IMPLANTABLE SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING A CONTRA-ICTAL CONDITION IN A SUBJECT
First Claim
1. A physiological monitoring system comprising:
- an electrode configured to detect a physiological signal from a subject; and
a processing assembly for sampling the physiological signal, the processing assembly being configured to process the physiological signal to determine whether the subject is in a contra-ictal state, said contra-ictal state being a neurological state in which the subject is unlikely to transition into an ictal state within a time period.

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.

10. A method of monitoring physiological signals from a subject, said method comprising:
-
detecting a physiological signal from the subject with an electrode; and analyzing the physiological signal from the subject using a processor to determine whether the subject is in a contra-ictal state, said contra-ictal state being a neurological state in which the subject is unlikely to transition into an ictal state within a time period. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A physiological monitoring system comprising:
-
an electrode configured to detect a physiological signal from a subject; and a user interface in communication with the electrode, the user interface providing an output based on the physiological signal, the output indicating whether the subject is in a contra-ictal state, said contra-ictal state being a neurological state in which the subject is unlikely to transition into an ictal state within a time period. - View Dependent Claims (20)
