Abstract:
1. A method of generating an extended cluster by an implanted medical device, comprising: (A) beginning recording of data based on a first signal exceeding a first threshold, the first signal comprising a signal received from a first monitoring element in a first anatomical location, wherein the exceeding of the first threshold by the first signal indicates a first abnormal physiological symptom indicative of an epileptic seizure; (B) determining that the first signal ceases to exceed the first threshold; (C) checking whether a second signal from a second monitoring element located in a second anatomical location continues to exceed a second threshold once the first signal ceases to exceed the first threshold; (D) combining the first and the second signals together to generate the extended cluster if the check determines that the second signal continues to exceed the second threshold, the extended cluster comprising: (E) saving the extended cluster in memory, wherein steps (A)-(E) are each performed at least in part by a medical device.
