Definitions
- the present invention relates in general to automated data collection and analysis, and, in particular, to a system and method for providing collection and analysis of patient information for use in automated patient care.
- Implantable pulse generators are medical devices commonly used to treat irregular heartbeats, known as arrhythmias.
- Cardiac pacemakers are used to manage bradycardia, an abnormally slow or irregular heartbeat. Left untreated, bradycardia can cause symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and fainting.
- Implantable cardioverter defibrillators ICDs are used to treat tachycardia, heart rhythms that are abnormally fast and life threatening. Tachycardia can result in sudden cardiac death (SCD).
- Pacemakers and ICDs are increasingly being equipped with an on-board, volatile memory in which telemetered signals can be stored for later retrieval and analysis.
- the telemetered signals provide patient device information regarding atrial electrical activity, ventricular electrical activity, time of day, activity level, cardiac output, oxygen level, cardiovascular pressure measures, pulmonary measures, and any interventions made on a per heartbeat or binned average basis.
- cardiac medical devices including implantable heart failure monitors, implantable event monitors, cardiovascular monitors, and therapy devices, are being used to provide similar stored device information. These devices are able to store approximately thirty minutes of per heartbeat data.
- Telemetered signals are also stored in a broader class of monitors and therapeutic devices for other areas of medicine, including metabolism, endocrinology, hematology, neurology, muscular, gastrointestinal, genital-urology ocular, auditory, and the like.
- stored device information is retrieved using a proprietary interrogator or programmer, often during a clinic visit or following a device event.
- the volume of data retrieved from a single device interrogation “snapshot” can be large and proper interpretation and analysis can require significant physician time and detailed subspecialty knowledge, particularly by cardiologists and cardiac electrophysiologists.
- the sequential logging and analysis of regularly scheduled interrogations can create an opportunity for recognizing subtle and incremental changes in patient condition otherwise undetectable by inspection of a single “snapshot.”
- present approaches to data interpretation and understanding and practical limitations on time and physician availability make such analysis impracticable.
- a prior art system for collecting and analyzing pacemaker and ICD telemetered signals in a clinical or office setting is the Model 9790 Programmer, manufactured by Medtronic, Inc., Minneapolis, Minn. This programmer can be used to retrieve data, such as patient electrocardiogram and any measured physiological conditions, collected by the IPG for recordation, display and printing. The retrieved data is displayed in chronological order and analyzed by a physician.
- Comparable prior art systems are available from other IPG manufacturers, such as the Model 2901 Programmer Recorder Monitor, manufactured by Guidant Corporation, Indianapolis, Ind. which includes a removable floppy diskette mechanism for patient data storage. These prior art systems lack remote communications facilities and must be operated with the patient present. These systems present a limited analysis of the collected data based on a single device interrogation and lack the capability to recognize trends in the data spanning multiple episodes over time or relative to a disease specific peer group.
- the implanted device includes a telemetry transceiver for communicating data and operating instructions between the implanted device and an external patient communications device.
- the communications device includes a communication link to a remote medical support network, a global positioning satellite receiver, and a patient activated link for permitting patient initiated communication with the medical support network.
- telemetered data is downloaded to a larger capacity, external data recorder and is forwarded to a clinic using an auto-dialer and fax modem operating in a personal computer-based programmer/interrogator.
- the '976 telemetry transceiver, '869 communicator, and '245 programmer/interrogator are limited to facilitating communication and transferal of downloaded patient data and do not include an ability to automatically track, recognize, and analyze trends in the data itself.
- implantable medical device information such as telemetered signals
- the automated analysis would include recognizing a trend and determining whether medical intervention is necessary.
- the measures sets for an individual patient could be self-referenced and cross-referenced to similar or dissimilar patients and to the general patient population.
- the historical collected measures sets of an individual patient could be compared and analyzed against those of other patients in general or of a disease specific peer group in particular.
- the present invention provides a system and method for analyzing data during automated patient management.
- the patient device information relates to individual measures recorded by and retrieved from implantable medical devices, such as IPGs and monitors.
- the patient device information is received on a regular, e.g., daily, basis as sets of collected measures, which are stored along with other patient records in a database.
- the information can be analyzed in an automated fashion and feedback provided to the patient at any time and in any location.
- An embodiment is a system and method for analyzing data during automated patient management.
- a patient enrolled under automated patient management is identified with information including at least one of treatment profile and medical history.
- Device measures are collected to provide raw physiometry for the patient regularly recorded by an implantable medical device.
- Derived device measures are determined to provide derivative physiometry based on the collected device measures.
- Data including a patient status indicator determined from the collected and derived device measures in conjunction with the treatment profile or medical history is quantified.
- the present invention facilitates the gathering, storage, and analysis of critical patient information obtained on a routine basis and analyzed in an automated manner.
- the burden on physicians and trained personnel to evaluate the volumes of information is significantly minimized while the benefits to patients are greatly enhanced.

- Three patient care records are shown for Patient 1 , Patient 2 , and Patient 3 .
