Systems and methods for patient activated capture of transient data by an implantable medical device
First Claim
1. A method for managing patient activated capture of transient data by an implantable medical device (IMD), the method comprising:
- collecting transient data utilizing an IMD;
storing the transient data in a temporary memory section of the IMD device;
receiving a patient activated (PA) storage request, the PA storage request including activation information related to a duration of time between entry of a patient designated trigger point and a connection event wherein the IMD establishes a communications link to an external activator device;
transferring a segment of the transient data from the temporary memory section to a long-term memory, wherein the segment is based at least in part on the trigger point and the activation information; and
analyzing the transient data to detect a condition experienced by the patient at the patient entered trigger point and modifying therapy delivered to the patient in response to the detected condition.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for managing patient activated capture of transient data by an implantable medical device (IMD). The systems and methods collect transient data using the IMD. The collected transient data is stored in a temporary memory section of the IMD. The IMD receives a patient activated storage request including activation information related to a patient designated trigger point from an external device. The IMD transfers a segment of the transient data from the temporary memory section to a long-term memory, wherein the segment of transferred transient data is based on the trigger point. The activation information includes an elapsed time corresponding to a duration of time between entry of the trigger point and issuance of the patient activated storage request by an external activation device.

11. An implantable medical device (IMD), comprising:
-
an input to collect transient data;
temporary memory section to store temporarily the transient data;a transceiver circuit to receive a patient activated (PA) storage request, the PA storage request including activation information related to a patient designated trigger point and an elapsed time corresponding to a duration of time between entry of the trigger point and a connection event at which the IMD establishes a communications link to an external activator device; and a processor to transfer a segment of the transient data from the temporary memory section to a long-term memory, wherein the segment is based at least in part on the trigger point and the active information. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A system, comprising:
-
an implantable medical device (IMD), comprising; an input to collect transient data; temporary memory section to store temporarily the transient data; a transceiver circuit to receive a patient activated (PA) storage request, the PA storage request including activation information related to a patient designated trigger point and an elapsed time corresponding to a duration of time between entry of the trigger point and a connection event at which the IMD establishes a communications link to an external activator device; and a processor to transfer a segment of the transient data from the temporary memory section to a long-term memory, wherein the segment is based on the trigger point; and the external activator device, comprising memory storing program instructions and a processor that, when executing the program instructions, identifies a trigger point in response to a user input and transmits the PA storage request and activation information based on the user input. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
