Abstract
A method for determining the cause of an irregularity in physiologic data collected by a medical device may include monitoring a collected physiologic characteristic of a patient through the physiologic data, detecting an irregularity in the physiologic data, monitoring position data of the patient, correlating the physiologic data with the position data, and determining the cause of the irregularity in the physiologic data based on correlation of the physiologic data with the position data.
Claims24
A method for determining the cause of an irregularity in physiologic data collected by a medical device, the method comprising:
- monitoring a collected physiologic characteristic of a patient through the physiologic data;
- detecting an irregularity in the physiologic data;
- monitoring position data of the patient;
- correlating the physiologic data with the position data;
- and
- determining the cause of the irregularity in the physiologic data based on correlation of the physiologic data with the position data.
A medical device comprising:
- a main housing;
- a position detector configured to provide position data of the patient;
- and
- a controller contained within the main housing, the controller being configured to control operation of the medical device in order to extract physiologic data from a patient, wherein the controller comprises:
- inputs to collect position data and physiologic data;
- a monitoring module configured to receive the position and physiologic data from the inputs and monitor a physiologic characteristic of the patient;
- an irregularity-detection module configured to detect an irregularity in the physiologic data;
- a correlation module configured to correlate the physiologic data with the position data;
- and
- a cause-determination module configured to determine a cause of the irregularity.
