DETERMINING HEALTH CONDITION STATUSES USING SUBCUTANEOUS IMPEDANCE MEASUREMENTS

Techniques for obtaining impedance data to provide an early warning for heart failure decompensation are described. An example device may be configured to measure subcutaneous impedance values, and increment an impedance score. In some examples, the device may use an adaptive threshold and fluid ind...

Zusammenfassung:Techniques for obtaining impedance data to provide an early warning for heart failure decompensation are described. An example device may be configured to measure subcutaneous impedance values, and increment an impedance score. In some examples, the device may use an adaptive threshold and fluid index in incrementing the impedance score. In some examples, the impedance score is compared to a threshold to determine a heart failure status of a patient. In some examples, may cause resets in fluid index values and/or determine positions or orientations of the device when determining the impedance score.
