- The present system relates generally to a Patient Management System and particularly, but not by way of limitation, to such a system that can determine patient health, relative well-being and predictive degradation by using the sensing functions of an implantable medical device and analyzing the sensed patient data to predict patient health.
- Implantable medical devices are becoming increasingly versatile and able to perform many different physiological sensing functions that enable a clinician to quickly and accurately assess patient health. Traditionally, an accurate assessment of patient health required the clinician to synthesize often divergent or seemingly unrelated indications of patient health. For example, a diagnosis of congestive heart failure might include not only an assessment and evaluation of cardiac function data, but also an evaluation of other physiological factors like patient fatigue or respiration data.

For example, non-derived biometric information may comprise the quantified measurement of a patient's heart rate or blood pressure. In contrast, derived data is biometric information that has been analyzed and perhaps assigned some qualitative or quantitative value. For example, as a medical device senses a patient's cardiac cycle and clinically analyzes that information, the medical device may report that an arrhythmia has occurred as the result of sensing and analyzing a cardiac rhythm outside expected parameters. Other derived sensors may include, the cumulative calories burned by daily activity, a weight loss monitor, a participation in activities monitor, a depression monitor or determining the onset of cancer, all of which may be ascertained by sensing physiological data and analyzing that data by using clinically derived algorithms or other analytical tools.

