System and method for adapting alarms in a wearable medical device

摘要

According to another example, a wearable medical device controller is provided. The device controller includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to determine a correlation between a phenomenon identifiable by the wearable medical device controller and at least one response pattern associated with a patient and store, responsive to detecting the correlation, an adaptation path to address the at least one response pattern, the adaptation path specifying an adaptation of at least one characteristic of an alarm. The at least one response pattern may include a plurality of response patterns and the adaptation path may reflect adaptations made to address at least some of the plurality of response patterns.

1. An ambulatory medical device comprising:
a memory storing a plurality of adaptation paths associated with an alarm; and at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
detect an occurrence of an event from a group of events comprising a physiological abnormality and an event concerning the ambulatory medical device;issue a first instance of the alarm in response to detecting the occurrence;adapt, in response to no predetermined response to the first instance of the alarm being received within a target response time, at least one characteristic of the alarm according to at least one adaptation path selected from the plurality of adaptation paths; andissue a second instance of the alarm having the at least one adapted characteristic.
