Implantable Systems and Methods for Identifying a Contra-ictal Condition in a Subject
First Claim
1. A minimally invasive seizure advisory system comprising:
- a plurality of implantable devices, each implantable device configured to sample an EEG signal from a subject and transmit a wireless signal from the subject'"'"'s body; and
a subject advisory device that is external to the subject'"'"'s body, the subject advisory device comprising;
a processing assembly that processes the wireless signals from each of the plurality of implantable devices to determine if the subject is in a contra-ictal condition; and
a user interface that provides an output to the subject that indicates that the subject is in the contra-ictal condition.

Abstract
Systems and methods of monitoring a subject'"'"'s neurological condition are provided. In some embodiments, the method includes the steps of analyzing a physiological signal (such as an EEG) from a subject to determine if the subject is in a contra-ictal condition; and if the subject is in a contra-ictal condition, providing an indication (e.g., to the subject and/or to a caregiver) that the subject is in the contra-ictal condition. The systems and methods may utilize a minimally invasive, leadless device to monitor the subject'"'"'s condition. In some embodiments, if the subject is in a pro-ictal condition, the method includes the step of providing an indication (such as a red light) that the subject is in the pro-ictal condition.

8. A method of monitoring a subject'"'"'s neurological condition, the method comprising:
-
implanting a device between a subject'"'"'s skull and scalp; analyzing a physiological signal from the subject to determine if the subject is in a contra-ictal condition; and if the subject is in a contra-ictal condition, providing an output to the subject that is indicative of the subject being in the contra-ictal condition. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
