Abstract
Systems and methods to are disclosed to determine a sleep disordered breathing parameter of a patient, including receiving respiration information of the patient and temperature information of the patient and to determine the sleep disordered breathing parameter of the patient using the received respiration information and temperature information of the patient.
Claims22
An implantable cardiac monitor, comprising:
- a respiration sensor configured to sense respiration information of a patient;
- a temperature sensor configured to sense temperature information of a housing of the implantable cardiac monitor;
- and
- an assessment circuit configured to determine distal skin temperature of the patient using the sensed temperature information and to determine a sleep disordered breathing parameter of the patient using the sensed respiration information of the patient and the determined distal skin temperature of the patient.

A medical device system, comprising:
- a signal receiver circuit configured to receive respiration information of a patient and temperature information of an implantable housing of the medical device system;
- and
- an assessment circuit configured to determine distal skin temperature of the patient using the received temperature information and to determine a sleep disordered breathing parameter of the patient using the received respiration information and the determined distal skin temperature of the patient.
A method, comprising:
- receiving respiration information of a patient and temperature information of an implantable housing of a medical device system using a signal receiver circuit;
- and
- determining, using an assessment circuit, distal skin temperature of the patient using the received temperature information and a sleep disordered breathing parameter of the patient using a combination of the received respiration information and the determined distal skin temperature of the patient.
An implantable cardiac monitor, comprising:
- a respiration sensor configured to sense respiration information of a patient;
- a temperature sensor configured to sense temperature information of the patient;
- and
- an assessment circuit configured to determine a sleep disordered breathing parameter of the patient using the sensed respiration information of the patient and the sensed temperature information of the patient,
- wherein, to determine the sleep disordered breathing parameter, the assessment circuit is configured to:
- determine an initial sleep disordered breathing parameter of the patient using the sensed respiration information;
- and
- determine a confidence indication of the determined initial sleep disordered breathing parameter using the sensed temperature information.
