- FIG. 1 is an illustration of an implantable medical device system adapted for use in accordance with the present invention.
- the medical device system shown in FIG. 1 includes implantable device 10 - a pacemaker for illustration purposes - that has been implanted in patient 12.
- pacemaker 10 is housed within a hermetically sealed, biologically inert outer casing, which may itself be conductive so as to serve as an indifferent electrode in the pacemaker's pacing/sensing circuit.
- One or more pacemaker leads, collectively identified with reference numeral 14 in FIG. 1 are electrically coupled to pacemaker 10 in a conventional manner and extend into the patient's heart 16 via a vein 18.
- leads 14 Disposed generally near the distal end of leads 14 are one or more exposed conductive electrodes for receiving electrical cardiac signals and/or for delivering electrical pacing stimuli to heart 16. As will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art, leads 14 may be implanted with their distal end(s) situated in the atrium and/or ventricle of heart 16.
- the present invention will be described herein in an embodiment that includes a pacemaker. Those of ordinary skill in the art, however, with the benefit of the present disclosure will appreciate that the present invention may be advantageously practiced in connection with numerous other types of IMDs such as defibrillators, cardioverters, neurostimulators, insertable loop recorders (ILR) such as the Medtronic Reveal, heart failure monitors such as the Medtronic Chronicle, and the like.
- ILR insertable loop recorders
- FIG. 1 is an external patient monitor unit 17 for non-invasive communication with implanted device 10 via an uplink and downlink communication channel 13, to be hereinafter described in further detail. External patient monitor unit 17 is shown incorporated in a refrigerator 15 as one exemplary embodiment and as substantially described in U.S. Patent No.
- patient monitor 17 is additionally connected via an inhome cable 19 and a standard phone line connection 21 to a remote monitor 23 observable via a physician or nurse practitioner 25.
- this remote connection may be via an ISDN line, cable modem, wireless, cellular, fiber optic cable, or the like.
- the in-house connection 19 may alternatively be HomeRF, Bluetooth, 802.11, infrared, WLAN or the like.
- Data transmitted to and from the patient monitor 17 may be encrypted for patient anonymity via methods as described in co-pending application No. 09/821,518, "Variable Encryption Scheme for Data Transfer Between Medical Devices and Related Data Management Systems", filed March 30, 2001.
- FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the electronic circuitry that makes up pulse generator 10 in accordance with the present invention.
- pacemaker 10 comprises a primary stimulation control circuit 32 for controlling the device's pacing and sensing functions.
- the circuitry associated with stimulation control circuit 32 may be of conventional design, in accordance, for example, with what is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No.
- stimulation control circuit 32 in FIG. 2 includes sense amplifier circuitry 34, stimulating pulse output circuitry
- Pacemaker 10 also includes internal communication circuit 44 so that it is capable of communicating with patient monitor device 17.
- pulse generator 10 is coupled to one or more leads 14 which, when implanted, extend transvenously between the implant site of pulse generator 10 and the patient's heart 16, as previously noted with reference to FIG. 1. Physically, the connections between leads 14 and the various internal components of pulse generator 10 are facilitated by means of a conventional connector block assembly 11, shown in FIG. 1.
- the coupling of the conductors of leads and internal electrical components of pulse generator 10 may be facilitated by means of a lead interface circuit 30 which functions, in a multiplexer-like manner, to selectively and dynamically establish necessary connections between various conductors in leads 14, including, for example, atrial tip and ring electrode conductors ATIP and ARING and ventricular tip and ring electrode conductors VTIP and VRJNG, and individual electrical components of pulse generator 10, as would be familiar to those of ordinary skill in the art.
- the specific connections between leads 14 and the various components of pulse generator 10 are not shown in FIG.
