REMOTE MANAGEMENT OF WEARABLE CARDIAC DEFIBRILLATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240021286 titled 'REMOTE MANAGEMENT OF WEARABLE CARDIAC DEFIBRILLATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a wearable cardiac defibrillator (WCD) system that can be worn by a patient who also carries a mobile communication device. The mobile communication device has a user interface that allows the patient to enter wireless inputs. The WCD system includes a communication module that establishes a local connection with the mobile communication device. After a shock is applied to the patient, the mobile communication device can receive shock data from the WCD system, determine the location of the WCD system based on its own location, and transmit the shock data and location data to a central call center of a remote assistance system. The central call center can then enhance the operation of the WCD system by contacting the patient, contacting an emergency contact, and/or contacting a local emergency medical system (EMS).

  • The wearable cardiac defibrillator (WCD) system is designed to be worn by a patient who carries a mobile communication device.
  • The mobile communication device has a user interface that allows the patient to enter wireless inputs.
  • The WCD system includes a communication module that establishes a local connection with the mobile communication device.
  • After a shock is applied to the patient, the mobile communication device can receive shock data from the WCD system.
  • The mobile communication device can determine the location of the WCD system based on its own location.
  • The mobile communication device can transmit the shock data and location data to a central call center of a remote assistance system.
  • The central call center can enhance the operation of the WCD system by contacting the patient, contacting an emergency contact, and/or contacting a local emergency medical system (EMS).

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Remote monitoring and assistance for patients wearing a cardiac defibrillator.
  • Improved communication and coordination between patients, emergency contacts, and emergency medical systems.
  • Enhanced data collection and analysis for cardiac health monitoring.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Limited communication capabilities of traditional wearable cardiac defibrillators.
  • Difficulty in quickly notifying emergency contacts and medical systems in case of a cardiac event.
  • Lack of real-time location tracking for wearable cardiac defibrillators.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved patient safety and peace of mind through remote monitoring and assistance.
  • Faster response times in case of a cardiac event.
  • Enhanced data collection for better understanding and management of cardiac health.


Original Abstract Submitted

a wearable cardiac defibrillator (wcd) system is configured to be worn by a patient who carries a mobile communication device. the mobile communication device has a user interface that is configured to enable the patient to enter wireless inputs. the wcd system includes a communication module that is configured to establish a local commlink with the mobile communication device. the mobile communication device can receive shock data from the wcd system after a shock is applied to the patient, can determine a location of the wcd system based on a location of the mobile communication device, and can transmit the shock data and the location data to a central call center of a remote assistance system. the central call center can enhance the operation of the wcd system by contacting the patient, contacting and emergency contact, and/or contacting a local emergency medical system (ems).
