Ambulatory medical device with alert controller
First Claim
1. An ambulatory medical device, comprising:
- a) a device controller, the device controller configured to control operation of the ambulatory medical device;
b) an alert controller, the alert controller configured to;
determine a first alerting interval, the first alerting interval defining an earliest point in time and a latest point in time for an alert generation due to a first alerting cause,determine in the first alerting interval an alerting point in time based on an alerting criterion, generate an alert trigger at the alerting point in time; and
c) an indicator, the indicator configured to generate an alert upon generation of the alert trigger, wherein the alert controller is further configured to;
determine a second alerting interval, the second alerting interval defining an earliest point in time and a latest point in time for an alert generation due to a second alerting cause, anddetect an overlap interval of the first alerting interval and the second alerting interval,wherein the alerting criterion is provided such that the alert is generated in the overlap interval and the alert is a common alert for the first alerting cause and the second alerting cause and the indicator is configured to indicate the first alerting cause and the second alerting cause.

Abstract
An ambulatory medical device is disclosed. The device comprises a device controller, an alert controller, and an indicator. The device controller may be configured to control the operation of the ambulatory medical device. The alert controller may be configured to: determine a first alerting interval, the first alerting interval defining an earliest point in time and a latest point in time for an alert generation due to a first alerting cause; determine in the first alerting interval an alerting point in time based on an alerting criterion; and generate an alert trigger at the alerting point in time. The indicator may be configured to generate an alert upon generation of the alert trigger. The alerting criterion may be used to generate an alert within the alerting interval at a time especially suited and/or convenient for the device user.

15. An ambulatory medical device, comprising:
-
a) a device controller, the device controller configured to control operation of the ambulatory medical device; b) an alert controller, the alert controller configured to; determine an alerting interval, the alerting interval defining an earliest point in time and a latest point in time for an alert generation due to an alerting cause, determine in the alerting interval an alerting point in time based on an alerting criterion, generate an alert trigger at the alerting point in time; and c) an indicator, the indicator configured to generate an alert upon generation of the alert trigger, wherein the alerting criterion comprises a time-dependent user acceptance of the generated alert, and wherein the alert controller is configured to detect an overlap interval of high user acceptance for the generated alert and the alerting interval, wherein the alerting criterion is provided such that the alert trigger is generated in the overlap interval. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
