Data-driven symptom assessment

Abstract

Systems and methods for monitoring a patient and predicting a future medical event and automatically triggering patient symptom assessment are disclosed. A medical-device system includes a user-interface device, and a medical event predictor circuit to generate a signal trend using physiological data collected by one or more sensors associated with a patient. Based at least on the signal trend, the medical event predictor circuit triggers collection of patient presentation information via the user-interface device. The signal trend can be compared to multiple different symptom-specific thresholds to trigger assessment of distinct predefined symptoms. The medical event predictor circuit can predict a medical event based on the signal trend and the collected patient presentation information.
