Method And Apparatus For Detecting Vagus Nerve Stimulation
US Patent:
2004026, Dec 23, 2004
Filed:
Apr 9, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/821778
Inventors:
Tomas Kara - Rochester MN, US
Virend Somers - Rochester MN, US
Virend Somers - Rochester MN, US
International Classification:
A61N001/18
US Classification:
607/045000, 607/062000
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for monitoring the application of a vagus nerve stimulation signal includes a detection circuit having an amplifier, a filter, and a signal prolongation circuit. The signal prolongation circuit rectifies a detected vagus nerve signal and provides the signal to a Schmitt trigger extending the length of the signal. Because of the prolongation of the signal, the signal can be sampled at a relatively low rate, and real time data illustrating the response of various physiological signals to the application of the vagus nerve signal can be monitored, thereby providing clinical data for monitoring and adjusting the applied stimulation.

International Classification:
G08B 1/08
US Classification:
34053912, 340521, 340506, 600300
Abstract:
A method of providing customized medical monitoring to a patient is disclosed. The method can include steps of selecting a medical monitoring device for a patient, where the medical monitoring device is associated with a biological transducer, determining at least one desired monitoring parameter, and customizing locally the medical monitoring device to monitor the desired monitoring parameter collected by the biological transducer. The method may further include steps of providing the medical monitoring device to the patient, and monitoring at least one health parameter of the patient from a remote location. The medical monitoring device can also be customized remotely.
Detection Of Blood Flow Using Emitted Light Absorption
US Patent:
2008021, Sep 4, 2008
Filed:
Nov 17, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/720566

Assignee:
MAYO FOUNDATION FOR MEDICAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCH - Rochester MN
International Classification:
A61B 5/026
US Classification:
600504
Abstract:
Perfused tissue is illuminated and light passing through the tissue or reflected from it is detected to produce an electrical signal. Amplitude pulses corresponding to the subject's heart beat are detected in the electrical signal and the areas of these pulses are calculated to produce blood flow values indicative of the blood volume pumped by the heart. The blood flow values may be used alone or in combination with other measured cardiac parameters to evaluate cardiac function.

International Classification:
A61M 31/00
US Classification:
604503000, 604065000, 604066000
Abstract:
A method for dynamic control of medications provided to a patient at a remote location is disclosed. The method can include steps of selecting a customized set of medications for a patient, where the customized set of medications at least partially reflect a medical diagnosis of the patient, and providing the customized set of medications to the patient, where the customized set of medications are inaccessible to the patient without authorization from a medical care provider. Further steps of the method can include authorizing the patient to receive a first medication regimen from the customized set of medications, monitoring remotely at least one health parameter of the patient, and authorizing the first medication regimen to be modified to a second medication regimen based at least partially on the at least one health parameter.
