System and method for automated diagnosis of atrial fibrillation through remote monitoring
First Claim
1. A system for automated assessment of atrial fibrillation and related health disorders through remote monitoring, comprising:
- an implantable medical device configured to collect physiological measures from a patient;
a server;
a database module maintained on the server and configured to store the physiological measures;
a comparison module configured to identify cardiac rhythm and cardiac rhythm changes from the physiological measures within a set time period;
an analysis module configured to evaluate the cardiac rhythm changes and determine a time span during which the cardiac rhythm changes occurred; and
a diagnostic module configured to generate an alert of an onset of atrial fibrillation occurring during the time span and to further detect the presence of one or more near-simultaneous disorders that share the same forms of symptomatology as atrial fibrillation.

Abstract
A system and method for automated diagnosis of atrial fibrillation through remote monitoring is described. Physiological measures including data either recorded on a regular basis by a medical device or derived therefrom are stored. Physiological measures recorded during a baseline period are identified. Physiological measures including cardiac rhythm and changes to the cardiac rhythm originating subsequent to the baseline period are identified. Cardiac rhythm changes for palpitations are evaluated and a time course for the cardiac rhythm changes upon an indication of palpitations is determined. A patient status including an onset of atrial fibrillation conditioned on the time course comprising a short duration is formed.
