This disclosure is directed to systems and techniques for detecting change in patient health based upon patient data. In one example, a medical system comprising processing circuitry communicably coupled to a glucose sensor and configured to generate continuous glucose sensor measurements of a patient. The processing circuitry is further configured to: extract at least one feature from the continuous glucose sensor measurements over at least one time period, wherein the at least one feature comprises one or more of an amount of time within a pre-determined glucose level range, a number of hypoglycemia events, a number of hyperglycemia events, or one or more statistical metrics corresponding to the continuous glucose sensor measurements; apply a machine learning model to the at least one extracted feature to produce data indicative of a risk of a cardiovascular event; and generate output data based on the risk of the cardiovascular event.

Implantable medical device

A fixation member configured to anchor an implantable medical device within a patient is attached to an implantable medical device by introducing at least a portion of the fixation member in a tube mechanically connected to the medical device, and plastically deforming the tube in order to pinch the fixation member within a hollow space of the tube.

Attachment mechanism for a fixation member of an implantable device

A pressure sensing system provides signals representative of a magnitude of pressure at a selected site. A sensor module includes a first transducer producing a first signal having an associated first response to pressure and strain applied to the sensor module and a second transducer producing a second signal having an associated second response to pressure and strain applied to the sensor module. A calculated pressure, a bending pressure error and a bend-compensated pressure are computed in response to the first signal and the second signal.

Strain compensation for pressure sensors

An implantable medical device housing has an outer surface and an inner surface that defines an interior cavity. A wire is coupled to the housing outer surface. The wire wholly defines an open aperture for receiving a fixation member. The wire includes a first wire end, a second wire end, and an annular loop between the first and second ends. A cover extends over at least the first end and the second end of the wire.

Media-exposed interconnects for transducer modules are disclosed. The transducers may be sensing transducers, actuating transducers, IC-only transducers, or combinations thereof, or other suitable transducers. The transducers may be used in connection with implantable medical devices and may be exposed to various media, such as body fluids. The media-exposed interconnects for transducer modules may allow transducers to communicate electrically with other components, such as implantable medical devices.

Media-exposed interconnects for transducers

An implantable sensor module and medical device includes a housing having an inner shell having a thickness extending between an inner wall and an outer wall and an outer layer, wherein the inner shell and the outer layer form a substantially flat portion. A shoulder extends adjacent to a diaphragm to extend the outer layer laterally away from a central medial line extending between edges of the diaphragm. A recess portion is formed between the diaphragm and an inner side of the outer layer, and an over-fill channel is formed by the outer layer extending through the outer layer from an opening formed at the outer wall to an opening formed along the inner side of the outer layer extending along the substantially flat portion.

Sensor over-mold shape

An implantable medical device (IMD) includes an electrode that forms a first snap-fit attachment area and an insulator that forms a through-hole, a second snap-fit attachment area and a third snap-fit attachment area. The second snap-fit attachment area mates with the first snap-fit attachment area of the electrode. The IMD further includes a body including an elongated conductive housing and a feedthrough wire extending therefrom. The body forms a fourth snap-fit attachment area on one end that mates with the third snap-fit attachment area of the insulator such that the feedthrough wire extends through the through-hole of the insulator. The housing encloses at least one of a battery, a sensor, and an electronic circuit. The insulator functions to electrically isolate the electrode from the housing of the body.

Medical device fixation attachment mechanism

An implantable sensor module includes a housing having an inner shell and an outer layer formed to extend over and enclose the inner shell to form an outer wall of the housing, the inner shell having a thickness extending between an inner wall of the inner shell and an outer wall of the inner shell, the outer layer having an inner side engaged against the outer wall of the inner shell and having a thickness extending between the inner side and the outer wall of the housing, wherein the inner shell and the outer layer form a substantially flat portion. A flexible diaphragm is formed within the inner shell and extends between a first edge and a second edge, and a shoulder extends adjacent to the first edge to extend the outer layer laterally away from a central medial line extending between the first and second edges of the diaphragm.

An implantable medical device having a flexible diaphragm is provided with a housing including a shell and an outer layer. The flexible diaphragm extends along the shell. The outer layer has an outer surface and an inner surface. An adhesive coating is applied between the diaphragm and the inner surface of the outer layer. The outer layer includes a recess along the diaphragm for receiving the adhesive.
