AUTOMATED ANALYSIS OF DATA COLLECTED BY IN-VIVO DEVICES
First Claim
1. One or more computer-readable media accommodated by an evaluation device having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform a method for observing and analyzing physiological attributes of a patient, wherein the method comprises:
- receiving data from an in-vivo device at the evaluation device, wherein the data includes diagnostic information that characterizes, in part, the physiological attributes attained by monitoring the patient utilizing the in-vivo device;
invoking a clinical process for analyzing the received data with regard to an electronic medical record (EMR), wherein the clinical process comprises;
(a) accessing the EMR that is associated with the patient; and
(b) comparatively evaluating the data against relevant content of the EMR; and
based on the evaluation, inducing one or more actions, wherein the one or more actions comprise, at least temporarily, storing the data in association with the patient.

Abstract
Systems and methods for operably coupling medical device(s) together with an evaluation device such that closed-loop processing may occur are provided. To achieve closed-loop processing, the evaluation device is configured to receive diagnostic information related to physiological attributes of a patient and operational-status information of the medical device(s). Upon receipt of this information, the evaluation device may automatically analyze the data and automatically compose instructions based on the analysis. Analyzing includes comparing the data against content within an electronic medical record (EMR) or applying rules to the data. The rules are built on evidence-based medical procedures consistent with current medical practice. The instructions, when distributed and implemented, invoke actions at the medical device(s), such as dispensing a medication and reprogramming configuration settings, as well as actions at a notification component configured to request a healthcare professional to intervene in a patient'"'"'s treatment and to provide feedback of medical events.

14. A computerized method for automatically invoking one or more actions based on an analysis of data communicated from a medical device, wherein the method comprises:
-
inspecting data communicated from a monitoring component, wherein the monitoring component is configured to convey, within the data, diagnostic information of a patient and operational-status information that describes events occurring on the medical device; automatically analyzing the data by employing a clinical procedure that comprises; (a) implementing rules that are built on evidence-based medical procedures consistent with current medical practice; and (b) applying the rules to the data to identify the one or more actions that are responsive to the data; and instructing the medical device to implement one or more actions without manual intervention, wherein the instructions are based on the analysis of the data.

15. A computer system for enabling analysis of data generated by a monitoring component disposed within a medical device, the computer system comprising a processor coupled to a computer-readable medium, the computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of computer software components executable by the processor, the computer software components comprising:
-
a monitoring component configured to detect physiological attributes of a patient and events occurring within the medical device for treating the patient, and configured to communicate data representing the events and the physiological attributes to a decision component; the decision component configured to ascertain that the data is communicated in a format that is readable thereby, and configured to initiate a clinical process that compares the data against an electronic medical record (EMR) assigned to the patient and that automatically generates one or more instructions in accordance with an outcome of the comparison; and an administering component configured to initiate at least one action upon implementing the one or more instructions, wherein the at least one action includes storing, at least temporarily, portions of the data in a memory location. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
