System and method for diagnosing and monitoring outcomes of atrial fibrillation for automated remote patient care
First Claim
1. A system for diagnosing and monitoring outcomes of atrial fibrillation for remote patient care, comprising:
- a database storing a plurality of monitoring sets which each comprise recorded measures relating to patient information recorded on a substantially continuous basis;
a server retrieving and processing a plurality of the monitoring sets, comprising;
a comparison module receiving a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation and determining at least one patient status change in response to the atrial fibrillation diagnosis by comparing on a periodic basis at least one recorded measure from each of the monitoring sets to at least one other recorded measure from another of the monitoring sets with both recorded measures relating to a same type of patient information; and
an analysis module evaluating on a periodic basis each patient status change for an absence, an onset, a progression, a regression, and a status quo of atrial fibrillation against a predetermined indicator threshold corresponding to the same type of patient information as the recorded measures which were compared, the indicator threshold corresponding to a quantifiable physiological measure of a pathophysiological diagnosis resulting from atrial fibrillation.

Abstract
A system for diagnosing and monitoring outcomes of atrial fibrillation for remote patient care is presented. A database stores monitoring sets containing recorded measures relating to patient information recorded on a substantially continuous basis. A server retrieving and processing a plurality of the monitoring sets includes a comparison module receiving a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation and determining patient status changes in response to the atrial fibrillation diagnosis by comparing periodically recorded measures from each of the monitoring sets to other recorded measures from another of the monitoring sets with both recorded measures relating to a same type of patient information; and an analysis module evaluating on a periodic basis each patient status change for an absence, an onset, a progression, a regression, and a status quo of atrial fibrillation against a predetermined indicator threshold corresponding to the same type of patient information as the recorded measures which were compared.

12. An automated collection and analysis patient care system for diagnosing and monitoring outcomes of atrial fibrillation for remote patient care, comprising:
-
a database storing patient monitoring information, comprising;
a plurality of monitoring sets, each monitoring set comprising recorded measures which each relate to patient information and comprise either medical device measures or derived measures, the medical device measures having been recorded on a substantially continuous basis;
a set of stored indicator thresholds, each indicator threshold corresponding to a quantifiable physiological measure of a pathophysiological diagnosis resulting from atrial fibrillation and relating to the same type of patient information as at least one of the recorded measures;
a server diagnosing an atrial fibrillation finding, comprising;
an analysis module receiving a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation and determining on a periodic basis a change in patient status in response to the atrial fibrillation diagnosis by comparing at least one recorded measure to at least one other recorded measure from another of the monitoring sets with both recorded measures relating to the same type of patient information; and
a comparison module comparing on a periodic basis each patient status change for an absence, an onset, a progression, a regression, and a status quo of atrial fibrillation to the stored indicator threshold corresponding to the same type of patient information as the recorded measures which were compared. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. An automated patient care system for diagnosing and monitoring outcomes of atrial fibrillation for remote patient care, comprising:
-
a medical device regularly recording measures relating to at least one of monitoring reduced exercise capacity and respiratory distress;
a database maintaining information for an individual patient, comprising organizing a plurality of monitoring sets in a database, and storing the recorded measures for the individual patient on a substantially continuous basis into a monitoring set in the database;
a server evaluating at least one of atrial fibrillation onset, progression, regression, and status quo, comprising;
a comparison module receiving a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation and determining on a periodic basis a patient status change in response to the atrial fibrillation diagnosis by comparing at least one recorded measure from each of the monitoring sets to at least one other recorded measure with both recorded measures relating to the same type of patient information; and
an analysis module testing on a periodic basis each patient status change for an absence, an onset, a progression, a regression, and a status quo of atrial fibrillation against a predetermined indicator threshold corresponding to the same type of patient information as the recorded measures which were compared, the predetermined indicator threshold corresponding to a quantifiable physiological measure of a pathophysiological diagnosis indicative of reduced exercise capacity and respiratory distress.

-
a database storing a plurality of monitoring sets from a database which each comprises recorded measures relating to patient information recorded on a substantially continuous basis;
a server receiving a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation and determining on a periodic basis the pathophysiological outcome of atrial fibrillation in response to the atrial fibrillation diagnosis, comprising;
a comparison module comparing at least one recorded measure from each of the monitoring sets to at least one other recorded measure from another of the monitoring sets with both recorded measures relating to a same type of patient information and evaluating on a periodic basis each recorded measure comparison for an absence, an onset, a progression, a regression, and a status quo of atrial fibrillation against a predetermined indicator threshold corresponding to the same type of patient information as the recorded measures which were compared, the indicator threshold corresponding to a quantifiable physiological measure of a pathophysiological diagnosis resulting from atrial fibrillation; and
an analysis module managing the atrial fibrillation outcome by interventively administering therapy contributing to normal sinus rhythm restoration and ventricular rate response control. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31)