- leads 14 will necessarily be coupled, either directly or indirectly, to sense amplifier circuitry 34 and stimulating pulse output circuit 36, in accordance with common practice, such that cardiac electrical signals may be conveyed to sensing circuitry
- stimulation control circuit 32 includes central processing unit
- CPU 38 which may be an off-the-shelf programmable microprocessor or micro controller, but in the present invention is a custom integrated circuit. Although specific connections between CPU 38 and other components of stimulation control circuit 36 are not shown in FIG. 2, it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that CPU 38 functions to control the timed operation of stimulating pulse output circuit 36 and sense amplifier circuit 34 under control of programming stored in RAM/ROM unit 42. It is believed that those of ordinary skill in the art will be familiar with such an operative arrangement.
- crystal oscillator circuit 40 in the preferred embodiment a 32,768-Hz crystal controlled oscillator, provides main timing clock signals to stimulation control circuit 32. Again, the lines over which such clocking signals are provided to the various timed components of pulse generator 10 (e.g., microprocessor 38) are omitted from FIG. 2 for the sake of clarity.
- pulse generator 10 depicted in FIG. 2 are powered by means of a battery (not shown) that is contained within the hermetic enclosure of pacemaker 10, in accordance with common practice in the art.
- a battery not shown
- the battery and the connections between it and the other components of pulse generator 10 are not shown.
- Stimulating pulse output circuit 36 which functions to generate cardiac stimuli under control of signals issued by CPU 38, may be, for example, of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,476,868 to Thompson, entitled “Body Stimulator Output Circuit", which patent is hereby inco ⁇ orated by reference herein in its entirety. Again, however, it is believed that those of ordinary skill in the art could select from among many various types of prior art pacing output circuits that would be suitable for the pu ⁇ oses of practicing the present invention.
- Sense amplifier circuit 34 which is of conventional design, functions to receive electrical cardiac signals from leads 14 and to process such signals to derive event signals reflecting the occurrence of specific cardiac electrical events, including atrial contractions (P-waves) and ventricular contractions (R-waves). Sense amplifier circuit 34 provides these event-indicating signals to CPU 38 for use in controlling the synchronous stimulating operations of pulse generator 10 in accordance with common practice in the art. In addition, these event-indicating signals may be communicated, via uplink transmission 13, to patient monitor device 17 via telemetry coil 45.
- pacemaker 10 may include numerous other components and subsystems, for example, activity sensors and associated circuitry. The presence or absence of such additional components in pacemaker 10, however, is not believed to be pertinent to the present invention, which relates primarily to the implementation and operation of the patient monitoring and consoling device 17, an associated communication system and a remote observation device 23.
- FIG. 3a there is shown a simplified block diagram of communication subsystem 44 from pacemaker 10, in accordance with the present invention.
- Communications subsystem may be, for example, of the type disclosed in U.S.
- Communication subsystem 44 in implantable device 10 includes a receiver 102 and a transmitter 104 each coupled to antenna 45 (Fig. 2) which may be implemented as a multiple-turn wire coil, a stub wire, or a pacing lead.
- Communication subsystem 44 further includes, in one embodiment, error detection circuitry 106, signal strength detection circuitry 108, and noise strength detection circuitry 110.
- error detection circuit 106, signal strength detection circuit 108, and noise strength detection circuit 110 can be called system performance monitoring circuits which function, as that name suggests, to dynamically monitor one or more aspects of communication system 44.
- Error detection circuit 106 for example, may utilize well- known error detection techniques to determine the bit error rate (BER) and the SNR of digital information received by receiver 102.
- BER bit error rate
- Signal strength detector circuit 108 may effectively consist of a logarithmic amplifier that detects and filters the RF signal (or IF signal if downconverted) to provide an RSSI (received signal strength indicator) output that gives a voltage proportional to the logarithm of the signal strength at the receiver's RF input. Detector 108 will only respond to the signal present within the receiver pass band. In this way, the desired signal strength (actually, signal plus noise) can be measured. Likewise, the noise can be measured with the same apparatus under the condition of a known period with no received transmission. In this way the signal-to-noise ratio of the received signal can be measured by a simple comparison of the signal and the noise RSSI samples. This method, as would be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art, would effectively implement circuit 110 as well as 108 in FIG. 3a.
