Intelligent Coronary Sinus Catheter Systems with AI, IoT, and Blockchain Integration

A novel coronary sinus catheter system that combines AI-powered sensors, IoT-enabled patient monitoring, and blockchain-based data storage to provide real-time catheter navigation, personalized treatment recommendations, and secure patient data management.

The original patent disclosed a stabilized coronary sinus catheter system with improved handles for steerable catheters. However, the system lacked real-time navigation capabilities, secure data storage, and personalized treatment recommendations. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by integrating distinct technologies to create a more powerful and efficient system.

The new system comprises a catheter handle with a built-in AI-powered sensor to detect and adjust the catheter's position and orientation in real-time. The system also includes an IoT-enabled patient monitoring platform that receives real-time catheter position and orientation data and provides personalized treatment recommendations based on machine learning algorithms. Furthermore, the system incorporates a blockchain-based data storage system to securely store and analyze patient data. The system can be integrated with augmented reality displays and computer vision algorithms for real-time feedback to the operator. Additionally, the system can utilize generative AI to optimize catheter design with improved stiffness, flexibility, and deflection characteristics.

The new claims introduce the novel combination of AI-powered sensors, IoT-enabled patient monitoring, and blockchain-based data storage, which provides a synergistic improvement in coronary sinus catheter navigation, treatment recommendations, and patient data management. The inventive step lies in the integration of these distinct technologies to create a more powerful and efficient system.

Alternative embodiments may include varying the type of AI algorithm used, integrating different IoT platforms, or utilizing alternative blockchain protocols. The system can also be adapted for use in other medical procedures, such as electrophysiology or cardiology.

The inventive concept has significant commercial potential in the medical device industry, particularly in the fields of electrophysiology and cardiology. The system's ability to provide real-time navigation, personalized treatment recommendations, and secure patient data management can improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