- For each patient three sets of measures are shown, X, Y, and Z.
- measures representing the same type of patient information such as measure X
- peer measures These are measures, which are monitored over time in a disease-matched peer group.
- measures X, Y,and Z are sibling measures. These are measures which are also measured over time, but which might have medically significant meaning when compared to each other within a single set.
- measures X, Y, and Z could be either collected or derived measures.
- the analysis module 53 (shown in FIG. 4 ) performs two basic forms of comparison. First, individual measures for a given patient can be compared to other individual measures for that same patient. These comparisons might be peer-to-peer measures projected over time, for instance, X n , X n ⁇ 1 ,X n ⁇ 2 , . . .
- X 0 sibling-to-sibling measures for a single snapshot, for instance, X n ,Y n , and Z n , or projected over time, for instance, X n , Y n , Z n , X n ⁇ 1 , Y n ⁇ 1 , Z n ⁇ 1 , X n ⁇ 2 , Y n ⁇ 2 , Z n ⁇ 2 , . . . X 0 , Y 0 , Z 0 .
- individual measures for a given patient can be compared to other individual measures for a group of other patients sharing the same disease-specific characteristics or to the patient population in general.
- these comparisons might be peer-to-peer measures projected over time, for instance, X n , X n′ , X n′′ , X n ⁇ 1′ , X n ⁇ 1′ , X n ⁇ 1′′ , X n ⁇ 2 , X n ⁇ 2′ , X n ⁇ 2′′ . . . X 0 , X 0′ , X 0′′ , or comparing the individual patient's measures to an average from the group.
- these comparisons might be sibling-to-sibling measures for single snapshots, for instance, X n′ , X n′ , X n′′ , Y n , Y n′ , Y n′′ , and Z n , Z n′ , Z n′′ , or projected over time, for instance, X n , X n′ , X n′′ , Y n , Y n′ , Y n′′ , Z n , Z n′ , Z n′′ , X n ⁇ 1 , X n ⁇ 1′ , X n ⁇ 1′′ , Y n ⁇ 1 , Y n ⁇ 1′ , Y n ⁇ 1′′ , Z n ⁇ 1 , Z n ⁇ 1′ , Z n ⁇ 1′′ , X n ⁇ 2 , X n ⁇ 2′ , X n ⁇ 2′′ , Y n ⁇ 1′′

- the purpose of this routine is to make a determination of general patient wellness based on comparisons and heuristic trends analyses of the measures, both collected and derived, in the patient care records in the database 17 .
- a first collected measures set is selected from a patient care record in the database 17 (block 100 ). If the measures comparison is to be made to other measures originating from the patient care record for the same individual patient (block 101 ), a second collected measures set is selected from that patient care record (block 102 ).

Device measures are collected to provide raw physiometry for the patient regularly recorded by an implantable medical device. Derived device measures to provide derivative physiometry based on the collected device measures are determined. Data including a patient status indicator determined from the collected and derived device measures in conjunction with the treatment profile or medical history is quantified.
Description
- This patent application is a continuation of U.S. patent application, Ser. No. 11/540,251, filed Sep. 29, 2006, pending, which is a divisional of U.S. Pat. No. 7,144,369, issued Dec. 5, 2006, which is a continuation of U.S. Pat. No. 6,312,378, issued Nov. 6, 2001, the priority filing dates of which are claimed and the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference.
- The present invention relates in general to automated data collection and analysis, and, in particular, to a system and method for providing collection and analysis of patient information for use in automated patient care.
- Implantable pulse generators (IPGs) are medical devices commonly used to treat irregular heartbeats, known as arrhythmias. There are two basic types. Cardiac pacemakers are used to manage bradycardia, an abnormally slow or irregular heartbeat. Left untreated, bradycardia can cause symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and fainting. Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are used to treat tachycardia, heart rhythms that are abnormally fast and life threatening. Tachycardia can result in sudden cardiac death (SCD).
- Pacemakers and ICDs are increasingly being equipped with an on-board, volatile memory in which telemetered signals can be stored for later retrieval and analysis. Typically, the telemetered signals provide patient device information regarding atrial electrical activity, ventricular electrical activity, time of day, activity level, cardiac output, oxygen level, cardiovascular pressure measures, pulmonary measures, and any interventions made on a per heartbeat or binned average basis. In addition, a growing class of cardiac medical devices, including implantable heart failure monitors, implantable event monitors, cardiovascular monitors, and therapy devices, are being used to provide similar stored device information. These devices are able to store approximately thirty minutes of per heartbeat data. Telemetered signals are also stored in a broader class of monitors and therapeutic devices for other areas of medicine, including metabolism, endocrinology, hematology, neurology, muscular, gastrointestinal, genital-urology ocular, auditory, and the like.
