Patent Images
1. A non-transitory computer readable program storage unit encoded with instructions that, when executed by a computer, perform a method for confirming an occurrence of a brain state change, comprising:
- obtaining data relating to at least a portion of a heart beat complex shape from a patient;
identifying an occurrence of a brain state change based upon a first body parameter, wherein said first body parameter is not a parameter relating to at least a portion of said first heart beat complex shape;
comparing said at least said portion of said heart beat complex shape with a corresponding portion of a first reference heart beat complex shape template of said patient; and
,confirming an occurrence of a brain state change based upon a determination that said heart beat complex shape fails to match said first reference heart beat complex shape template;
wherein said comparing and said confirming are performed in response to said identifying, to validate said identifying.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus for detecting and/or validating a detection of a state change by matching the shape of one or more of a cardiac data series, a heart rate variability data series, or at least a portion of a heart beat complex, derived from cardiac data, to an appropriate template.

11. A non-transitory computer readable program storage unit encoded with instructions that, when executed by a computer, perform a method for indicating an occurrence of a brain state change, comprising:
-
obtaining data relating to at least a portion of a heart beat complex shape from a patient; comparing said at least said portion of said heart beat complex shape with a corresponding portion of a first reference heart beat complex shape template of said patient; and
,indicating an occurrence of a brain state change based upon a determination that said heart beat complex shape fails to match said first reference heart beat complex shape template validating an occurrence of a brain state change in response to said indicating, wherein said validating is not based upon a determination that at least a portion of a heart beat complex shape fails to match a first reference heart beat complex shape template. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A medical device for determining an occurrence of a brain state change, comprising:
-
a cardiac data collection module for receiving cardiac data comprising a PQRST complex of a patient; a heart rate derivative/complex module for determining a shape of said PQRST complex; a template match module for comparing at least a portion of said morphology of said PQRST complex with a corresponding portion of a first reference non-seizure PQRST complex template, and for indicating an occurrence of a brain state change based upon a determination that said PQRST complex fails to match said first reference non-seizure PQRST complex template; and a brain state change module for identifying an occurrence of a brain state change, wherein said identifying is not based upon a determination that at least a portion of said morphology of said PQRST complex fails to match said first reference non-seizure PQRST complex template. - View Dependent Claims (21)
