METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DERIVING EFFECTIVENESS OF MEDICAL TREATMENT OF A PATIENT
First Claim
1. A method for deriving effectiveness of medical treatment of a patient, the method comprising:
- collecting patient state (PS) data from at least one of an implantable medical device (IMD) or an external medical device (EMD) over a collection interval, the at least one IMD or EMD configured to collect the PS data in relation to a physiologic characteristic (PC) of the patient;
transferring the PS data to a database that is remote from the patient to form a patient state data (PSD) history, wherein the patient undergoes a pivotal medical event (PME) during the collection interval;
analyzing the PS data within the PSD history before and after the PME to propose a treatment therapy (TT);
following delivery of the TT, repeating the collecting and transferring operations to obtain post-treatment PS data and form a post-treatment PSD history; and
deriving an effectiveness indicator (EI) of the TT based on at least the post-treatment PSD history.

Abstract
A method and system for deriving effectiveness of medical treatment of a patient are provided that include collecting patient state (PS) data from at least one of an implantable medical device (IMD) or an external medical device (EMD) over a collection interval. The collected PS data relates to a physiologic characteristic (PC) of the patient. The PS data is transferred to a database that is remote from the patient to form a patient state data (PSD) history. The patient undergoes a pivotal medical event (PME) during the collection interval. The PS data within the PSD history is analyzed before and after the PME to propose a treatment therapy (TT). Following delivery of the TT, the collecting and transferring operations are repeated to obtain post-treatment PS data and form a post-treatment PSD history. An effectiveness indicator (EI) of the TT is derived based on at least the post-treatment PSD history.

10. A method for deriving effectiveness of medical treatment of a patient, the method comprising:
-
collecting first patient state (PS) data from a first implantable medical device (IMD) over a collection interval, the first IMD configured to collect the first PS data in relation to a first physiologic characteristic (PC) of the patient; collecting second PS data from a second IMD, the second IMD configured to collect the second PS data in relation to a second PC of the patient, the first PC differing from the second PC; transferring the first and second PS data to a database that is remote from the patient to form a patient state data (PSD) history, wherein the patient undergoes a treatment therapy (TT) during the collection interval; deriving an effectiveness indicator (EI) of the TT, by an assessment module, based on the first and second PS data collected before and after the TT. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system for deriving effectiveness of medical treatment of a patient, comprising:
-
at least one of an implantable medical device (IMD) or an external medical device (EMD) for collecting patient state (PS) data from over a collection interval, the at least one IMD or EMD configured to collect the PS data in relation to a physiologic characteristic (PC) of the patient; a database configured to receive the PS data to form a patient state data (PSD) history, the database being remote from the patient, wherein the patient undergoes a pivotal medical event (PME) during the collection interval; an analysis module configured to analyze the PS data within the PSD history before and after the PME to propose a treatment therapy (TT); following delivery of the TT, the IMD or EMD and database repeating the collecting and receiving operations to obtain post-treatment PS data and a post-treatment PSD history; and an assessment module configured to derive an effectiveness indicator (EI) of the TT based on at least the post-treatment PSD history. - View Dependent Claims (18)

19. A system for deriving effectiveness of medical treatment of a patient, the system comprising:
-
a first implantable medical device (IMD) configured to collect first patient state (PS) data over a collection interval, the first IMD configured to collect the first PS data in relation to a first physiologic characteristic (PC) of the patient; a second IMD configured to collect second PS data in relation to a second PC of the patient, the first PC differing from the second PC; a database located remote from the patient, the database configured to receive the first and second PS data to form a patient state data (PSD) history, wherein the patient undergoes a treatment therapy (TT) during the collection interval; and an assessment module configured to derive an effectiveness indicator (EI) of the TT based on the first and second PS data collected before and after the TT. - View Dependent Claims (20)
