Abstract
Systems and methods to detect pneumonia in cardiovascular patients are disclosed, including receiving physiologic information of a patient from an ambulatory medical device (AMD), the physiologic information comprising respiration information of the patient, and determining a pneumonia score of the patient using the received respiration information.
Claims20
A medical system, comprising:
- a signal receiver circuit configured to receive physiologic information of a patient from an ambulatory medical device (AMD), the physiologic information comprising respiration information of the patient;
- and
- an assessment circuit configured to determine a pneumonia score of the patient indicative of a prediction of a future adverse pneumonia event within a time period using changes in daily respiration information of the patient over multiple days, wherein the changes in daily respiration information are determined using the received respiration information.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a signal receiver circuit, physiologic information of a patient from an ambulatory medical device (AMD), the physiologic information comprising respiration information of the patient;
- and
- determining, using an assessment circuit, a pneumonia score of the patient indicative of a prediction of a future adverse pneumonia event within a time period using changes in daily respiration information of the patient over multiple days, wherein the changes in daily respiration information are determined using the received respiration information.
At least one machine-readable medium comprising instructions that, when performed by a medical device, cause the medical device to:
- receive physiologic information of a patient from an ambulatory medical device (AMD), the physiologic information comprising respiration information of the patient;
- and
- determine a pneumonia score of the patient indicative of a prediction of a future adverse pneumonia event within a time period using changes in daily respiration information of the patient over multiple days, wherein the changes in daily respiration information are determined using the received respiration information.