- Presently, stored device information is retrieved using a proprietary interrogator or programmer, often during a clinic visit or following a device event. The volume of data retrieved from a single device interrogation “snapshot” can be large and proper interpretation and analysis can require significant physician time and detailed subspecialty knowledge, particularly by cardiologists and cardiac electrophysiologists. The sequential logging and analysis of regularly scheduled interrogations can create an opportunity for recognizing subtle and incremental changes in patient condition otherwise undetectable by inspection of a single “snapshot.” However, present approaches to data interpretation and understanding and practical limitations on time and physician availability make such analysis impracticable.
- A prior art system for collecting and analyzing pacemaker and ICD telemetered signals in a clinical or office setting is the Model 9790 Programmer, manufactured by Medtronic, Inc., Minneapolis, Minn. This programmer can be used to retrieve data, such as patient electrocardiogram and any measured physiological conditions, collected by the IPG for recordation, display and printing. The retrieved data is displayed in chronological order and analyzed by a physician. Comparable prior art systems are available from other IPG manufacturers, such as the Model 2901 Programmer Recorder Monitor, manufactured by Guidant Corporation, Indianapolis, Ind. which includes a removable floppy diskette mechanism for patient data storage. These prior art systems lack remote communications facilities and must be operated with the patient present. These systems present a limited analysis of the collected data based on a single device interrogation and lack the capability to recognize trends in the data spanning multiple episodes over time or relative to a disease specific peer group.
- A prior art system for locating and communicating with a remote medical device implanted in an ambulatory patient is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,752,976 ('976). The implanted device includes a telemetry transceiver for communicating data and operating instructions between the implanted device and an external patient communications device. The communications device includes a communication link to a remote medical support network, a global positioning satellite receiver, and a patient activated link for permitting patient initiated communication with the medical support network.
- Related prior art systems for remotely communicating with and receiving telemetered signals from a medical device are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,113,869 ('869) and 5,336,245 ('245). In the '869 patent, an implanted AECG monitor can be automatically interrogated at preset times of day to telemeter out accumulated data to a telephonic communicator or a full disclosure recorder. The communicator can be automatically triggered to establish a telephonic communication link and transmit the accumulated data to an office or clinic through a modem. In the '245 patent, telemetered data is downloaded to a larger capacity, external data recorder and is forwarded to a clinic using an auto-dialer and fax modem operating in a personal computer-based programmer/interrogator. However, the '976 telemetry transceiver, '869 communicator, and '245 programmer/interrogator are limited to facilitating communication and transferal of downloaded patient data and do not include an ability to automatically track, recognize, and analyze trends in the data itself.
- Thus, there is a need for a system and method for providing continuous retrieval, transferal, and automated analysis of retrieved implantable medical device information, such as telemetered signals, retrieved in general from a broad class of implantable medical devices and, in particular, from IPGs and cardiovascular monitors. Preferably, the automated analysis would include recognizing a trend and determining whether medical intervention is necessary.
- There is a further need for a system and method that would allow consideration of sets of collected measures, both actual and derived, from multiple device interrogations. These collected measures sets could then be compared and analyzed against short and long term periods of observation.
- There is a further need for a system and method that would enable the measures sets for an individual patient to be self-referenced and cross-referenced to similar or dissimilar patients and to the general patient population. Preferably, the historical collected measures sets of an individual patient could be compared and analyzed against those of other patients in general or of a disease specific peer group in particular.
- The present invention provides a system and method for analyzing data during automated patient management. The patient device information relates to individual measures recorded by and retrieved from implantable medical devices, such as IPGs and monitors. The patient device information is received on a regular, e.g., daily, basis as sets of collected measures, which are stored along with other patient records in a database. The information can be analyzed in an automated fashion and feedback provided to the patient at any time and in any location.
- An embodiment is a system and method for analyzing data during automated patient management. A patient enrolled under automated patient management is identified with information including at least one of treatment profile and medical history. Device measures are collected to provide raw physiometry for the patient regularly recorded by an implantable medical device. Derived device measures are determined to provide derivative physiometry based on the collected device measures. Data including a patient status indicator determined from the collected and derived device measures in conjunction with the treatment profile or medical history is quantified.
- The present invention facilitates the gathering, storage, and analysis of critical patient information obtained on a routine basis and analyzed in an automated manner. Thus, the burden on physicians and trained personnel to evaluate the volumes of information is significantly minimized while the benefits to patients are greatly enhanced.
- Still other embodiments of the present invention will become readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description, wherein is described embodiments of the invention by way of illustrating the best mode contemplated for carrying out the invention. As will be realized, the invention is capable of other and different embodiments and its several details are capable of modifications in various obvious respects, all without departing from the spirit and the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the drawings and detailed description are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not as restrictive.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing asystem 10 for providing collection and analysis of patient information for use in automated patient care in accordance with the present invention. Apatient 11 is a recipient of an implantablemedical device 12, such as, by way of example, an IPG or a heart failure or event monitor, with a set of leads extending into his or her heart. The implantablemedical device 12 includes circuitry for recording into a short-term, volatile memory telemetered signals, which are stored as a set of collected measures for later retrieval. - For an exemplary cardiac implantable medical device, the telemetered signals non-exclusively present patient information relating to: atrial electrical activity, ventricular electrical activity, time of day, activity level, cardiac output, oxygen level, cardiovascular pressure measures, the number and types of interventions made, and the relative success of any interventions made on a per heartbeat or binned average basis, plus the status of the batteries and programmed settings. Examples of pacemakers suitable for use in the present invention include the Discovery line of pacemakers, manufactured by Guidant Corporation, Indianapolis, Ind. Examples of ICDs suitable for use in the present invention include the Ventak line of ICDs, also manufactured by Guidant Corporation, Indianapolis, Ind.
