Abstract

In one embodiment, a method to display data collected by a wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) is described. The method includes receiving raw heart rate data from one or more electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors. The method also includes classifying the heart rate data into one of a ventricular (VT) and supra-ventricular (SVT) segments based at least in part on the QRS width, recording the classification and time stamp of each VT and SVT heart rate, and generating one or more interactive displays of the VT and SVT segments.

Claims (68)

1 . A method to display patient data collected by a wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD), the method comprising:

receiving raw heart rate data from one or more electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors;

classifying the heart rate data into one of a ventricular (VT) and supra-ventricular (SVT) segment;

recording the classification and time stamp of each VT and SVT segment; and

generating one or more interactive displays of each VT and SVT segments.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein classifying the heart rate data further comprises:

generating a template for a normal QRS heart rate complex for a user of the WCD; and

comparing the template to the QRS width of the raw heart rate data.

3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

generating one or more graphs of VT and SVT segments displaying a QRS width of each VT and SVT heartbeat.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining at least one of a maximum, a minimum, an average, and some combination thereof of the VT and SVT segments once every predetermined time period.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a percentage of segments that are VT segments and a percentage of segments that are SVT segments for a predetermined time period; and

generating a visual representation to visibly display the percentage of VT segments and SVT segments for the predetermined time period.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the predetermined time period is adjustable.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating a graph of VT segments for a predetermined time period;

generating a graph of SVT segments for the predetermined time period; and

combining the graphs into a display.

8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving movement data from a motion sensor coupled to the WCD;

analyzing movement data to determine patient mobility data;

generating a graph of the patient mobility data; and

displaying the graph of patient mobility data with the VT and SVT segment data.

9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating a maximum, minimum, and average segment reading for a specific time stamp; and

displaying the maximum, minimum, and average segment for the specific time stamp when prompted.

10 . The method of claim 1 , further including:

analyzing a QRS width of the raw heart rate data.

11 . A wearable cardiac defibrillator (WCD) system for monitoring health of a patient wearing the WCD system, the system comprising:

at least one sensor positioned to gather data about the patient;

one or more memories, the one or more memories configured to analyze patient data; and

one or more processors configured to cause the system to:

receive raw heart rate data from one or more electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors;

classify the heart rate data into one of a ventricular (VT) and supra-ventricular (SVT) segment based at least in part on the QRS width;

record the classification and time stamp of each VT and SVT segment; and

generate one or more interactive displays of each of the VT and SVT segment.

12 . The WCD system of claim 11 , wherein when classifying the heart rate data, the processor is further configured to:

generate a template for a normal QRS heart rate complex for a user of the WCD; and

compare the template to the QRS width of the raw heart rate data.

13 . The WCD system of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

generate a graph of VT and SVT segments displaying a QRS width of each VT and SVT segment.

14 . The WCD system of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine at least one of a maximum, a minimum, an average, and some combination thereof of the VT and SVT segment once every predetermined time period.

15 . The WCD system of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine a percentage of segments that are VT segments and a percentage of segments that are SVT segments for a predetermined time period; and

generate a visual representation to visibly display the percentage of VT segments and SVT segments for the predetermined time period.

16 . The WCD system of claim 15 , wherein the predetermined time period is adjustable.

17 . The WCD system of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

generate a graph of VT segments for a predetermined time period;

generate a graph of SVT segments for the predetermined time period; and

combine the graphs into a display.

18 . The WCD system of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive movement data from a motion sensor coupled to the WCD;

analyze movement data to determine patient mobility data;

generate a graph of the patient mobility data; and

display the graph of patient mobility data with the VT and SVT segment data.

19 . The WCD system of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

generate a maximum, minimum, and average heart rate reading for a specific time stamp; and

display the maximum, minimum, and average heart rate for the specific time stamp when prompted.

20 . A method to display data collected by a wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD), the method comprising:

positioning at least one electrocardiogram (ECG) sensing electrodes to measure electrical activity of a heart of a person;

receiving at least one ECG signal from the at least one ECG electrodes;

analyzing the signal into usable data including a QRS width of each segment;

classifying the heart rate data into one of a ventricular (VT) and supra-ventricular (SVT) segment based at least in part on the QRS width;

recording the classification and time stamp of each VT and SVT segment; and

generating one or more interactive displays of the VT and SVT segments.
