Abstract:
1. A system for predicting a cardiac event of a patient, the system comprising: an adherent device attachable to a patient to electronically measure impedance data from the patient; an input mechanism for receiving patient descriptive data indicating at least one descriptive characteristic of the patient; and a processor and a tangible memory readable by the processor; wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to: receive the impedance data; establish at least one personalized value for the patient based on the impedance data; receive patient descriptive data indicating at least one descriptive characteristic of the patient; establish a predicted impedance specific to the patient, based at least in part on the patient descriptive data; and generate, based at least in part on the impedance data, the predicted impedance, and the at least one personalized value, a patient event prediction output predictive of a patient cardiac event.