- In the described embodiment, the
patient 11 has a cardiac implantable medical device. However, a wide range of related implantable medical devices are used in other areas of medicine and a growing number of these devices are also capable of measuring and recording patient information for later retrieval. These implantable medical devices include monitoring and therapeutic devices for use in metabolism, endocrinology, hematology, neurology, muscularology, gastro-intestinalogy, genital-urology, ocular, auditory, and similar medical subspecialties. One skilled in the art would readily recognize the applicability of the present invention to these related implantable medical devices. - On a regular basis, the telemetered signals stored in the implantable
medical device 12 are retrieved. By way of example, aprogrammer 14 can be used to retrieve the telemetered signals. However, any form of programmer, interrogator, recorder, monitor, or telemetered signals transceiver suitable for communicating with an implantablemedical device 12 could be used, as is known in the art. In addition, a personal computer or digital data processor could be interfaced to the implantablemedical device 12, either directly or via a telemetered signals transceiver configured to communicate with the implantablemedical device 12. - Using the
programmer 14, a magnetized reed switch (not shown) within the implantablemedical device 12 closes in response to the placement of awand 13 over the location of the implantablemedical device 12. Theprogrammer 14 communicates with the implantablemedical device 12 via RF signals exchanged through thewand 14. Programming or interrogating instructions are sent to the implantablemedical device 12 and the stored telemetered signals are downloaded into theprogrammer 14. Once downloaded, the telemetered signals are sent via aninternetwork 15, such as the Internet, to aserver system 16 which periodically receives and stores the telemetered signals in adatabase 17, as further described below with reference toFIG. 2 . - An example of a
programmer 14 suitable for use in the present invention is the Model 2901 Programmer Recorder Monitor, manufactured by Guidant Corporation, Indianapolis, Ind., which includes the capability to store retrieved telemetered signals on a proprietary removable floppy diskette. The telemetered signals could later be electronically transferred using a personal computer or similar processing device to theinternetwork 15, as is known in the art. - Other alternate telemetered signals transfer means could also be employed. For instance, the stored telemetered signals could be retrieved from the implantable
medical device 12 and electronically transferred to theinternetwork 15 using the combination of a remote external programmer and analyzer and a remote telephonic communicator, such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,113,869, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Similarly, the stored telemetered signals could be retrieved and remotely downloaded to theserver system 16 using a world-wide patient location and data telemetry system, such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,752,976, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. - The received telemetered signals are analyzed by the
server system 16, which generates a patient status indicator. The feedback is then provided back to the patient 11 through a variety of means. By way of example, the feedback can be sent as an electronic mail message generated automatically by theserver system 16 for transmission over theinternetwork 15. The electronic mail message is received by personal computer 18 (PC) situated for local access by thepatient 11. Alternatively, the feedback can be sent through atelephone interface device 19 as an automated voice mail message to atelephone 21 or as an automated facsimile message to afacsimile machine 22, both also situated for local access by thepatient 11. In addition to apersonal computer 18,telephone 21, andfacsimile machine 22, feedback could be sent to other related devices, including a network computer, wireless computer, personal data assistant, television, or digital data processor. Preferably, the feedback is provided in a tiered fashion, as further described below with reference toFIG. 3 . -
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware components of theserver system 16 of thesystem 10 ofFIG. 1 . Theserver system 16 consists of three individual servers:network server 31,database server 34, andapplication server 35. These servers are interconnected via anintranetwork 33. In the described embodiment, the functionality of theserver system 16 is distributed among these three servers for efficiency and processing speed, although the functionality could also be performed by a single server or cluster of servers. Thenetwork server 31 is the primary interface of theserver system 16 onto theinternetwork 15. Thenetwork server 31 periodically receives the collected telemetered signals sent by remote implantable medical devices over theinternetwork 15. Thenetwork server 31 is interfaced to theinternetwork 15 through arouter 32. To ensure reliable data exchange, thenetwork server 31 implements a TCP/IP protocol stack, although other forms of network protocol stacks are suitable. - The
database server 34 organizes the patient care records in thedatabase 17 and provides storage of and access to information held in those records. A high volume of data in the form of collected measures sets from individual patients is received. Thedatabase server 34 frees thenetwork server 31 from having to categorize and store the individual collected measures sets in the appropriate patient care record. - The
application server 35 operates management applications and performs data analysis of the patient care records, as further described below with reference toFIG. 3 . Theapplication server 35 communicates feedback to the individual patients either through electronic mail sent back over theinternetwork 15 via thenetwork server 31 or as automated voice mail or facsimile messages through thetelephone interface device 19. - The
