Deep computing applications in medical device systems
First Claim
1. A method of managing the medical care of a patient having one or more implantable medical device implanted in the patient'"'"'s body to deliver a therapy and/or monitor a physiologic condition of the patient and capable of communicating patient data externally to a remote receiver comprising the steps of:
- providing patient data to a patient file at a centralized information database, the patient data including implantable medical device developed patient data;
accessing statistical data from public domain databases and governmental and international health agency databases;
applying deep computing techniques to mine the accessed statistical data to associate pertinent statistical data with the patient data in the patient file to form a patient specific medical profile;
based upon the patient specific medical profile, formulating patient specific information; and
delivering the formulated patient specific information to one or more of the patient and the health care provider providing care to the patient.

Abstract
Deep computing techniques are employed to mine statistical data bases and patient specific data files contributed from multiple sources, including implantable medical devices (IMDs) and external medical devices and other sources, to formulate patient-specific monitoring, diagnostic, therapeutic and educational information and to deliver the patient-specific diagnostic, therapeutic and educational information to the patient and/or patient health care provider. The present invention advantageously provides patient-specific information for IMD bearing patients that draws upon worldwide expertise and knowledge of IMDs of the type implanted, the patient'"'"'s disease etiology, the drugs prescribed to the patient, the knowledge of experts in the field, and the optimal modes of operating the IMD to monitor physiologic conditions or apply therapies as reported by experts and medical device manufacturers. Patient data is supplied to a patient file at a centralized information database, the patient data including IMD developed patient data. Statistical data from public domain databases and governmental and international health agency databases is accessed. Deep computing techniques are applied to mine the accessed statistical data to associate pertinent statistical data with the patient data in the patient file to form a patient specific medical profile. Based upon the patient specific medical profile, patient specific information is formulated and delivered to one or more of the patient and the health care provider providing care to the patient.

13. A computer-implemented software system of a centralized medical data information network for processing or deriving a patient specific medical profile to facilitate provision of medical care by medical care providers involving prescribing therapies delivered to the patient through operation of an implantable medical device implanted in the patient, the software system comprising:
-
inputting means for inputting data from various sources including implantable medical device developed patient data;
compiling means for compiling said inputted data from various sources into compiled data;
integrating means for integrating said compiled data with resident data in a centralized medical data information network into a patient file; and
analysis performing means for performing analysis of the patient file to generate the patient specific medical profile;
wherein said inputting means, said compiling means, said integrating means and said analysis performing means are functional structures of said centralized medical data information network. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A computer-implemented dynamic data and knowledge management software system of a centralized medical data information network implemented for chronic patient management to support diagnostic and therapy related medical decisions on an on-going basis in the form of a patient specific medical profile for a patient having one or more implantable medical device implanted in the patient, the software system comprising:
-
inputting means for inputting data from various sources and including implantable medical device-developed patient data;
compiling means for compiling said inputted data from various sources into compiled data;
integrating means for integrating said compiled data with resident data in a centralized medical data information network into a patient file; and
analysis performing means for performing deep computing techniques upon the patient file to generate the patient specific medical profile. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)
