System and method for providing diagnosis and monitoring of atrial fibrillation for use in automated patient care
First Claim
1. A system for providing diagnosis and monitoring of atrial fibrillation for use in automated patient care, comprising:
- a comparison module receiving a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation and comparing at least one recorded physiological measure to at least one other recorded physiological measure on a substantially regular basis in response to the atrial fibrillation diagnosis to quantify a change in patient pathophysiological status for equivalent patient information; and
an analysis module evaluating an absence, an onset, a progression, a regression, and a status quo of atrial fibrillation dependent upon the change in patient pathophysiological status.

Abstract
An automated system and method for diagnosing and monitoring the outcomes of atrial fibrillation is described. A plurality of monitoring sets is retrieved from a database. Each of the monitoring sets include recorded measures relating to patient information recorded on a substantially continuous basis. A patient status change is determined in response to an atrial fibrillation diagnosis by comparing at least one recorded measure from each of the monitoring sets to at least one other recorded measure. Both recorded measures relate to the same type of patient information. Each patient status change is tested against an indicator threshold corresponding to the same type of patient information as the recorded measures which were compared. The indicator threshold corresponds to a quantifiable physiological measure of a pathophysiology resulting from atrial fibrillation.
