Patent ID: 8454555

Claim:
A device for detecting a cardiac related neural activity indicative of a neural disorder or seizure and for treating the neural disorder or seizure, the device being implantable into a body of a patient and comprising: an input unit for receiving an ECG-signal and a nerve activity signal; a signal treatment unit programmed for: detecting a trigger feature in the ECG-signal, in response to detecting a trigger feature, extracting a nerve activity signal segment from the nerve activity signal, an extraction unit programmed for: extracting a segment-based activity related feature from a number of nerve activity signal segments, thereby extracting a number of activity related features and generating an activity related feature by combining the segment-based activity related features; a monitoring unit programmed for: comparing the activity related feature to a predefined criterion and in the event of the activity related feature fulfils the predefined criterion, detecting the cardiac related neural activity indicative of a neural disorder or a seizure; and means for treating the neural disorder or seizure in the form of a nerve stimulator or a drug pump.