server system 16 also includes a plurality of individual workstations 36 (WS) interconnected to theintranetwork 33, some of which can include peripheral devices, such as aprinter 37. Theworkstations 36 are for use by the data management and programming staff, nursing staff, office staff, and other consultants and authorized personnel. - The
database 17 consists of a high-capacity storage medium configured to store individual patient care records and related health care information. Preferably, thedatabase 17 is configured as a set of high-speed, high capacity hard drives, such as organized into a Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks (RAID) volume. However, any form of volatile storage, non-volatile storage, removable storage, fixed storage, random access storage, sequential access storage, permanent storage, erasable storage, and the like would be equally suitable. The organization of thedatabase 17 is further described below with reference toFIG. 3 . - The individual servers and workstations are general purpose, programmed digital computing devices consisting of a central processing unit (CPU), random access memory (RAM), non-volatile secondary storage, such as a hard drive or CD ROM drive, network interfaces, and peripheral devices, including user interfacing means, such as a keyboard and display. Program code, including software programs, and data are loaded into the RAM for execution and processing by the CPU and results are generated for display, output, transmittal, or storage. In the described embodiment, the individual servers are Intel Pentium-based server systems, such as available from Dell Computers, Austin, Tex. or Compaq Computers, Houston, Tex. Each system is preferably equipped with 128 MB RAM, 100 GB hard drive capacity, data backup facilities, and related hardware for interconnection to the
intranetwork 33 andinternetwork 15. In addition, theworkstations 36 are also Intel Pentium-based personal computer or workstation systems, also available from Dell Computers, Austin, Tex. or Compaq Computers, Houston, Tex. Each workstation is preferably equipped with 64 MB RAM, 10 GB hard drive capacity, and related hardware for interconnection to theintranetwork 33. Other types of server and workstation systems, including personal computers, minicomputers, mainframe computers, supercomputers, parallel computers, workstations, digital data processors and the like would be equally suitable, as is known in the art. - The telemetered signals are communicated over an
internetwork 15, such as the Internet. However, any type of electronic communications link could be used, including an intranetwork link, serial link, data telephone link, satellite link, radio-frequency link, infrared link, fiber optic link, coaxial cable link, television link, and the like, as is known in the art. Also, thenetwork server 31 is interfaced to theinternetwork 15 using a T-1network router 32, such as manufactured by Cisco Systems, Inc., San Jose, Calif. However, any type of interfacing device suitable for interconnecting a server to a network could be used, including a data modem, cable modem, network interface, serial connection, data port, hub, frame relay, digital PBX, and the like, as is known in the art. -
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the software modules of theserver system 16 of thesystem 10 ofFIG. 1 . Each module is a computer program written as source code in a conventional programming language, such as the C or Java programming languages, and is presented for execution by the CPU as object or byte code, as is known in the arts. The various implementations of the source code and object and byte codes can be held on a computer-readable storage medium or embodied on a transmission medium in a carrier wave. There are three basic software modules, which functionally define the primary operations performed by the server system 16:database module 51,analysis module 53, and feedback module 55. In the described embodiment, these modules are executed in a distributed computing environment, although a single server or a cluster of servers could also perform the functionality of the modules. The module functions are further described below in more detail beginning with reference toFIG. 7 . - For each patient being provided remote patient care, the
server system 16 periodically receives a collected measures set 50 which is forwarded to thedatabase module 51 for processing. Thedatabase module 51 organizes the individual patient care records stored in thedatabase 52 and provides the facilities for efficiently storing and accessing the collected measures sets 50 and patient data maintained in those records. An exemplary database schema for use in storing collected measures sets 50 in a patient care record is described below, by way of example, with reference toFIG. 5 . The database server 34 (shown inFIG. 2 ) performs the functionality of thedatabase module 51. Any type of database organization could be utilized, including a flat file system, hierarchical database, relational database, or distributed database, such as provided by database vendors, such as Oracle Corporation, Redwood Shores, Calif. - The
analysis module 53 analyzes the collected measures sets 50 stored in the patient care records in thedatabase 52. Theanalysis module 53 makes an automated determination of patient wellness in the form of apatient status indicator 54. Collected measures sets 50 are periodically received from implantable medical devices and maintained by thedatabase module 51 in thedatabase 52. Through the use of this collected information, theanalysis module 53 can continuously follow the medical well being of a patient and can recognize any trends in the collected information that might warrant medical intervention. Theanalysis module 53 compares individual measures and-derived measures obtained from both the care records for the individual patient and the care records for a disease specific group of patients or the patient population in general. The analytic operations performed by theanalysis module 53 are further described below with reference toFIG. 4 . The application server 35 (shown inFIG. 2 ) performs the functionality of theanalysis module 53. - The feedback module 55 provides automated feedback to the individual patient based, in part, on the
