US 2014/0277237 A1 · DEVICE BASED OPTIMIZATION OF DEVICE THERAPIES

Abstract

A system may include an external medical device (e.g., a patch) including one or more physiological sensors configured to sense one or more physiological parameters of a subject when the subject is ambulatory. The external medical device may be configured to communicate information related to the sensed one or more physiological parameters for determining and/or modifying at least one cardiac therapy parameter of an implantable medical device (e.g., pacemaker, implantable cardioverter defibrillators, or cardiac resynchronization therapy device). In some situations, an indication or notification may be generated corresponding to the determined and/modified cardiac therapy parameter.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

an external medical device including:
one or more physiological sensors configured to sense one or more physiological parameters of a subject when the subject is ambulatory;
and
a communication circuit configured to communicate information related to the sensed one or more physiological parameters with a separate second medical device;
and
the second medical device including:
a communication circuit configured to receive the information related to the sensed one or more physiological parameters from the external medical device;
and
a control circuit in electrical communication with the communication circuit and including a parameter circuit configured to determine a value of at least one programmable cardiac therapy parameter using the information related to the sensed one or more physiological parameters received from the external medical device.

6 more elements

A method of operating a medical device system, the method comprising:

sensing, by an external medical device of the medical device system, one or more physiological parameters of a subject when the subject is ambulatory;
communicating physiological information related to the sensed one or more physiological parameters obtained by the external medical device to a second medical device of the medical device system;
and
determining, by the second medical device, a setting of at least one programmable cardiac therapy parameter using the communicated physiological information related to the sensed one or more physiological parameters.
