20140039327 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EVALUATING A PATIENT STATUS FOR USE IN HEART FAILURE ASSESSMENT - A system and method for evaluating a patient status from sampled physiometry for use in heart failure assessment is presented. Physiological measures are stored, including at least one of direct measures regularly recorded on a substantially continuous basis by an implantable medical device for a patient and measures derived from the direct measures. At least one of those of the physiological measures, which each relate to a same type of physiometry, and those of the physiological measures, which each relate to a different type of physiometry are sampled. A status for the patient is determined through analysis of the sampled physiological measures assembled from a plurality of recordation points. The sampled physiological measures are evaluated. Trends that are indicated by the patient status, which might affect cardiac performance of the patient, are identified. Each trend is compared to worsening heart failure indications to generate a notification of parameter violations. | 02-06-2014 |

20140135637 | System And Method For Monitoring a Patient Status - A system and method for automated diagnosis of myocardial ischemia through remote monitoring is described. Physiological measures comprising data either recorded on a regular basis by a medical device or derived therefrom is stored. Qualitative measures associated with the physiological measures are matched. Indications of myocardial ischemia are remotely identified. The qualitative measures for both of a reduction in exercise capacity and respiratory distress occurring contemporaneously are examined. The qualitative measures for angina that accompanies the reduction in exercise capacity and the respiratory distress are evaluated. A time course for each of the indications is determined. A patient status is formed comprising an onset of myocardial ischemia conditioned on the time course comprising a short duration. | 05-15-2014 |

At least one of those of the physiological measures, which relate to a same type of physiometry, and those of the physiological measures, which relate to a different type of physiometry are sampled. A status is determined for a patient through analysis of those sampled measures assembled from a plurality of recordation points. The sampled measures are evaluated. Trends that are indicated by the patient status, including one of a status quo and a change, which might affect cardiac performance of the patient, are identified. Each trend is compared to worsening heart failure indications to generate a notification of parameter violations. | 06-05-2014 |

20140171810 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRIORITIZING MEDICAL CONDITIONS - The technology disclosed herein generally relates to a method for providing an index disorder in automated patient care. A set of device measures is stored in a database. Quantitative health care data indicators in the database are provided, where the indicators were regularly recorded by a medical device for a patient under automated patient care. Collected device measures are retrieved with a processor. An index disorder is identified through derived measure determination and statistical calculation with a processor. | 06-19-2014 |
20140309941 | SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING BASELINE DATA FOR AUTOMATED PATIENT MANAGEMENT - A system and method for providing baseline data for automated patient management is disclosed. A patient is identified for enrollment in automated patient management with information including at least one of treatment profile and medical history. Device measures are collected to provide raw physiometry for the patient regularly recorded by a medical device, beginning with an initial observation period. Derived device measures are determined to provide derivative physiometry based on the collected device measures. Baseline data from the collected and derived device measures are quantified. | 10-16-2014 |
