Use of a progressive compression encoding of physiologic waveform data in an implantable device to support discontinuing transmission of low-value data
Summary
NeuroPace patent covering progressive compression encoding of stored intracranial EEG waveforms, enabling the RNS System to prioritize wireless transmission of high-value electrophysiological segments β those containing detected epileptiform activity or novel patterns β while discontinuing transmission of low-value baseline recordings. Reduces wireless data burden, extends battery life, and focuses physician review time on clinically meaningful data.
Why it matters
Data compression for neural implants is a critical enabling technology determining practical battery life and wireless bandwidth requirements. This patent protects the data management architecture that makes long-term ambulatory neural recording clinically viable β as BCI electrode counts and recording durations increase, naive data transmission becomes impractical.