patient status indicator 54. As described above, the feedback could be by electronic mail or by automated voice mail or facsimile. Preferably, the feedback is provided in a tiered manner. In the described embodiment, four levels of automated feedback are provided. At a first level, an interpretation of thepatient status indicator 54 is provided. At a second level, a notification of potential medical concern based on thepatient status indicator 54 is provided. This feedback level could also be coupled with human contact by specially trained technicians or medical personnel. At a third level, the notification of potential medical concern is forwarded to medical practitioners located in the patient's geographic area. Finally, at a fourth level, a set of reprogramming instructions based on thepatient status indicator 54 could be transmitted directly to the implantable medical device to modify the programming instructions contained therein. As is customary in the medical arts, the basic tiered feedback scheme would be modified in the event of bona fide medical emergency. The application server 35 (shown inFIG. 2 ) performs the functionality of the feedback module 55. -
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing theanalysis module 53 of theserver system 16 ofFIG. 3 . Theanalysis module 53 contains two functional submodules:comparison module 62 andderivation module 63. The purpose of thecomparison module 62 is to compare two or more individual measures, either collected or derived. The purpose of thederivation module 63 is to determine a derived measure based on one or more collected measures which is then used by thecomparison module 62. For instance, a new and improved indicator of impending heart failure could be derived based on the exemplary cardiac collected measures set described with reference toFIG. 5 . Theanalysis module 53 can operate either in a batch mode of operation wherein patient status indicators are generated for a set of individual patients or in a dynamic mode wherein a patient status indicator is generated on the fly for an individual patient. - The
comparison module 62 receives as inputs from thedatabase 17 two input sets functionally defined as peer collected measures sets 60 and sibling collected measures sets 61, although in practice, the collected measures sets are stored on a per sampling basis. Peer collected measures sets 60 contain individual collected measures sets that all relate to the same type of patient information, for instance, atrial electrical activity, but which have been periodically collected over time. Sibling collected measures sets 61 contain individual collected measures sets that relate to different types of patient information, but which may have been collected at the same time or different times. In practice, the collected measures sets are not separately stored as “peer” and “sibling” measures. Rather, each individual patient care record stores multiple sets of sibling collected measures. The distinction between peer collected measures sets 60 and sibling collected measures sets 61 is further described below with reference toFIG. 6 . - The
derivation module 63 determines derived measures sets 64 on an as needed basis in response to requests from thecomparison module 62. The derived measures 64 are determined by performing linear and non-linear mathematical operations on selectedpeer measures 60 and sibling measures 61, as is known in the art. -
FIG. 5 is a database schema showing, by way of example, the organization of a cardiac patient care record stored 70 in thedatabase 17 of thesystem 10 ofFIG. 1 . Only the information pertaining to collected measures sets are shown. Each patient care record would also contain normal identifying and treatment profile information, as well as medical history and other pertinent data (not shown). Each patient care record stores a multitude of collected measures sets for an individual patient. Each individual set represents a recorded snapshot of telemetered signals data which was recorded, for instance, per heartbeat or binned average basis by the implantablemedical device 12. For example, for a cardiac patient, the following information would be recorded as a collected measures set: atrialelectrical activity 71, ventricularelectrical activity 72, time ofday 73,activity level 74,cardiac output 75,oxygen level 76, cardiovascular pressure measures 77,pulmonary measures 78, interventions made by the implantablemedical device 78, and the relative success of any interventions made 80. In addition, the implantablemedical device 12 would also communicate device specific information, includingbattery status 81 andprogram settings 82. Other types of collected measures are possible. In addition, a well-documented set of derived measures can be determined based on the collected measures, as is known in the art. -
FIG. 6 is a record view showing, by way of example, a set of partial cardiac patient care records stored in thedatabase 17 of thesystem 10 ofFIG. 1 . Three patient care records are shown forPatient 1,Patient 2, andPatient 3. For each patient, three sets of measures are shown, X, Y, and Z. The measures are organized into sets withSet 0 representing sibling measures made at a reference time t=0. Similarly, Set n−2, Set n−1 and Set n each represent sibling measures made at later reference times t=n−2, t=n−1 and t=n, respectively. - For a given patient, for instance,
Patient 1, all measures representing the same type of patient information, such as measure X, are peer measures. These are measures, which are monitored over time in a disease-matched peer group. All measures representing different types of patient information, such as measures X, Y,and Z, are sibling measures. These are measures which are also measured over time, but which might have medically significant meaning when compared to each other within a single set. Each of the measures, X, Y, and Z, could be either collected or derived measures. - The analysis module 53 (shown in
