AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current systems fail to timely and accurately detect myocardial infarction events, which are a leading cause of death, requiring improved monitoring and rapid reporting to ensure immediate medical attention.

Method used

An implantable medical device with a motion sensor and processing arrangement that identifies myocardial infarction events by comparing sensed motion signals to defined signature patterns, using accelerometer data and potentially combining with electrocardiogram and respirational information, and triggering alerts for healthcare personnel.

Benefits of technology

Enables timely and accurate identification of myocardial infarction events, facilitating immediate medical intervention by processing motion signals to match predefined patterns and alerting healthcare services.

Abstract

A system for performing a therapeutic and / or diagnostic function in a patient (P) comprises an implantable medical device (1) configured for implantation in a patient (P), the implantable medical device (1) comprising a motion sensor (18) for sensing a motion signal (M) indicative of a motion of the patient (P). A processing arrangement for processing the motion signal obtained by the motion sensor (18) is configured to process said motion signal (M) by comparing information derived from said motion signal (M) to a defined signature motion pattern in order to identify a myocardial infarction event.
