Use of patterns in processing on mobile monitoring device and computer system
A system include circuitry to receive information from a mobile device including ECG data representative of a beating heart, circuitry to analyze the ECG data using at least one pattern to detect a notable finding in the ECG data and circuitry to determine at least one pattern to send to the mobile device, based on the analysis of the ECG data. The system sends the at least one determined pattern to the mobile device.
1. A system comprising:
circuitry to receive information from a mobile device including ECG data representative of a beating heart;
circuitry to analyze the ECG data using at least one pattern to detect a notable finding in the ECG data, wherein the pattern comprises a rule that has a set of conditions and an action to perform if the set of conditions is met;
circuitry to determine at least one pattern to send to the mobile device, based on the analysis of the ECG data; and
circuitry to send the at least one determined pattern to the mobile device.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the determined pattern includes the parameters of a mathematical model.
3. The system of claim 1 wherein the determined pattern includes a template derived from historical ECG data.
4. The system of claim 1 wherein circuitry to analyze the ECG data includes circuitry to compare the analyzed ECG data to templates from categories of cardiac events in order to classify the ECG data.
5. The system of claim 1 wherein sending the determined pattern includes sending software.
6. The system of claim 1 wherein the pattern comprises a cardiac rhythm pattern.
7. The system of claim 6 wherein the cardiac rhythm pattern comprises a bigeminy pattern, the pattern including a rhythm template that represents the bigeminy pattern; and
wherein incoming beats are compared to the rhythm template to determine if a bigeminy condition exists in signals of the incoming beats.
8. The system of claim 1 wherein the pattern is selected based on information from the mobile device, including user characteristics or physiological data samples collected for the user from the mobile device, or data derived by the mobile device from the physiological data samples, including heart beat patterns and heart rhythm patterns.
9. The system of claim 1 wherein the pattern is selected based on user characteristics, including patient clinical and demographic information, and is sent to initialize the mobile device.
10. The system of claim 1 wherein the pattern comprises new or updated software for execution by the mobile device.
11. The system of claim 1 wherein the rule is a classification rule.
12. The system of claim 1 wherein the rule is a processing rule.
13. The system of claim 1 wherein the rule is a set of rules generated for a specific condition or patient.
14. An arrangement comprising:
a mobile device for processing ECG data representative of a beating heart, using at least one pattern to detect a notable finding in the ECG data and sending the notable finding to a second system;
the second system executing a process for analyzing the notable finding and determining at least one new pattern to send to the mobile device, based on the analysis of the notable finding, wherein the at least one new pattern is a rule that has a set of conditions and an action to perform if the set of conditions is met; and
a process to send the at least one new pattern to the mobile device.
15. A method comprising:
receiving a first notable finding from a mobile device configured to analyze ECG data representative of a beating heart;
analyzing the first notable finding using at least one pattern to detect a second notable finding;
determining at least one pattern to send to the mobile device based on the second notable finding;
generating a rule for a specific condition or patient based on the at least one determined pattern; and
sending the generated rule to the mobile device.
