CONFIGURABLE COMPARATOR ECG STORAGE AND DISPLAY IN A WEARABLE DEFIBRILLATOR SYSTEM
Technologies and implementations for a wearable healthcare system including a remote device, a server, and a configurable comparator module (CCM). The CCM may be configured to facilitate communication between the server and a remote device. A wearable medical device (WMD) may be configured to provide electrocardiogram (ECG) data to the server. The CCM may be configured capture one or more portions of the ECG data to be configured and compared at the remote device. Accordingly, the CCM may be configured to display the one or more portions at the remote device capable of being utilized by a person at the remote device.
1 . A method performed with a wearable medical device (WMD), comprising:
communicating, via the WMD, electrocardiogram (ECG) data to a remote device;
capturing, via a configurable comparator module (CCM), a first portion of the ECG data based on a predetermined parameter, the first portion of the ECG data indicative of a non-episode portion of the ECG data;
capturing, via the CCM, a second portion of the ECG data, the second portion of the ECG data indicative of an episode portion of the ECG data;
causing to display at least the first portion and the second portion of the ECG data concurrently;
facilitating selection of a portion among the displayed first portion and the displayed second portion of the ECG data; and
identifying a type of rhythm corresponding to the selected portion of the ECG data for comparison by a user for use in a medical diagnosis.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the CCM is hosted on the remote device.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined parameter comprises a user selectable parameter.
4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising capturing a third portion of the ECG data and causing to display the third portion of the ECG data concurrently with the first portion and the second portion of the ECG data, wherein an R-wave peak of the third portion of the ECG data is aligned with R-wave peaks of the first portion and the second portion of the ECG data.
5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the third portion of the ECG data comprises a user selectable portion.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined parameter comprises an event detected by the WMD.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the second portion of the ECG data comprises a preceding portion of the ECG data, and wherein the preceding portion is captured a predetermined amount of time preceding the detected event.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the WMD comprises a wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD).
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined parameter comprises a periodic trigger.
10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second portion of the ECG data comprises a baseline portion of the ECG data, the baseline portion of the ECG data being a baseline portion captured during a non-episodic normal sinus rhythm.
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the baseline portion of the ECG data comprises the non-episodic normal sinus rhythm captured during an exercising heart rate.
12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the baseline portion of the ECG data comprises the non-episodic normal sinus rhythm captured during a sleeping heart rate.
13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the baseline portion of the ECG data comprises the non-episodic normal sinus rhythm captured during a sitting heart rate.
14 . The method of claim 1 , wherein causing to display at least the first portion and the second portion of the ECG data concurrently further comprises causing to display the first portion and the second portion of the ECG data overlayed on top of each other.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the first portion and the second portion of the ECG data comprises user interactable first portion and second portion.
16 . The method of claim 1 , wherein an R-wave peak of the first portion of the ECG data is aligned with an R-wave peak of the second portion of the ECG data.
17 . A method performed for medical diagnosis, comprising:
capturing, via a configurable comparator module (CCM), a first portion of electrocardiogram (ECG) data, the first portion of the ECG data indicative of a non-episode portion of the ECG data;
capturing, via the CCM, a second portion of the ECG data, the second portion of the ECG data indicative of an episode portion of the ECG data;
causing to display at least the first portion and the second portion of the ECG data;
facilitating selection of at least a sub-portion of the displayed first portion of the ECG data and a sub-portion of the displayed second portion of the ECG data; and
overlaying the selected sub-portions of the displayed first and second portions of the ECG data for comparison by a user for use in the medical diagnosis.
18 . The method of claim 17 , further comprising identifying a type of rhythm corresponding to the selected sub-portions of the displayed first and second portions of the ECG data.
19 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the first portion of the ECG data corresponds to a portion of the ECG data captured on a particular date, and wherein the second portion of the ECG data corresponds to a portion of the ECG data captured on another particular date.
20 . The method of claim 17 , wherein an R-wave peak of the first portion of the ECG data is aligned with an R-wave peak of the second portion of the ECG data.