- control circuit 112 in communication subsystem 44 functions to control various aspects of communication operation in device 10, and further functions to cause data to be transmitted to patient monitor and display device 17 (FIG. 1).
- control circuit 112 is coupled to a transmitter power control circuit 114, such that under command of control circuit 112, the power of signals transmitted by transmitter 104 can be adjusted up or down.
- control circuit 112 is coupled to a data rate control circuit 116 that controls the rate at which data is transmitted from transmitter 104.
- Control circuit 112 is also coupled to an antenna pattern (field strength as a function of position) control circuit 118, so that the antenna pattern for reception and transmission of transmitted signals may be dynamically configured during operation of communication subsystem 44 and to receiver circuit 102 so that the bandwidth of the bandpass filter therein may be adjusted.
- antenna pattern field strength as a function of position
- Control circuit 1 12 is responsive to prioritized sets of operational goals to be accomplished in conjunction with each of a plurality of telemetry transmission types, stored in RAM/ROM 42 (FIG. 2).
- processor 38 In response to an identification of the type of telemetry to follow, processor 38 (FIG. 2) instructs control circuit 112 as to operational parameters and through control circuitry 112 monitors the outputs of the performance monitoring circuits 106, 108, 110, 111.
- control circuitry adjusts the various parameter adjustment circuits to achieve the operational goals stored in RAM/ROM 42, in order of their priorities.
- Control circuitry 112 in some cases adjusts the operational parameters associated with transmitter 104 or receiver 102.
- parameter adjustment commands may be formatted by processor 38 for transmission by transmitter 104 to receiver 122 (FIG. 3b), to control corresponding parameter adjustment circuits associated with transmitter 120 (FIG. 3b).
- communication subsystems 44 and patient monitor device 17 are preferably capable of exchanging information with each other, such that IMD 10 can transmit, upon command, its stored data related to operational parameters to patient monitor device 17. For example, if signal strength detector circuit 108 in subsystem 44 determines that the received signal transmitted from transmitter 120 is unacceptably weak, control circuitry 112 can initiate transmission of a command to subsystem 100 instructing transmitter 120 to increase its transmission power.
- the performance goals of the communication system, and the standards or limits imposed upon operational parameters may themselves be adjusted on a dynamic basis. Then, it would be desirable to increase the minimum transmission range to be maintained by the communication system, so that patient monitor device 17 can establish telemetric communication with the patient's implanted device from a longer-than-normal distance, e.g., from bedside or even across the room.
- a telemetry system employing the present invention will include a plurality of performance goals applicable in conjunction with each of a variety of telemetry transmission types.
- the performance goals will include one or more absolute requirements for a transmission to be considered acceptable.
- a maximum error rate will be the highest priority performance goal, with acceptable error rates differing based on the telemetry type.
- the acceptable error rate would typically be lower than for an uplink of stored electrogram data from implanted device 10 to patient monitor device 17.
- the performance goal of second priority may differ between two such telemetry transmission types.
- initial communication between the devices may occur using a telemetry transmission protocol determined to be acceptable for transmission of control signals between the devices, as verified by return transmissions, and that this initial communication will establish the type of telemetry transmission to follow.
- This protocol may also be used in conjunction with adjustments of the performance parameters, as discussed above.
- feedback from the receiver to the transmitter is not required to indicate failure of the telemetry protocol in effect to meet the performance parameters.
- implanted device 10 may simply decrease the transmission rate until the minimum transmission rate is reached and thereafter increase power until either a specified maximum power level is reached or until a return transmission from patient monitor device 17 indicates an acceptable error rate.
- FIG. 3b is an even more simplified block diagram of a communication subsystem 100 associated with patient monitor device 17.
