Patient event marking in combination with physiological signals
First Claim
1. A method of linking clusters of data by an implanted:
- (A) recording a first cluster with the implanted device upon determining that a signal exceeds a first threshold and continuing recording the first cluster until determining that the signal drops below a second threshold;
(B) recording a second cluster with the implanted device that is distinct from the first cluster;
(C) receiving a patient mark in the implanted device that is in close temporal proximity to the first and second clusters; and
(D) linking by the implanted device the first and second clusters in response to the patient mark.

Abstract
Methods for receiving a patient mark in an implanted device. A patient may experience symptoms that indicative of a neurological event or are common precursors to more severe clinical symptoms. The patient may activate a patient activator. Activation of the patient activator can cause the patient activator to transmit the patient mark to an implanted device. The implanted device may adjust physiological data being stored in response to the patient mark, including data before and after the patient mark. The patient mark may be used to fine tune the detection algorithms and otherwise tune the detection capability of the implanted device and may also be used as an aid in statistical analysis of the stored physiological data.

10. An apparatus comprising:
-
a processor; and a non-transitory computer-readable memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, are configured to cause the apparatus to perform operations comprising; recording a first data cluster upon determining that a signal exceeds a first threshold and continuing recording the first data cluster until determining that the signal drops below a second threshold; recording a second data cluster that is distinct from the first data cluster; receiving a patient mark that is in close temporal proximity to the first and second data cluster; and linking by the processor the first and second data cluster in response to the patient mark. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
