Systems and methods for detecting health disorders
First Claim
1. A method of treating a patient presenting with syncope, the method comprising:
- monitoring, by a plurality of physiological sensors of an external wearable defibrillator worn by the patient and configured to provide a therapeutic treatment to the patient via one or more external treatment electrodes disposed in the external wearable defibrillator, a plurality of physiological parameters, the plurality of physiological parameters including at least an electrocardiogram signal of the patient;
detecting, by the external wearable defibrillator, an event associated with syncope based on the plurality of physiological parameters and data received from at least one motion sensor disposed on the patient;
storing, by the external wearable defibrillator and responsive to detecting the event, data descriptive of the event in association with an indication that the data includes data descriptive of a syncopal event; and
addressing the event.

Abstract
According to some embodiments, a wearable medical device capable of treating a patient presenting with syncope is provided. The wearable medical device includes a memory storing event profile information, a battery, at least one treatment electrode coupled to the battery, at least one processor coupled to the memory and the at least one treatment electrode, and an event manager executed by the at least one processor. The event manager is configured to detect an event associated with syncope; store, in the memory, data descriptive of the event in association with an indication that the data includes data descriptive of a syncopal event; and address the event.
