1. A system for detecting a type of stroke, comprising:
- a heart-monitoring device configured to acquire heart data regarding a heart rhythm of a patient,andwherein the heart-monitoring device acquires heart data using micro impulse radar; and
a processing circuit configured to;
receive the heart data and determine an occurrence of atrial fibrillation based on the heart data;
receive physiological data regarding a physiological characteristic of the patient and determine an occurrence of a stroke based on the physiological data,determine that the stroke was an embolic stroke based on whether the atrial fibrillation and the stroke occurred within a predetermined time period; and
control operation of a computing device to provide an output based on the determination that the stroke was an embolic stroke,wherein the output comprising at least one of a sound, a visual indicator, and information regarding the stroke experienced by the patient transmitted to a device.

Abstract
A system for detecting a type of stroke includes a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to receive heart data regarding a heart rhythm of a patient and physiological data regarding a physiological characteristic of the patient. The heart data is indicative of an occurrence of atrial fibrillation and the physiological data is indicative of an occurrence of a stroke. The processing circuit is further configured to determine a likelihood that the stroke was an embolic stroke based on the heart data and to provide an output including an indication of the likelihood that the stroke was an embolic stroke.
