Problems solved by technology

With such a patient-specific reference being the EMG signal during maximal respiratory effort, the patient needs to perform a series of maximal respiration calibration periods during the COPD monitoring process, thereby making patient compliance even more difficult to achieve

Embodiment Construction

[0038] first go to figure 1 , an exemplary medical monitoring system 10 constructed in accordance with the present invention will now be described. The medical monitoring system 10 is configured for indirectly assessing the neurorespiration of a patient 12 suffering from a respiratory disease such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by monitoring aspects of the patient's 12 breathing over one or more breathing cycles. Drive (NRD). For example, the medical monitoring system 10 may track NRD by sensing biomarkers indicative of NRD (e.g., electromyographic (EMG) signals), and generating neural respiratory drive (NRD) indicators (values ​​representative of NRD) based on the sensed biomarkers. NRD of Patient 12. The medical monitoring system 100 is further configured to predict the onset of an acute exacerbation of the respiratory disease of the patient 12 based on the generated NRD index value, and to warn / notify the patient 12 (or an accompanying person) if the onse...

Abstract

A medical monitoring system and method for monitoring a patient is provided. A sensor is implanted within the patient. A biomarker is detected via the implanted sensor within the patient. The detectedbiomarker is indicative of a neural respiratory drive (NRD) of the patient. An NRD index value is generated based on the detected biomarker.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 251,395, filed November 5, 2015, which is expressly incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to medical systems, and in particular to medical systems for monitoring a patient for a respiratory disease, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Background technique [0004] Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an obstructive lung disease characterized by long-term poor airflow due to narrowing of small airways and rupture of lung tissue. COPD is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, affecting about 20 percent of American adults. COPD develops a marked and chronic inflammatory response to inhaled irritants, most commonly due to smoking. The main symptoms of COPD include shortness of breath, a productive cough and sputum production that make it difficult to perform every...