In measuring respiration, the spacing or distance is situated in such a way that the distance crosses over either a person's left or right lung. Thus, when the geometry changes, the resistance also changes. In the context of breathing, the periodicity of the resistance also can serve as an indication of the relative depth or shallowness of breathing. In other words, a transthoracic impedance sensor can determine the symmetrical relationship between inhalation and exhalation. The symmetry of inhalation to exhalation can establish a pattern of respiration that may have clinical meaning, like determining asthma, apnea or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”). Within the context of detecting an asthma attack, a symmetrical breathing pattern recognized by a transthoracic impedance monitor may comprise the forced expiratory volume over one second (“FEV1”). Modern medical devices that measure transthoracic impedance can be configured to filter out the cardiac component and other impedance noise and concentrate on measuring the breathing component.
- An implantable medical device may also employ a sensor that measures blood glucose levels. In this way, the medical device may predict the need for insulin therapy before the patient or clinician observes acute symptoms of hyperglycemia.
- However, the data sensed by modern implantable medical devices is often presented in a form that merely reduces the data to some numerical or relative value that requires the clinician to further analyze the numerical or relative value output to make a meaningful clinical assessment. In addition, current implantable medical devices frequently are not analytically robust enough to provide meaningful diagnostic assessments or predictions of patient health beyond the mere reporting of physiological data. Merely reporting physiological data can be of limited value due to a person's natural ability to initially compensate for nascent changes in health status. Because of such analytical and perceptual limitations, sensing cardiac activity or transthoracic impedance data through a single implantable medical device may only provide the clinician with a useful starting point for further clinical analysis.
- Thus, for these and other reasons, there is a need for a Patient Management System comprising an implantable medical device further comprising various physiological sensors that sense and report patient data. The system is further adapted to analyze the sensed data in a manner that yields an accurate assessment or prediction of patient health or relative well-being. In this way, the system can be configured to not only report a relative state of patient health and detect early stage disease progression, but also alert the clinician to patient health degradation before the onset of an acute episode or symptomatic illness.
- According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a system and method for predicting patient health and relative well-being within a Patient Management System using an implantable medical device configured with multiple physiological sensors in communication with other components of the system via a communications network.
- The Patient Management System further includes an analytical component contained within the medical device or outside the device or a combination of internal and external analytical components. A non-limiting example of such an analytical component is an externally-based Advanced Patient Management System. As used herein, “physiological function data,” “physiology data,” “patient data” and “patient health data” are substantively synonymous terms and relate to a measurable or relative physiological parameter. In addition to physical parameters like heart rate, respiration and blood chemistry, physiological parameters may include, for example, subjective evaluations of well-being, perceived emotional state and other psychological attributes. Also, as used herein, a “clinician” can be a physician, physician assistant (PA), nurse, medical technologist, or any other patient health care provider.
- In one embodiment of a system for predicting patient health and relative well-being within a patient management system, the system comprises a medical device further comprising a sensing component, an analysis component and a communications component. The sensing component includes one or more base sensors adapted to sense physiological function data. The analysis component is adapted to analyze physiological data sensed by the sensing component and detect subtle, early indications of changes in disease state. The communications component is adapted to communicate sensed and analyzed physiological data to the components of the system.
- In another embodiment of the system for predicting patient health and relative well-being within a patient management system, the medical device comprising sensing, analysis and communications components is implanted within a patient, and the sensing component includes an accelerometer. The accelerometer can be configured to detect a patient's fine and gross body motion, and can be a one-, two- or three-dimensional accelerometer. Example analysis includes detecting changes in measured accelerometer patterns that are indicative of early occurrence of a new disease state or onset of illness or indicate progression of a disease.
- In a further embodiment of the system for predicting patient health and relative well-being within a patient management system, the sensing component of the implantable medical device comprises an accelerometer and a transthoracic impedance sensor. In this embodiment, the implantable medical device is adapted to detect a patient's fine and gross body motion and respiration parameters. Example analysis includes detecting changes in transthoracic impedance variation patterns that are indicative of early occurrence of a new disease state (such as COPD) or onset of illness (such as asthma) or indicate progression of a disease (such as DC impedance indicating lung fluid accumulation which corresponds to progression of heart failure). Further, the sensed data can be used in combination to cross-validate sensed conclusions, such as a change in accelerometer data pattern coincident with inhalation/exhalation time ratio measured by transthoracic impedance to indicate progression of asthma.
- In yet another embodiment of the system for predicting patient health and relative well-being within a patient management system, the sensing component of the implantable medical device comprises an accelerometer, a transthoracic impedance sensor and a cardio-activity sensor. In this embodiment, the implantable medical device is adapted to detect a patient's fine and gross body motion, respiration parameters, and cardiac-activity parameters. Example analysis includes monitoring left and right intracardial R-wave amplitude and either singly reporting changes or correlating changes with changes in accelerometer and transthoracic impedance to form an early and confident indication of onset of pulmonary edema.
- In yet a further embodiment of the system for predicting patient health and relative well-being within a patient management system, the sensing component of the implantable medical device comprises an accelerometer, a transthoracic impedance sensor, and an oxygen saturation sensor. In this embodiment, the implantable medical device is adapted to detect a patient's fine and gross body motion, respiration parameters, cardiac-activity parameters and blood gas data. Example analysis includes combining changes in accelerometer and transthoracic impedance with blood oxygen saturation to form an early and confident indication of onset or progression of pulmonary edema.
- In a preferred embodiment of the system for predicting patient health and relative well-being within a patient management system, the sensing component of the implantable medical device comprises a three-dimensional accelerometer, a transthoracic impedance sensor, a cardio-activity sensor, an oxygen saturation sensor and a blood glucose sensor. In this embodiment, the implantable medical device is adapted to detect a patient's fine and gross body motion, respiration parameters, cardiac-activity parameters, blood gas data and episodes of hyper- and hypoglycemia. Example analysis includes combining changes in accelerometer data, transthoracic impedance, blood oxygen saturation, cardio-activity and blood glucose for an early and confident indication of onset and changes in cardiac and pulmonary disease states.
- By selecting other base sensors, early and confident indications of onset or progression of diseases beyond cardiopulmonary can be made. By way of non-limiting example only, other base sensors might include a cardiac output/ejection fraction sensor; a chamber pressure sensor; a temperature sensor; sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium sensors; a pH sensor; a partial oxygen sensor; a partial CO2 sensor; a cholesterol and triglyceride sensor; a catecholamine sensor; a creatine phosphokinase sensor; a lactate dehydrogenase sensor; a troponin sensor; a prothrombin time sensor; a complete blood count sensor; a blood urea nitrogen sensor; a body weight sensor; a blood (systemic) pressure sensor; a adrenocorticotropic hormone sensor; a thyroid marker sensor; a gastric marker sensor and a creatinine sensor.