FIG. 4 ) performs two basic forms of comparison. First, individual measures for a given patient can be compared to other individual measures for that same patient. These comparisons might be peer-to-peer measures projected over time, for instance, Xn, Xn−1,Xn−2, . . . X0, or sibling-to-sibling measures for a single snapshot, for instance, Xn,Yn, and Zn, or projected over time, for instance, Xn, Yn, Zn, Xn−1, Yn−1, Zn−1, Xn−2, Yn−2, Zn−2, . . . X0, Y0, Z0. Second, individual measures for a given patient can be compared to other individual measures for a group of other patients sharing the same disease-specific characteristics or to the patient population in general. Again, these comparisons might be peer-to-peer measures projected over time, for instance, Xn, Xn′, Xn″, Xn−1′, Xn−1′, Xn−1″, Xn−2, Xn−2′, Xn−2″ . . . X0, X0′, X0″, or comparing the individual patient's measures to an average from the group. Similarly, these comparisons might be sibling-to-sibling measures for single snapshots, for instance, Xn′, Xn′, Xn″, Yn, Yn′, Yn″, and Zn, Zn′, Zn″, or projected over time, for instance, Xn, Xn′, Xn″, Yn, Yn′, Yn″, Zn, Zn′, Zn″, Xn−1, Xn−1′, Xn−1″, Yn−1, Yn−1′, Yn−1″, Zn−1, Zn−1′, Zn−1″, Xn−2, Xn−2′, Xn−2″, Yn−2, Yn−2′, Yn−2″, Zn−2, Zn−2′, Zn−2″, . . . X0, X0′, X0″, Y0, Y0′, Y0″, and Z0, Z0′, Z0″. Other forms of comparisons are feasible. -
FIG. 7 is a flow diagram showing amethod 90 for automated collection and analysis of patient information retrieved from an implantablemedical device 12 for remote patient care in accordance with the present invention. Themethod 90 is implemented as a conventional computer program for execution by the server system 16 (shown inFIG. 1 ). As a preparatory step, the patient care records are organized in thedatabase 17 with a unique patient care record assigned to each individual patient (block 91). Next, the collected measures sets for an individual patient are retrieved from the implantable medical device 12 (block 92) using a programmer, interrogator, telemetered signals transceiver, and the like. The retrieved collected measures sets are sent, on a substantially regular basis, over theinternetwork 15 or similar communications link (block 93) and periodically received by the server system 16 (block 94). The collected measures sets are stored into the patient care record in thedatabase 17 for that individual patient (block 95). One or more of the collected measures sets for that patient are analyzed (block 96), as further described below with reference toFIG. 8 . Finally, feedback based on the analysis is sent to that patient over theinternetwork 15 as an email message, via telephone line as an automated voice mail or facsimile message, or by similar feedback communications link (block 97), as further described below with reference toFIG. 11 . -
FIG. 8 is a flow diagram showing the routine for analyzing collected measures sets 96 for use in the method ofFIG. 7 . The purpose of this routine is to make a determination of general patient wellness based on comparisons and heuristic trends analyses of the measures, both collected and derived, in the patient care records in thedatabase 17. A first collected measures set is selected from a patient care record in the database 17 (block 100). If the measures comparison is to be made to other measures originating from the patient care record for the same individual patient (block 101), a second collected measures set is selected from that patient care record (block 102). Otherwise, a group measures comparison is being made (block 101) and a second collected measures set is selected from another patient care record in the database 17 (block 103). Note the second collected measures set could also contain averaged measures for a group of disease specific patients or for the patient population in general. - Next, if a sibling measures comparison is to be made (block 104), a routine for comparing sibling collected measures sets is performed (block 105), as further described below with reference to
FIG. 9 . Similarly, if a peer measures comparison is to be made (block 106), a routine for comparing sibling collected measures sets is performed (block 107), as further described below with reference toFIGS. 10A and 10B . - Finally, a patient status indicator is generated (block 108). By way of example, cardiac output could ordinarily be approximately 5.0 liters per minute with a standard deviation of ±1.0. An actionable medical phenomenon could occur when the cardiac output of a patient is ±3.0-4.0 standard deviations out of the norm. A comparison of the cardiac output measures 75 (shown in
FIG. 5 ) for an individual patient against previous cardiac output measures 75 would establish the presence of any type of downward health trend as to the particular patient. A comparison of the cardiac output measures 75 of the particular patient to the cardiac output measures 75 of a group of patients would establish whether the patient is trending out of the norm. From this type of analysis, theanalysis module 53 generates apatient status indicator 54 and other metrics of patient wellness, as is known in the art. -
FIG. 9 is a flow diagram showing the routine for comparing sibling collected measures sets 105 for use in the routine ofFIG. 8 . Sibling measures originate from the patient care records for an individual patient. The purpose of this routine is either to compare sibling derived measures to sibling derived measures (blocks 111-113) or sibling collected measures to sibling collected measures (blocks 115-117). Thus, if derived measures are being compared (block 110), measures are selected from each collected measures set (block 111). First and second derived measures are derived from the selected measures (block 112) using the derivation module 63 (shown inFIG. 4 ). The first and second derived measures are then compared (block 113) using the comparison module 62 (also shown inFIG. 4 ). The steps of selecting, determining, and comparing (blocks 111-113) are repeated until no further comparisons are required (block 114), whereupon the routine returns. - If collected measures are being compared (block 110), measures are selected from each collected measures set (block 115). The first and second collected measures are then compared (block 116) using the comparison module 62 (also shown in
FIG. 4 ). The steps of selecting and comparing (blocks 115-116) are repeated until no further comparisons are required (block 117), whereupon the routine returns. -
