Abstract
A system comprising processing circuitry configured to receive a wirelessly-transmitted message from a medical device, the message indicating that the medical device detected an acute health event of the patient. In response to the message, the processing circuitry is configured to determine a location of the patient, determine an alert area based on the location of the patient, and control transmission of an alert of the acute heath event of the patient to any one or more computing devices of one or more potential responders within the alert area.
Claims18
A system comprising processing circuitry configured to:
- receive a wirelessly-transmitted message from an implanted medical device, the message indicating that the implanted medical device detected an acute health event of a patient;
- and
- in response to the message:
- determine a location of the patient;
- determine an alert area based on the location of the patient;
- select treatment instructions based on the acute health event;
- and
- control transmission of an alert of the acute heath event of the patient to any one or more computing devices of one or more potential responders within the alert area, wherein the alert comprises the selected treatment instructions.
A method comprising, by processing circuitry:
- receiving a wirelessly-transmitted message from an implanted medical device, the message indicating that the implanted medical device detected an acute health event of a patient;
- and
- in response to the message:
- determining a location of the patient;
- determining an alert area based on the location of the patient;
- selecting treatment instructions based on the acute health event;
- and
- controlling transmission of an alert of the acute heath event of the patient to any one or more computing devices of one or more potential responders within the alert area, wherein the alert comprises the selected treatment instructions.
A system comprising:
- an implanted medical device configured to:
- sense physiological data of a patient;
- and
- detect an acute health event of the patient based on the sensed physiological data;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to:
- receive a wirelessly-transmitted a message from the implanted medical device, the message indicating that the implanted medical device detected the acute health event of the patient, wherein the message comprises at least a portion of the sensed physiological data;
- and
- in response to the message:
- determine a location of the patient;
- determine an alert area based on the location of the patient;
- select treatment instructions based on at least some of the portion of the sensed physiological data;
- and
- control transmission of an alert of the acute heath event of the patient to any one or more computing devices of one or more potential responders within the alert area, wherein the alert comprises the treatment instructions.
