Assignee: MEDTRONIC, INC.
Field: Medical technology (Instruments)
Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 11:
12. The medical device of claim 1, wherein the parameter is a first parameter, wherein the electrical signal is a first electrical signal, wherein the plurality of parameter values is a first plurality of parameter values, wherein the reference parameter value is a first reference parameter value, wherein the parameter change value is a first parameter change value, wherein the one or more sensors of the implantable medical device are configured to generate a second electrical signal that indicates a second parameter of the patient, wherein the one or more sensors are configured to continuously generate the second electrical signal that indicates the second parameter of the patient over the period of time greater than seven days, and wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:
determine a second plurality of parameter values of the second parameter based on a portion of the second electrical signal corresponding to the time window including the reference time, wherein each parameter value of the second plurality of parameter values represents a measurement of the second parameter for a respective time interval during the time window;
identify, based on a third set of parameter values of the second plurality of parameter values occurring before the reference time, a second reference parameter value;
calculate, based on a fourth set of parameter values of the second plurality of parameter values occurring after the reference time and based on the second reference parameter value, a second parameter change value; and
determine, based on the second parameter change value, whether the improvement or the worsening of the patient has occurred responsive to the treatment administered beginning at the reference time.
