Abstract
We report a method comprising receiving a first indication to gather a first biological signal or feature thereof from a patient; gathering the first biological signal or feature thereof; receiving a second indication to stop gathering the first biological signal or feature thereof, wherein the second indication relates to a detection of an end of a brain state change; and stopping gathering the first biological signal or feature thereof. We also report a medical device system configured to implement the method. We also report a non-transitory computer readable program storage unit encoded with instructions that, when executed by a computer, perform the method.
Claims24
A method, comprising:
- receiving a first biological signal from a patient;
- analyzing data relating to said first body signal;
- determining whether a potential brain state change exists based upon said analyzing;
- acquiring a second body signal in response to a determination that said potential brain state change exists;
- analyzing data relating to said second body signal;
- determining whether said potential brain state change is confirmed based upon said analyzing of said data relating to said second body signal;
- performing a responsive action in response to confirming said potential brain state change.
4 more elements
A method, comprising:
- receiving a first indication to acquire a first biological signal or feature thereof from a patient;
- acquiring said first biological signal or feature thereof;
- receiving a second indication to stop acquiring said first biological signal or feature thereof, wherein the second indication relates to a detection of an end of a brain state change;
- and
- stopping acquisition of said first biological signal or feature thereof.
2 more elements
A method, comprising:
- sensing a first biological signal or feature thereof with a first sensor;
- recording said first biological signal or feature thereof;
- sensing a second biological signal or feature thereof with a second sensor;
- recording said second biological signal or feature thereof
- buffering the second biological signal or feature thereof to a memory buffer;
- analyzing said first biological signal or feature thereof to determine at least one feature;
- detecting a brain state change based on said at least one feature of said first biological signal or feature thereof;
- initiating analysis of the second biological signal or feature thereof in response to detecting the brain state change;
- confirming or not confirming the brain state change based on the analysis of the second biological signal or feature thereof;
- detecting an end of the brain state change based on at least one of the first biological signal or feature thereof feature or the second biological signal or feature thereof;
- and
- stopping analysis of said second biological signal or feature thereof based on detecting the end of the seizure.
9 more elements
A method, comprising:
- sensing a first biological signal or feature thereof with a first sensor;
- analyzing said first biological signal or feature thereof to determine at least one feature;
- detecting a possible brain state change based on said at least one feature of said first biological signal or feature thereof, wherein said detecting comprises comparing said feature to a reference value;
- initiating at least one responsive action comprising analyzing a second biological signal or feature thereof in response to said detecting;
- confirming or not confirming said possible brain state change based on said analyzing said second biological signal or feature thereof.
2 more elements
A method, comprising:
- gathering a first biological signal or feature thereof from a patient;
- receiving an indication to gather a second biological signal or feature thereof from said patient;
- gathering said second biological signal or feature thereof;
- determining at least one of a sensitivity, a specificity, or a speed of detection of a pathological state in said patient from both said first biological signal or feature thereof and said second biological signal or feature thereof;
- continuing gathering of the biological signal or feature thereof having a better sensitivity of detection, a better specificity of detection, or a better speed of detection;
- and
- stopping gathering of the biological signal or feature thereof having a poorer sensitivity of detection, a poorer specificity of detection, or a poorer speed of detection.
