TELEMEDICINE SYSTEM FOR IMD PATIENTS USING AUDIO/VIDEO DATA
First Claim
1. A method for assisting a remote implantable medical device (IMD) clinician with evaluation of a patient having an IMD, comprising:
- a. capturing audio/video data of the patient while the patient performs a first evaluation protocol at a first location;
b. performing a pattern recognition analysis of the audio/video data of the patient, comprising comparing specific portions of the audio/video data to like portions of previous audio/video data of the patient that were recorded while the patient performed the first evaluation protocol; and
c. providing a report of any changes identified during the pattern recognition analysis.

Abstract
A method and system for assisting a remote implantable medical device (IMD) clinician with evaluation of a patient having an IMD. The method includes capturing audio/video data of the patient while the patient performs a first evaluation protocol at a first location and performing a pattern recognition analysis of the audio/video data of the patient. The analysis includes comparing specific portions of the audio/video data to like portions of previous audio/video data of the patient that were recorded while the patient performed the first evaluation protocol. Yet another step is providing a report of any changes identified during the pattern recognition analysis.

12. A method for assisting a remote implantable medical device (IMD) clinician with evaluation of a patient having an IMD, comprising:
-
a. providing a patient interface device at a patient location configured to retrieve identity data and sensor data from an implantable medical device (IMD), wherein the patient interface device is further configured to receive IMD data from the IMD; b. providing a clinician interface device at a clinician location configured to be in remote, bi-directional audio/video communication with the patient interface device; c. the patient interface device capturing audio/video data of the patient while the patient performs a first evaluation protocol at the first location; and d. performing a pattern recognition analysis of the audio/video data of the patient, comprising comparing specific portions of the audio/video data to like portions of previous audio/video data of the patient that were recorded while the patient performed the first evaluation protocol; and e. providing to the clinician interface device a report of any changes identified during the pattern recognition analysis; and f. generating an alert if the changes identified during the pattern recognition analysis meet alert threshold requirements.

13. A system for assisting a remote implantable medical device (IMD) clinician with evaluation of a patient having an IMD, comprising:
-
a. a patient interface device configured to; i. retrieve identity data and sensor data from an implantable medical device (IMD) at a first location, and ii. capture audio/video data of the patient while the patient performs a first evaluation protocol at the first location; b. a clinician interface device configured to be in remote, bi-directional audio/video communication with the patient interface device; c. wherein the system is configured to perform a pattern recognition analysis of the audio/video data of the patient, comprising comparing specific portions of the audio/video data to like portions of previous audio/video data of the patient that were recorded while the patient performed the first evaluation protocol; and d. wherein the system is configured to provide to the clinician interface device a report of any changes identified during the pattern recognition analysis. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
