Cardiac Monitoring and Management System - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18094810 titled 'Cardiac Monitoring and Management System

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes systems and methods for determining the cardiac burden of a user. This involves collecting a series of cardiac measurements using sensors and generating data points based on these measurements. The data points indicate the occurrence or absence of a qualified cardiac event at specific time points.

  • The system collects cardiac measurements using sensors.
  • Data points are generated based on the measurements, indicating the occurrence or absence of a qualified cardiac event at specific time points.
  • Additional data points are generated for a different set of time points.
  • The cardiac burden for a predefined period of time is determined using the measured data points and additional data points.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Monitoring cardiac health and burden in individuals.
  • Providing insights into the occurrence and frequency of qualified cardiac events.
  • Assisting healthcare professionals in diagnosing and managing cardiac conditions.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Allows for continuous monitoring of cardiac health, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the cardiac burden.
  • Enables early detection of cardiac events and timely intervention.
  • Provides a non-invasive and convenient method for monitoring cardiac health.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved accuracy in determining the cardiac burden by considering a series of measurements over time.
  • Enables personalized monitoring and management of cardiac health.
  • Facilitates remote monitoring and telemedicine, reducing the need for frequent hospital visits.


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for determining a cardiac burden of a user. Methods include collecting a series of cardiac measurements at a first set of time points using one or more sensors and determining a set of measured data points. Each measured data point can include a time value from the first set of time points and a classification comprising one of an occurrence of a qualified cardiac event or absence of the qualified cardiac event. Methods include generating a set of additional data points each including a time value from the second set of time points and a classification of one of the occurrence of the qualified cardiac event or the absence of the qualified cardiac event. Methods include determining a value of the cardiac burden for a predefined period of time using the set of measured data points and the set of additional data points.
