System and method for adapting alarms in a wearable medical device
First Claim
1. An ambulatory medical device comprising:
- a memory storing a plurality of adaptation paths associated with an alarm; and
at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to;
detect an occurrence of an event from a group of events comprising a physiological abnormality and an event concerning the ambulatory medical device;
issue a first instance of the alarm in response to detecting the occurrence;
adapt, in response to no predetermined response to the first instance of the alarm being received within a target response time, at least one characteristic of the alarm according to at least one adaptation path selected from the plurality of adaptation paths; and
issue a second instance of the alarm having the at least one adapted characteristic.

Abstract
According to another example, a wearable medical device controller is provided. The device controller includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to determine a correlation between a phenomenon identifiable by the wearable medical device controller and at least one response pattern associated with a patient and store, responsive to detecting the correlation, an adaptation path to address the at least one response pattern, the adaptation path specifying an adaptation of at least one characteristic of an alarm. The at least one response pattern may include a plurality of response patterns and the adaptation path may reflect adaptations made to address at least some of the plurality of response patterns.

29. A method executed by an ambulatory medical device, the method comprising:
-
detecting an occurrence of an event from a group of events comprising a physiological abnormality and an event concerning the ambulatory medical device; issuing a first instance of an alarm responsive to detecting the occurrence; determining that no predetermined response to the first instance of the alarm was received within a target response time; adapting, responsive to determining that no predetermined response was received within the target response time, at least one characteristic of the alarm according to at least one adaptation path of a plurality of adaptation paths stored in a memory of the ambulatory medical device; and issuing a second instance of the alarm, the second instance of the alarm having the at least one adapted characteristic. - View Dependent Claims (30)

31. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing sequences of instructions executable by at least one processor, the sequences of instructions instructing the at least one processor to adapt alarms issued by an ambulatory medical device, the sequences of instructions including instructions to:
-
detect an occurrence of an event from a group of events comprising a physiological abnormality and an event concerning the ambulatory medical device; issue a first instance of an alarm responsive to detecting the occurrence; determine that no predetermined response to the first instance of the alarm was received within a target response time; adapt, responsive to determining that no predetermined response was received within the target response time, at least one characteristic of the alarm according to at least one adaptation path of a plurality of adaptation paths stored in a memory of the ambulatory medical device; and issue a second instance of the alarm, the second instance of the alarm having the at least one adapted characteristic. - View Dependent Claims (32)

33. An ambulatory external defibrillator comprising:
-
at least one processor configured to; issue a first instance of an alarm in response to at least one of an indication of a physiological abnormality in a patient and an event concerning one or more components of the ambulatory external defibrillator; adapt at least one characteristic of the alarm according to at least one adaptation path on determining that no response was received to the first instance of the alarm; and issue a second instance of the alarm having the at least one adapted characteristic; at least one therapy delivery electrode coupled with the at least one processor and configured to deliver therapy to the patient; at least one electrocardiogram (ECG) sensing electrode coupled with the at least one processor and configured to obtain an ECG signal from the patient; and a garment configured to be worn by the patient, wherein at least one of the at least one therapy delivery electrode and the at least one ECG sensing electrode is integrated into the garment.
