Abstract:
1. An implantable neurostimulator, comprising: a pulse generator configured to provide a first neurostimulation therapy to a neural structure in a patient; control logic coupled to the pulse generator; a plurality of physiological parameter sensors coupled to the control logic, wherein the control logic is configured to: sense at least two physiological parameters in a body of the patient, the at least two physiological parameters including at least two of an action potential in a cranial nerve, a heart parameter, a temperature, and a blood parameter; for each of the at least two physiological parameters, generate a first series of signals representative of the physiological parameters sensed over a first time period, store each of the first series of signals as a time sequence data stream representative of the physiological parameters, and transmit each time sequence data stream to an analyzer external to the patient; and wherein the control logic is further configured to receive marker information from the analyzer indicative of an occurrence of a physiological event based on the first series of signals representative of the physiological parameters sensed over a first time period and again sense the at least two physiological parameters in the body of the patient, for each of the at least two physiological parameters, the control logic is further configured to generate a second series of signals representative of the physiological parameters sensed, and analyze each of the second series of signals to determine whether at least one marker from the marker information is present.
