System and method for adapting alarms in a wearable medical device
First Claim
1. An ambulatory medical device comprising:
- at least one sensor configured to acquire physiologic data from a patient, the physiologic data comprising cardiopulmonary data;
a memory for storing at least a portion of the physiologic data; and
at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured todetect a physiologic abnormality in the patient,issue an alarm in response to detecting the physiologic abnormality,monitor for a response to the alarm,detect an indication that is correlated with a delayed response time by the patient based at least in part on the physiologic data,adapt the alarm to address the delayed response time, andissue the adapted alarm.

Abstract
According to another example, a wearable medical device controller is provided. The device controller includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to determine a correlation between a phenomenon identifiable by the wearable medical device controller and at least one response pattern associated with a patient and store, responsive to detecting the correlation, an adaptation path to address the at least one response pattern, the adaptation path specifying an adaptation of at least one characteristic of an alarm. The at least one response pattern may include a plurality of response patterns and the adaptation path may reflect adaptations made to address at least some of the plurality of response patterns.

19. An ambulatory medical device comprising:
-
at least one sensor configured to acquire physiologic data from a patient, the physiologic data comprising cardiopulmonary data; at least one sensor configured to acquire data descriptive of at least one of patient body position, patient motion, patient test responses, and patient speech; a memory for storing at least a portion of the physiologic data and the data descriptive of at least one of patient body position, patient motion, patient test responses, and patient speech; and at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to process the physiologic data and the data descriptive of at least one of patient body position, patient motion, patient test responses, and patient speech to detect a physiologic abnormality in the patient, issue an alarm in response to detecting the physiologic abnormality, monitor for a response to the alarm, detect an indication that is correlated with a delayed response time by the patient, adapt the alarm to address the delayed response time, and issue the adapted alarm.

20. A method of adapting alarms issued from an ambulatory medical device comprising at least one sensor, a memory, and at least one processor coupled to the memory, the method comprising:
-
acquiring physiologic data from a patient via the at least one sensor, the physiologic data comprising cardiopulmonary data; storing at least a portion of the physiologic data in the memory; detecting a physiologic abnormality in the patient;
issuing an alarm in response to detecting the physiologic abnormality;monitoring for a response to the alarm; detecting an indication that is correlated with a delayed response time by the patient based at least in part on the physiologic data; adapting the alarm to address the delayed response time based on detecting the indication that is correlated with the delayed response time by the patient; and issuing the adapted alarm. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)
