Description
Chemical information in health index Priority claim The present application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional application No. 63/604,098, filed on 11/29, 2023, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Technical Field This document relates generally to medical devices and, more particularly, to determining a health index including chemical information. Background Ambulatory medical devices (Ambulatory MEDICAL DEVICE, AMD), including implantable, subcutaneous, wearable, or one or more other medical devices, etc., can monitor, detect, or treat a variety of diseases, including Heart Failure (HF), atrial fibrillation (atrial fibrillation, AF), etc. The ambulatory medical device may include a sensor for sensing physiological information from the patient, and one or more circuits for detecting one or more physiological events using the sensed physiological information, or transmitting the sensed physiological information or the detected physiological events to one or more remote devices. Frequent patient monitoring may provide early detection of worsening patient conditions, including worsening heart failure or atrial fibrillation. Accurate identification of patients or patient groups at high risk of future adverse events may control mode or feature selection or resource management of one or more ambulatory medical devices, control notifications or messages in the connected system to various users associated with a particular patient or patient group, organize or schedule doctor or patient contact or treatment, or prevent or reduce patient hospitalization. The risk of worsening patient condition is accurately identified and safely managed to avoid unnecessary medical intervention, extend the life of ambulatory medical devices, and reduce medical costs.
