摘要: Embodiments of a wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) system include a support structure for wearing by an ambulatory patient, a posture detector and at least one processor. When worn, the support structure maintains electrodes on the patient's body, and using the posture detector and the patient's ECG received via the electrodes, the processor determines the patient's posture, formulates posture-based templates of QRS complexes, and the patient's heart rate. The processor can use these determinations to distinguish between VT and SVT and make no-shock, and shock decisions.

摘要: In one embodiment, a carrying case for a wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) is described. The carrying case includes a container with a front wall, a rear wall, and a gusset coupling the front wall and the rear wall. The carrying case also includes each of the front wall and rear wall including multiple fabric layers. The carrying case also includes two connection points inset from an edge of the rear wall. The carrying case also includes an adjustable strap removably coupled to the connection points, the adjustable strap configured to be worn in various configurations on a body of a patient.

摘要: In embodiments, a wearable cardiac defibrillation (WCD) system includes one or more flexible ECG electrodes. The WCD system may have a support structure that is dimensioned to be worn so as to press the electrodes towards the body of the patient. The electrodes may be made from appropriate material so as to flex in order to match a contour of the body of the patient. An advantage over the prior art is that the flexible electrode may make better electrical contact with the patient's skin, and therefore provide a better ECG signal for the WCD system to perform its diagnosis.

摘要: In embodiments a WCD system is worn and/or carried by an ambulatory patient. The WCD system analyzes an ECG signal of the patient, to determine whether or not the patient should be given an electric shock to restart their heart. If so, then the WCD system first gives a preliminary alarm to the patient, asking them to prove they are alive if they are. The WCD system further determines whether the ECG signal contains too much High Amplitude (H-A) noise, which can distort the analysis of the ECG signal. If too much H-A noise is detected for a long time, the WCD system may eventually alert the patient about their activity, so that the ECG noise may be abated. The WCD system may even pause the analysis of the ECG signal, so that there will be no preliminary alarms that could be false until the ECG noise is abated.

摘要: “Artificial Intelligence” or “AI” technology can be applied to Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillators (“WCDs”) and other wearable medical equipment in various ways, including garment fitting and adjustment, analyzing electrocardiogram (“ECG”), other sensor data and/or other patient data in real time to detect/assess the patient's present condition and/or need for treatment for cardiac and other conditions (e.g., stroke, coughing, apnea, etc.), detect imminent failure of the wearable medical device components, capture and report data collected from the patient for presenting to clinicians, adjust thresholds for alarms and notifications based on patient's responses, improve patient compliance based on the patient's past non-compliant behavior and actions that resulted in the patient becoming compliant, provide tests to the patient, and learn the patient's responses to detect/assess the patient's present condition and/or need for treatment.

摘要: “Artificial Intelligence” or “AI” technology can be applied to Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillators (“WCDs”) and other wearable medical equipment in various ways, including: garment fitting and adjustment; analyzing electrocardiogam (“ECG”), other sensor data and/or other patient data (e.g., age, gender, previous medical conditions, etc.) in real time to detect/assess the patient's present condition and/or need for treatment for cardiac and other conditions (e.g., stroke, coughing, apnea, etc.); detecting imminent failure of the wearable medical device components; capturing and reporting data collected from the patient for presenting to clinicians; adjusting thresholds for alarms and notifications based on patient's responses; improving patient compliance based on the patient's past non-compliant behavior and actions that resulted in the patient becoming compliant; providing tests to the patient (e.g., grip test, dexterity tests, balance tests, etc.) and learning the patient's responses to detect/assess the patient's present condition and/or need for treatment; learning the patient's voice, activity, posture, time of day, etc. for implementing intelligent voice recognition/activation of the medical device.

摘要: A Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD) system comprises an electrode assembly with a permeable ECG electrode and a moisture barrier. In some embodiments, the moisture barrier is configured to reduce drying out of the permeable ECG electrode to improve performance of the WCD system. In a further enhancement, some embodiments of the electrode assembly also include a pillow structure positioned on a non-skin-contacting surface of the electrode assembly to comfortably reduce movement artifact or noise in the received ECG signal.

摘要: A wearable medical includes a walking detector module with a motion sensor that is configured to detect when the patient is walking or running. In embodiments, a parameter (referred to herein as a “Bouncy” parameter) is determined from Y-axis acceleration measurements. In some embodiments, the Bouncy parameter is a measurement of the AC component of the Y-axis accelerometer signal. This detection can be used by the medical device to determine how and/or whether to provide treatment to the patient wearing the medical device. For example, when used in a WCD, the walking detector can prevent “false alarms” because a walking patient is generally conscious and not in need of a shock.

摘要: Disclosed are a timeline-based navigation feature and a channel selection feature. The timeline-based navigation feature allows the user to visually identify significant events during an episode and quickly navigate the display of data to those significant events. Embodiments of such feature allow a user to quickly see that there is a shock delivered, for example, and click on that part of a timeline navigator to advance the detailed display of data to that point in the episode. The data channel selection feature enables selection of display channel(s) from among a set of available data channels. Embodiments of such feature enable a selection and/or deselection of various channels for display to minimize display of extraneous data and/or to select preferred channels of data for review.