The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
- The present system and method are described with respect to an implantable medical device as a component of a Patient Management System capable of predicting patient health and relative well-being by the comprehensively analyzing sensed physiological data.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic/block diagram illustrating generally an embodiment of the system and method for predicting patient health and relative well-being within a
patient management system 100. The system comprises a medical device further comprising asensing component 101, ananalysis component 102 and acommunications component 103. The medical device can be implantable 104 within apatient 105. - The
sensing component 101 includes one or more sensors adapted to sense physiological data. The sensors may comprise an accelerometer, a transthoracic impedance sensor, an oxygen saturation sensor, and a cardio-activity sensor. - The
analysis component 102 is adapted to analyze physiological data sensed by the sensing component. Analysis may be internal and/or external to the patient. Analysis may include the use of clinically derived algorithms to analyze the biometric data in a way that yields a clinically relevant output. The algorithms can be the result of the extraction, codification and use of collected expert knowledge for the analysis or diagnosis of medical conditions. For example, the algorithms can comprise institutional analytical or diagnostic techniques used in specific clinical settings. By reducing the analytical or diagnostic methodologies of institutions like the Cleveland Clinic, the Mayo Clinic or the Kaiser Permanente system to algorithmic expression, a patient will enjoy the benefit of the medical expertise of a leading medical institution without having to visit the institution.

communications component 103 is adapted to communicate sensed and analyzed physiological data to the components of the system, whether the components are internal or external to the patient. - FIG. 2 is a schematic/block diagram illustrating generally an embodiment of the
accelerometer 200 component of the system and method for predicting patient health and relative well-being within a patient management system. Theaccelerometer 200 can be configured to detect a patient's fine and gross body motion. A suitable accelerometer includes a one-dimensional, two-dimensional 200 or three-dimensional accelerometer. Typically, a one-dimensional accelerometer only measures movement along asingle axis 201 as further illustrated in FIG. 2. A two-dimensional accelerometer typically measures movement along twoorthogonal axes 202. A three-dimensional accelerometer measures movement along threeorthogonal axes 203. When the system comprises a three-dimensional accelerometer, the system can determine person's body position with greatest accuracy. Thus, in addition to detecting gross body movement, a sensitive accelerometer may be adapted to detect fine body movement, like a person coughing. When the system is configured to analyze accelerometer data to determine whether a person is coughing, a clinician can utilize that derivative information two assist in determining the onset of a common cold, influenza or the proper dosage of a drug, like an ACE inhibitor, that may cause a coughing side effect when the dosage is too high.

When combined with other measurements of patient health, a patient's oxygen saturation level may provide further evidence of patient health or relative well-being. - FIG. 5 is a schematic/block diagram illustrating generally an embodiment of the cardio-
activity sensor 500 component of the system and method for predicting patient health and relative well-being within a patient management system.

Depending on the nature of the arrhythmia, the cardio-activity sensor 500 may cause therapy to be directed to the patient in the form of a low energy electrical stimuli, i.e., pace pulse, or a defibrillation countershock. The cardio-activity sensor 500 may also be used to signal a clinician that an arrhythmia requires further analysis or medical intervention. The cardio-activity sensor 500 in this embodiment may also assist in predicting stroke by measuring ST-segment changes in an electrocardiogram and conveying that information to theanalysis component 102 to confirm ST-segment elevations or abnormalities. - FIG. 6 is a schematic/block diagram illustrating generally an embodiment of the
blood glucose sensor 600 component of the system and method for predicting patient health and relative well-being within a patient management system. In one embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 6, theblood glucose sensor 600 is a component of an implantablemedical device 301.

APM is designed to support physicians and other clinicians in using a variety of different devices, patient-specific and non-specific data, along with medication therapy, to provide the best possible care to patients. Currently, implanted devices often provide only limited sensing, analysis and therapy to patients. APM moves the device from a reactive mode into a predictive one that allows a clinician to use APM to predict patient health. - FIG. 8 is a flow diagram illustrating generally the interactive functions of the system and method for predicting patient health and relative well-being within a
patient management system 100. As illustrated in FIG. 8, thesensing 800,analysis 701 andcommunications 802 components are interactive, thus allowing the components to communicate and share data.
