SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING A PATIENT STATUS FOR CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE FOR USE IN AUTOMATED PATIENT CARE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A medical device providing physiometry for use in remote automated congestive heart failure patient management, comprising:
- one or more sensors to directly sense raw physiometry for a patient;
sensing circuitry to regularly monitor and record the raw physiometry as collected device measures;
memory to temporarily store the collected device measures pending interrogation by an externally interfaceable device; and
a telemetry interface to provide access to the collected device measures, wherein derived device measures are thereafter determined to provide derivative physiometry based on the collected device measures and the collected and derived device measures quantify a pathophysiology indicative of congestive heart failure.

Abstract
A system and method for providing diagnosis and monitoring of congestive heart failure for use in automated patient care is described. At least one recorded physiological measure is compared to at least one other recorded physiological measure on a substantially regular basis to quantify a change in patient pathophysiological status for equivalent patient information. An absence, an onset, a progression, a regression, and a status quo of congestive heart failure is evaluated dependent upon the change in patient pathophysiological status.

5. A method for processing physiometry for use in remote automated congestive heart failure patient management, comprising:
-
identifying a patient enrolled in automated patient care with information comprising at least one of treatment profile and medical history; receiving collected device measures to provide raw physiometry for the patient that was regularly monitored and recorded by a medical device; and determining derived device measures to provide derivative physiometry based on the collected device measures, wherein the collected and derived device measures quantify a pathophysiology indicative of congestive heart failure. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
