Systems and methods of delivering therapy using an ambulatory medical device
First Claim
1. An ambulatory medical device capable of delivering therapy to a patient, the ambulatory medical device comprising:
- a controller for controlling the delivery of the therapy to the patient, the controller including at least one processor coupled with a memory;
a user interface in wireless communication with the controller;
a response mechanism having a state that is activated by one response button disposed on the user interface; and
a therapy manager component executable by the controller and configured to;
detect a physiological parameter having a value indicative of a cardiac disorder of the patient;
notify the patient of impending therapy delivery in response to the detection of the physiological parameter;
request the patient to provide a first input to the ambulatory medical device via the response mechanism;
monitor the state of the response mechanism by detecting activation of the one response button within at least one predetermined time period;
delay therapy delivery to the patient in response to detecting a change in the state of the response mechanism by the activation of the one response button within the at least one predetermined time period;
monitor the state of the response mechanism for a second predetermined time period; and
request the patient to provide a second input to the ambulatory medical device via the response mechanism during the second predetermined time period.

Abstract
An ambulatory medical device capable of delivering therapy to a patient includes at least one response mechanism having a state capable of being activated by one response button; a controller operatively connected with the at least one response mechanism, the controller including at least one processor coupled with a memory; and a therapy manager component executable by the controller and configured to detect a physiological parameter having a value indicative of a health disorder of the patient, notify the patient of impending therapy delivery in response to the detection of the physiological parameter, monitor the state of each at least one response mechanism within at least one predetermined time period, and delay therapy delivery to the patient in response to detection of a change in the state in a single response mechanism of the at least one response mechanism within the at least one predetermined time period.

15. A method for delivering therapy to a patient using an ambulatory medical device comprising:
-
detecting, by a controller of the ambulatory medical device, a physiological parameter having a value indicative of a cardiac disorder of the patient; notifying the patient of impending therapy delivery in response to the detection of the physiological parameter; requesting the patient to provide a first input to the ambulatory medical device via a response mechanism having a state that is activated by one response button, the response mechanism being disposed on a user interface in wireless communication with the controller; monitoring the state of the response mechanism by detecting the activation of the one response button within at least one predetermined time period; delaying therapy delivery to the patient in response to detecting a change in the state of the response mechanism by the activation of the one response button within the at least one predetermined time period; monitoring the state of the response mechanism for a second predetermined time period; and requesting the patient to provide a second input to the ambulatory medical device via the response mechanism during the second predetermined time period. - View Dependent Claims (16)

17. An ambulatory medical device capable of delivering therapy to a patient, the ambulatory medical device comprising:
-
a controller for controlling the delivery of the therapy to the patient, the controller including at least one processor coupled with a memory; a garment configured to be worn on a torso of the patient; a plurality of therapy electrodes disposed on the garment, coupled to the controller, and configured to deliver the therapy to the patient; a plurality of ECG sensing electrodes disposed on the garment, coupled to the controller, and configured to monitor a cardiac function of the patient; a user interface in wireless communication with the controller; a response mechanism having a state that is activated by one response button disposed on the user interface; and a therapy manager component executable by the controller and configured to; detect a physiological parameter having a value indicative of a cardiac disorder of the patient; notify the patient of impending therapy delivery in response to the detection of the physiological parameter; request the patient to provide a first input to the ambulatory medical device via the response mechanism; monitor the state of the response mechanism by detecting activation of the one response button within at least one predetermined time period; delay therapy delivery to the patient in response to detecting a change in the state of the response mechanism by the activation of the one response button within the at least one predetermined time period; monitor the state of the response mechanism for a second predetermined time period; and request the patient to provide a second input to the ambulatory medical device via the response mechanism during the second predetermined time period. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
