Abstract

Disclosed are medical devices with an acceleration sensor configured to generate acceleration data, a processor, and a memory. The memory, which may be a non-transitory computer readable medium, contains computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform the following: obtain the acceleration data from a first range of time and a second range of time different from the first range, generate heart sound data based on the acceleration data, and determine that the medical device has flipped in orientation during the second range of time by comparing the heart sound data obtained during the first range of time with the heart sound data obtained during the second range of time.
