In one example, an ambulatory medical device is provided. The ambulatory medical device includes a plurality of subsystems, at least one sensor configured to acquire data descriptive of a patient, a user interface and at least one processor coupled to the at least one sensor and the user interface. The at least one processor is configured to identify subsystem status information descriptive of an operational status of each subsystem of the plurality of subsystems and to provide a device health report for the ambulatory medical device via the user interface, the device health report being based on the operational status of each subsystem.

Patient assurance system and method

An external medical device is provided which is configured to provide a user with access to one or more training modules. The external medical device includes one or more electrodes configured to detect a cardiac activity of a patient, an audio and/or visual output, and a controller coupled to the audio and/or visual output. The controller is configured to: detect at least one of a predetermined event and a device use pattern; and responsive to detecting the at least one of the predetermined event and the device use pattern, provide the patient access to one or more training modules relating to a use or a configuration of the external medical device via the audio and/or visual output. The device can also include a user interface configured to provide access to at least one training module according to a schedule of training modules for the patient.

Training modules for an external medical device

An ambulatory medical device includes a sensor configured to acquire a signal indicative of a physiological condition of a patient, a controller operatively coupled to the sensor and configured to monitor the physiological signal, and to perform a diagnostic test, and a remote access manager operatively coupled to the controller and configured to monitor for a command from a remote system to perform the diagnostic test, and to cause the controller to perform the diagnostic test in response to the command. In the device, the remote access manager may be further configured to transmit data representing an operational status of the ambulatory medical device to the remote system. The operational status of the controller may result from performing the diagnostic test. The remote access manager may be further configured to send the data representing the operational status of the ambulatory medical device in real time or substantially in real time.

Remote access for ambulatory medical device

An external medical device includes monitoring circuitry configured to monitor a cardiac condition of a patient using the external medical device; and a controller configured to: receive at least one of patient input and non-patient user input of a patient's ability; determine a patient interaction mode of the external medical device based on the at least one of the patient input and the non-patient user input; and adapt the patient interaction mode of the external medical device over time based on the at least one of the patient input and the non-patient user input.

Device administered tests and adaptive interactions

A device for graphically reconstructing information received from a medical device is provided. The device comprises an event processor configured to process information received from a medical device by receiving electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings and determining at least one cardiac event based on the ECG recordings, receiving data corresponding to non-cardiac event(s), determining a time of occurrence or a time period associated with the cardiac event(s), determining times of occurrences and time periods associated with the non-cardiac event(s), correlating the time of occurrence or time period associated with the cardiac event(s) and the non-cardiac event(s), identifying one or more gaps in the ECG recordings, and reconstructing the ECG recordings during the one or more gaps based at least in part on the received non-cardiac data. The event processor is also configured to generate a graphical representation of the processed information based on the cardiac event(s) and non-cardiac event(s).

Event reconstruction for a medical device

A wearable medical device includes an electrode assembly having a plurality of ECG sensing electrodes configured to monitor a cardiac condition of a patient using the device, a call button to initiate a call with a remote location and a transceiver configured to communicate information to and from the wearable medical device. The device includes a memory and a controller having at least one processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory. The instructions include receiving, via actuation of the call button, a request to initiate a communication link with the remote location, providing, via a user interface, a confirmatory prompt that the patient indicate confirmation to proceed with the request to initiate the communication link with the remote location, and initiating, via the transceiver, the communication link to the remote location responsive to the indication of the confirmation to proceed with the request to initiate the communication link.

Systems and methods for communicating data

An augmented-reality system for providing information relating to a wearable medical device and/or a patient wearing a medical device. An augmented-reality enabled computing device includes an image acquisition device, a user interface operatively coupled to the image acquisition device, the user interface configured to receive streaming images of a scene having one or more predetermined recognizable features, and a processor operably connected to the user interface. The processor is configured receive the streaming images, analyze the one or more predetermined recognizable features to determine a context of the scene, retrieve information relating to at least one of the medical device and the patient wearing the medical device, the information corresponding to the determined context of the scene, and augment the received streaming images with contextual information relating to at least one of the medical device and the patient wearing the medical device.

Augmented reality information system for use with a medical device

An external medical device including monitoring circuitry and communication circuitry. The monitoring circuitry monitors a cardiac condition of a patient using the external medical device. For example, the communication circuitry initiates a communication link with a remote location. The remote location can be selected based on data associated with at least one of the external medical device and the patient using the external medical device. In some examples, supporting data can be transmitted to the remote location.
