Ambulatory and centralized processing of a physiological signal
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring a patient, the method comprising:
- receiving, at an ambulatory subsystem, cardiac signal data about a patient from at least one sensor coupled to the patient;
storing the received cardiac signal data in a memory;
transmitting, from the ambulatory subsystem to a central processing device subsystem that is remote from the ambulatory subsystem, a subset of the received cardiac signal data, the subset of the received cardiac signal data being less than all the received cardiac signal data;
receiving, at the ambulatory subsystem from the central processing device subsystem, a signal generated based on the central processing device subsystem analyzing the subset of the received cardiac signal data according to a first technique and thereby identifying a health-related anomaly; and
transmitting, in response to receiving the signal, a portion of the received cardiac signal data from the ambulatory subsystem to the central processing device subsystem for analysis by the central processing device subsystem according to a second technique that validates the health-related anomaly identified by the first technique, the portion of the received cardiac signal data including more data than the subset of the received cardiac signal data.

Abstract
A machine-implemented method including obtaining physiological signal data for a living being and performing a first analysis of the physiological signal data at a processing device local to the living being and remote from a central processing device. The method further includes transmitting from the processing device data associated with the analysis to the central processing device and performing at the central processing device a second analysis of the data associated with the first analysis. The method further includes displaying the data associated with the second analysis. The method can also include interaction between the processing device local to the living being and the central processing device. The method can also include distributing monitoring and analysis between an ambulatory and a centralized subsystem.
