Systems and Method for Recording Clinical Manifestations of a Seizure
First Claim
1. A method of comparing a patient'"'"'s neurological data to data that is indicative of the patient'"'"'s clinical manifestation of a seizure, comprising:
- monitoring neurological data from a patient that is indicative of the patient'"'"'s propensity for having a seizure;
automatically recording clinical manifestation data from the patient that is indicative of the occurrence of a clinical seizure; and
analyzing the automatically recorded clinical manifestation data and the monitored neurological data to determine if one of the clinical manifestation data and the monitored neurological data indicates the occurrence of a seizure while the other does not.

Abstract
A method of comparing a patient'"'"'s neurological data to data that is indicative of the patient'"'"'s clinical manifestation of a seizure. In some embodiments, the method includes the steps of monitoring neurological data from a patient indicative of the patient'"'"'s propensity for having a seizure; automatically recording clinical manifestation data from the patient that may be indicative of the occurrence of a clinical seizure; and analyzing the automatically recorded clinical manifestation data and the monitored neurological data to determine if one of the clinical manifestation data and the neurological data indicates the occurrence of a seizure while the other does not. Systems are described including a monitoring device having a communication assembly for receiving neurological data transmitted external to a patient from a transmitter implanted in a patient; a processor that processes the neurological data to estimate the patient'"'"'s brain state; and an assembly for automatically recording clinical manifestation data in response to a brain state estimate by the processor.

20. A method of comparing a patient'"'"'s estimated brain state to data that is indicative of clinical manifestation of a seizure, comprising:
-
monitoring neurological data from a patient; determining the patient'"'"'s brain state based on the monitored neurological data, wherein the brain state indicates the patient'"'"'s propensity for having a seizure; monitoring clinical manifestation data from the patient that is indicative of the occurrence of a clinical seizure; and comparing the monitored clinical manifestation data with the patient'"'"'s determined brain state to determine if one of the brain state and the clinical manifestation data indicates the occurrence of a seizure while the other does not. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
-
- 23. The method of 22 wherein determining the brain state comprises determining if the patient is in at least one of a contra-ictal state, a pro-ictal state, and an ictal state.
-
40. A method of automatically recording clinical manifestation data from a patient, comprising:
-
monitoring neurological data from a patient; estimating the patient'"'"'s brain state based on the monitored neurological data, wherein the estimated brain state indicates the patient'"'"'s propensity for having a seizure; determining a change in the patient'"'"'s brain state; and automatically recording clinical manifestation data from the patient using a device worn or held by the patient. - View Dependent Claims (45)
-
-
41. The method of 40 wherein automatically recording clinical manifestation data occurs upon the occurrence of the change in brain state.
- 42. The method of 41 wherein determining a change in the patient'"'"'s brain state comprises determining that the patient has entered into either a pro-ictal state or an ictal state.
-
46. A monitoring device comprising:
-
a communication assembly for receiving neurological data that is transmitted externally to a patient from a transmitter implanted in a patient; a processor that processes the neurological data to determine the patient'"'"'s brain state; and an assembly for automatically recording clinical manifestation data in response to a change in the determined brain state. - View Dependent Claims (47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53)