- Communication subsystem 100 is preferably in agreement with communication subsystem 44 in implanted device 10 and as described herein in the above referenced Goedeke '139 patent. For simplicity in Figure 3b, however, only a transmitter 120, receiver 122 and antenna 124 from communication subsystem 100 are represented in FIG. 3b.
- the present invention allows the capture of non-technical, health-related information through various computerized means (Web-based Calendar software, handheld personal digital assistants (such as the Palm Pilot, Visor, cellular phones WAP, access to the Web-site hosting their device information) to be displayed in conjunction with or overlaid upon the uplinked diagnostic information/data from IMD 10.
- diagnostic information/data might include an ECG tracing, stored diagnostic data, pH, arrhythmic events, mean heart rate, mean respiration rate, minute ventilation, or current IMD settings from a pacemaker; or, alternatively, chronic pressure or oxygen signal levels from a heart failure monitor such as the Medtronic Chronicle, among others.
- the heart failure monitor may be as described in U.S. Patent Application No. 09/809,915 "Heart Failure Quick Look Summary for Patient Management Systems" filed March 16, 2001 and inco ⁇ orated herein by reference in its entirety.
- the health related information includes exercise data (type, duration, date, time), sleep schedule, special events (celebratory events, stressful events - weddings, babies, birthdays, parties, etc.) and diet information.
- Food data is automatically linked to calorie, vitamin and mineral data per a physician recommended diet.
- Physical activity levels are linked with additional device information such as EKG, BPM, and blood pressure from interrogation of the implanted device.
- Trends of lifestyle data are analyzed through a graphically displayed calendar view combined with device information allowing the patient and their physician a biofeedback loop to indicate what events in the patient's life trigger physiological responses (nausea, dizziness, rapid heart rate, high BP, weight gain or loss, etc.). Positive events and negative events are monitored for impact and possible lifestyle changes. Capture of exact mental and physical environments at the time of device triggered events are stored so that the physician would have complete information to determine lifestyle influences on device activated responses (see Figure 6 as a representative example).
- This invention additionally uses the concept of automatic Internet ordering of food items via RF UPC labels (in conjunction with Internet based appliances) to provide visual and or verbal feedback to a patient action (i.e., taking drink/food item from refrigerator or pantry, etc), a patient's environment (i.e., temperature, pollen count, humidity, air pollution index, sun (uv index), a patient's activity level (from interrogation of implanted device (i.e., long term activity, short term activity, time of day, etc)), and the patient's physician treatment plan (i.e., weight loss/maintenance, type of food (i.e., low sodium diet), liquid intake, time of day, medicants, etc).

- a patient's environment i.e., temperature, pollen count, humidity, air pollution index, sun (uv index)
- a patient's activity level from interrogation of implanted device (i.e., long term
- the RF UPC code allows the amount of food, the type of food, and the constituents of food (i.e., sodium, calories, vitamin A and C, total fat content, saturated fat, sugar, protein, dietary fiber, carbohydrates, cholesterol, calcium, iron, serving size, etc.) to be monitored and positive/negative feedback and/or consoling provided.
- the above information may be used to positively impact the day to day lifestyle and environment of many types of patients with such maladies as CHF, overweight (obesity), cancer, lupus, cardiac disease, emphysema, and the like.
- FIG. 4 a flow diagram 100 of the present invention is shown.
- the system waits in a loop for automatic data entry from the refrigerator, pantry, medicant delivery system, weight from a scale, blood pressure measurement, exercise data (time, amount of effort, etc. from treadmill, stair climbing, walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, and/or skating) and the like.
- the patient may enter data on their daily activities (exercise, mental state, sleep schedule), any significant medical events (dizziness, nausea, rapid heart rate), medical data (weight, glucose measurement, etc.) and the like at step 106.
- Inputting data may be accomplished via a digitizer pen, tethered to the patient monitor display 17, for example, as disclosed in U.S. Pat.
