherein the first sensor has a faster response time than the second sensor;
wherein the first sensor is an implantable electrical ECG sensor;
and
wherein the second sensor is an implantable diffusion based optical chemical sensor.