FIGS. 10A and 10B are a flow diagram showing the routine for comparing peer collected measures sets 107 for use in the routine ofFIG. 8 . Peer measures originate from patient care records for different patients, including groups of disease specific patients or the patient population in general. The purpose of this routine is to compare peer derived measures to peer derived measures (blocks 122-125), peer derived measures to peer collected measures (blocks 126-129), peer collected measures to peer derived measures (block 131-134) or peer collected measures to peer collected measures (blocks 135-137). Thus, if the first measure being compared is a derived measure (block 120) and the second measure being compared is also a derived measure (block 121), measures are selected from each collected measures set (block 122). First and second derived measures are derived from the selected measures (block 123) using the derivation module 63 (shown inFIG. 4 ). The first and second derived measures are then compared (block 124) using the comparison module 62 (also shown inFIG. 4 ). The steps of selecting, determining, and comparing (blocks 122-124) are repeated until no further comparisons are required (block 115), whereupon the routine returns. - If the first measure being compared is a derived measure (block 120) but the second measure being compared is a collected measure (block 121), a first measure is selected from the first collected measures set (block 126). A first derived measure is derived from the first selected measure (block 127) using the derivation module 63 (shown in
FIG. 4 ). The first derived and second collected measures are then compared (block 128) using the comparison module 62 (also shown inFIG. 4 ). The steps of selecting, determining, and comparing (blocks 126-128) are repeated until no further comparisons are required (block 129), whereupon the routine returns. - If the first measure being compared is a collected measure (block 120) but the second measure being compared is a derived measure (block 130), a second measure is selected from the second collected measures set (block 131). A second derived measure is derived from the second selected measure (block 132) using the derivation module 63 (shown in
FIG. 4 ). The first collected and second derived measures are then compared (block 133) using the comparison module 62 (also shown inFIG. 4 ). The steps of selecting, determining, and comparing (blocks 131-133) are repeated until no further comparisons are required (block 134), whereupon the routine returns. - If the first measure being compared is a collected measure (block 120) and the second measure being compared is also a collected measure (block 130), measures are selected from each collected measures set (block 135). The first and second collected measures are then compared (block 136) using the comparison module 62 (also shown in
FIG. 4 ). The steps of selecting and comparing (blocks 135-136) are repeated until no further comparisons are required (block 137), whereupon the routine returns. -
FIG. 11 is a flow diagram showing the routine for providingfeedback 97 for use in the method ofFIG. 7 . The purpose of this routine is to provide tiered feedback based on the patient status indicator. Four levels of feedback are provided with increasing levels of patient involvement and medical care intervention. At a first level (block 150), an interpretation of thepatient status indicator 54, preferably phrased in lay terminology, and related health care information is sent to the individual patient (block 151) using the feedback module 55 (shown inFIG. 3 ). At a second level (block 152), a notification of potential medical concern, based on the analysis and heuristic trends analysis, is sent to the individual patient (block 153) using the feedback module 55. At a third level (block 154), the notification of potential medical concern is forwarded to the physician responsible for the individual patient or similar health care professionals (block 155) using the feedback module 55. Finally, at a fourth level (block 156), reprogramming instructions are sent to the implantable medical device 12 (block 157) using the feedback module 55. - Therefore, through the use of the collected measures sets, the present invention makes possible immediate access to expert medical care at any time and in any place. For example, after establishing and registering for each patient an appropriate baseline set of measures, the database server could contain a virtually up-to-date patient history, which is available to medical providers for the remote diagnosis and prevention of serious illness regardless of the relative location of the patient or time of day.
- Moreover, the gathering and storage of multiple sets of critical patient information obtained on a routine basis makes possible treatment methodologies based on an algorithmic analysis of the collected data sets. Each successive introduction of a new collected measures set into the database server would help to continually improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the algorithms used. In addition, the present invention potentially enables the detection, prevention, and cure of previously unknown forms of disorders based on a trends analysis and by a cross-referencing approach to create continuously improving peer-group reference databases.
- Finally, the present invention makes possible the provision of tiered patient feedback based on the automated analysis of the collected measures sets. This type of feedback system is suitable for use in, for example, a subscription based health care service. At a basic level, informational feedback can be provided by way of a simple interpretation of the collected data. The feedback could be built up to provide a gradated response to the patient, for example, to notify the patient that he or she is trending into a potential trouble zone. Human interaction could be introduced, both by remotely situated and local medical practitioners. Finally, the feedback could include direct interventive measures, such as remotely reprogramming a patient's IPG.
- While the invention has been particularly shown and described as referenced to the embodiments thereof, those skilled in the art will understand that the foregoing and other changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
