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 response mechanism comprising at least two buttons, wherein the response mechanism is configured to be activated by at least one of actuation of the at least two buttons and actuation of one of the at least two buttons;
a controller operatively connected with the 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 for activation of one of the at least two buttons of the response mechanism within at least one predetermined time period;
monitor for activation of two of the at least two buttons of the response mechanism within the at least one predetermined time period;
delay delivery of a therapy to the patient in response to detection of eitheractivation of the one of the at least two buttons of the response mechanism within the at least one predetermined time period, oractivation of the two of the at least two buttons of the response mechanism within the at least one predetermined time period; and
prepare to deliver the therapy to the patient in response to each of the at least two buttons of the response mechanism remaining in a deactivated state until expiration of the at least one 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.
