Method and apparatus for personalized physiologic parameters

a physiologic parameter and personalized technology, applied in the field of monitoring and treating people and animals, can solve the problems of insufficient monitoring of patients, unable to reliably detect and/or avoid impending cardiac decompensation, and measurement alone may not be sufficient to achieve the effect of reliably detecting and/or avoiding cardiac decompensation, and being less sensitive to patient characteristics

Abstract

Methods and apparatus combine patient measurement data with demographic or physiological data of the patient to determine an output that can be used to diagnose and treat the patient. A customized output can be determined based the demographics of the patient, physiological data of the patient, and data of a population of patients. In another aspect, patient measurement data is used to predict an impending cardiac event, such as acute decompensated heart failure. At least one personalized value is determined for the patient, and a patient event prediction output is generated based at least in part on the personalized value and the measurement data. For example, bioimpedance data may be used to establish a baseline impedance specific to the patient, and the patient event prediction output generated based in part on the relationship of ongoing impedance measurements to the baseline impedance. Multivariate prediction models may enhance prediction accuracy.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority from provisional U.S. Patent Application No. 61 / 321,040, titled “Method and Apparatus for Personalized Physiologic Parameters” and filed Apr. 5, 2010, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein for all purposes.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention relates to monitoring and treatment of people and animals, and more specifically to patient monitoring and treatment of disease. Although embodiments make specific reference to monitoring impedance and electrocardiogram signals with an adherent patch, the system methods and device described herein may be applicable to many applications in which physiological monitoring is used, for example wireless physiological monitoring with implantable devices for extended periods.

[0003] Patients are often treated for diseases and / or conditions associated with a compromised status of the patient, for example a compromised physiologic status such as heart disease. In ...
