Early detection of irregular heart beats using implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs)

Technology Benefits: -- Improved response time and treatment against VTA -- New, more accurate algorithm for detecting heart rate dynamics-- Reduce false positives and unnecessary shocks to patient-- Algorithm-based technology allows for ease in scalability and implementation to existing ICD hardwarePatent information: N/A

Technology Application: -- Early detection of cardiac arrhythmias with ICDs-- Protection for patient against cardiac arrest-- Incorporated to bedside heart rate monitors and detectors at hospitals

Detailed Technology Description: Rapid characterization and classification of ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTA) using ICDsThe technology computes the dominant frequency (DF) and dominant frequency spatial derivative (DFD) of an individual's heart rate, indices useful fo...
