System and method for processing voice feedback in conjunction with heart failure assessment
First Claim
1. A system for processing voice feedback in conjunction with heart failure assessment, comprising:
- a data module to assemble physiological measures, which were directly recorded as data on a substantially continuous basis by a medical device for a patient or indirectly derived from the data;
a feedback module to collect voice feedback spoken by the patient contemporaneous to the recordation of the physiological measures;
a quantifier to quantify the voice feedback into quality of life measures;
a status module to determine a status for the patient through sampling and analysis of the physiological measures and the quality of life measures over a plurality of data assembly points; and
an evaluation module to evaluate the physiological measures, comprising;
an analysis module to analyze any trend comprising one of a status quo and a change in cardiac performance; and
a comparison module to compare the trend to worsening heart failure indications.

Abstract
A system and method for providing voice feedback from sampled physiometry and self-evaluation in conjunction with heart failure assessment is presented. Physiological measures including direct measures recorded on a continuous basis and measures derived from the direct measures are stored. Voice feedback spoken as speech is recorded contemporaneous to the recordation of the measures. The voice feedback is quantified into quality of life measures by normalizing the speech against a voice grammar and speech vocabulary. The physiological measures, related to a same type of physiometry and a different type of physiometry, are sampled. A status is determined through analysis of the sampled measures assembled from recordation points and the quality of life measures spoken. Trends indicated by the status, including one of a status quo and a change, which affect cardiac performance, are identified. Each trend is compared to worsening heart failure indications to generate a notification of parameter violations.

25. A system for providing voice feedback from sampled physiometry and self-evaluation in conjunction with heart failure assessment, comprising:
-
a storage module to store physiological measures comprising at least one of direct measures regularly recorded on a substantially continuous basis by a medical device for a patient and measures derived from the direct measures;
a voice recorder to record voice feedback spoken as ordinary speech by the patient contemporaneous to the recordation of the physiological measures;
a voice processor to quantify the voice feedback into quality of life measures by normalizing the ordinary speech against a voice grammar and speech vocabulary;
a sampling module to sample 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;
a status module to determine a status for the patient through analysis of those sampled physiological measures assembled from a plurality of recordation points and those quantified quality of life measures contemporaneously spoken to those points; and
an evaluation module to evaluate the sampled physiological measures, comprising;
an analysis module to identify any trends that are indicated by the patient status comprising one of a status quo and a change, which might affect cardiac performance of the patient; and
a comparison module to compare each such trend to worsening heart failure indications to generate a notification of parameter violations. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27)
