Use of a progressive compression encoding of physiologic waveform data in an implantable device to support discontinuing transmission of low-value data

Abstract:

An external data retrieval apparatus receives a low resolution version of a physiological signal from an active implantable medical device and determines if the physiological signal represents a clinically significant event. The apparatus provides an indication of such determination to the implantable medical device. If the physiological signal does represent a clinically significant event, the apparatus receives a full download of the physiological signal from the implantable device.
