Abstract

A platform of computing systems is configured to receive thrombectomy procedure data that is associated with a user of an aspiration thrombectomy system. The procedure data includes sets of temporal datapoints associated with a thrombectomy procedure. The platform of computing systems is further configured to generate thrombectomy analytics data based on baseline procedure data and the sets of datapoints. The platform of computing systems is further configured to visually display the thrombectomy analytics data, and to provide comparative data metrics for selection on an interactive interface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A first aspiration thrombectomy system associated with an aspiration thrombectomy platform, the first aspiration thrombectomy system comprising:
an aspiration catheter; connection tubing configured for fluid communication between the aspiration catheter and a vacuum source; one or more controllable valves operable to selectively open and close to control a level of pressure in the aspiration catheter; a controller configured to, calculate, in real-time during a first aspiration thrombectomy procedure, a therapeutic-benefit metric associated with a continuance of the first aspiration thrombectomy procedure, wherein the controller is configured to transmit, to the aspiration thrombectomy platform, a first set of thrombectomy procedure data associated with the first thrombectomy procedure performed using the first aspiration thrombectomy system by a first user of the first aspiration thrombectomy system, wherein the first set of thrombectomy procedure data comprises a plurality of subsets of thrombectomy procedure datapoints associated with the first thrombectomy procedure, and wherein at least a first subset of the thrombectomy procedure datapoints comprises temporal datapoints associated with the first thrombectomy procedure and the calculated therapeutic-benefit metric; and a display device associated with one or more of the first aspiration thrombectomy system or the first user, wherein the display device is configured to:
receive and display, in real-time during the first aspiration thrombectomy procedure, from the controller, real-time procedure data associated with the first aspiration thrombectomy procedure, wherein the displayed real-time procedure data comprises one or more indicators corresponding to the calculated therapeutic-benefit metric;
receive, from the aspiration thrombectomy platform, based at least in part on the first set of thrombectomy procedure data and one or more second sets of thrombectomy procedure data associated with one or more respective second thrombectomy procedures, a first set of thrombectomy analytics data associated with the first thrombectomy procedure and the one or more second thrombectomy procedures, wherein the first set of thrombectomy analytics data comprises a plurality of comparative data metrics each associated with one or more of the first thrombectomy procedure or second thrombectomy procedures;
display the first set of thrombectomy analytics data in a first interactive interface, wherein one or more of the plurality of comparative data metrics are configured to be selectable in the first interactive interface;
transmit, to the aspiration thrombectomy platform, a user selection by the first user in the first interactive interface of one or more selected comparative data metrics associated with the first thrombectomy procedure;
receive, from the aspiration thrombectomy platform, based on the user selection, a second set of thrombectomy analytics data associated with the first thrombectomy procedure, wherein the second set of thrombectomy analytics data comprises a plurality of temporal data metrics associated with the first thrombectomy procedure based at least in part on the temporal datapoints associated with the first thrombectomy procedure, wherein the plurality of temporal data metrics comprises one or more optimization metrics each corresponding to the therapeutic-benefit metric associated with the continuance of the first thrombectomy procedure, and wherein each optimization metric corresponding to the therapeutic-benefit is determined based at least in part on a plurality of endpoint determinants associated with the first thrombectomy procedure and the plurality of temporal data metrics associated with the first thrombectomy procedure; and
display the second set of thrombectomy analytics data in a second interactive interface, wherein the second interactive interface is configured to visualize and assess the one or more selected comparative data metrics for the first thrombectomy procedure over a time interval and to track performance of the first user with respect to the first thrombectomy procedure over time, and wherein the second interactive interface comprises a timeline associated with the first thrombectomy procedure, a plurality of visual indicators arranged to qualitatively visualize a temporal history of operating the first aspiration thrombectomy system in a plurality of operating modes over the time interval associated with the timeline, and one or more tokens associated with one or more periods of time in the timeline, respectively, each token being associated with an optimization metric for the respective period of time.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of subsets of thrombectomy procedure datapoints associated with the first thrombectomy procedure comprise one or more second subsets of thrombectomy procedure datapoints associated with the first thrombectomy procedure, and wherein each second subset of thrombectomy procedure datapoints is associated with one or more of:
one or more operating modes; one or more flow states; one or more vascular pressure levels; one or more system pressure levels; one or more valve control activity; one or more periods of user activity or inactivity; an amount of an extracted clot; or an image of the extracted clot.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of subsets of thrombectomy procedure datapoints associated with the first thrombectomy procedure comprise one or more external sets of thrombectomy procedure datapoints associated with one or more separate computing devices associated with the first thrombectomy procedure, and wherein the one or more separate computing devices are external to the first aspiration thrombectomy system.

4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the one or more separate computing devices comprise a monitoring system configured to monitor one or more metrics associated with the first thrombectomy procedure.

5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the monitoring system is a hemodynamic monitoring system, and wherein the one or more metrics comprise metrics associated with one or more of oxygen saturation, blood pressure, or heart rate.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein one or more of the plurality of comparative data metrics are associated with one or more of:
a plurality of flow states associated with the first thrombectomy procedure; a plurality of operating modes associated with the first thrombectomy procedure; a plurality of thrombectomy procedures associated with the first user; a plurality of types of aspiration thrombectomy procedures; a plurality of types of aspiration thrombectomy systems; or a plurality of users of the aspiration thrombectomy systems.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first set of thrombectomy analytics data comprises a score generated based on one or more of the plurality of comparative data metrics.

8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the generated score is a performance score associated with a plurality of thrombectomy procedures.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first device comprises an aspiration thrombectomy platform application associated with the aspiration thrombectomy platform, and wherein the aspiration thrombectomy platform application is configured to visually display the first interactive interface and the second interactive interface.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the aspiration thrombectomy platform application is further configured to provide access to one or more information resource files associated with the aspiration thrombectomy platform.
