US 2022/0273172 A1 · P SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING ATRIAL FIBRILLATION AND GENERATING NOTIFICATIONS THEREOF

Abstract

In one aspect, the disclosed technology relates to systems that provide real-time notification of the onset and offset of atrial fibrillation to a patient and a treating physician, enabling the physician to optimize and individualize the care for the AF patient. The care can include initiating or terminating anticoagulation medications, initiating or terminating other medications to treat cardiac conditions such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, etc. In another aspect, the disclosed technology relates to methods for detecting atrial fibrillation, and includes monitoring a patient for the onset of atrial fibrillation; and only upon detection of the onset of atrial fibrillation, and upon the direction of a treating physician, administering an anti-coagulant medication to the patient.

Dependent claims

A system for detecting atrial fibrillation and generating a notification thereof, comprising:

a sensing device comprising:
one or more electrodes configured to sense electrical impulses representative of a heart rhythm;
a controller communicatively coupled to the one or more electrodes, wherein the controller is configured to detect the occurrence of atrial fibrillation based on the outputs of the one or more electrodes, and to generate an output in response to the detection atrial fibrillation;
and a transmitter communicatively coupled to the controller and configured to transmit a signal in response to receiving the output of the controller;
and
an alerting device communicatively coupled to the sensing device and configured to generate an alert in response to receiving the signal transmitted by the transmitter.
