System and method for collecting clinical data associated with a medical apparatus including an implantable device

A computing device, comprising:

• a processor of the computing device;
• and
• a memory of the computing device coupled to the processor, the processor configured to:
• receive, over a computer network and from an external device of a medical apparatus, a total volume of urine expelled information, the external device having a drive magnet magnetically coupled to a driven magnet of an internal device of the medical apparatus, wherein the internal device is configured to be implanted within a subject and wherein the total volume of urine expelled information is based on a total length of time the internal device and the external device are magnetically coupled together during a voiding session, perform one or more calculations on the total volume of urine expelled information to produce calculated values, and
• send, over a network and based on the calculated values meeting one or more threshold values, one or more signals to at least one of the external device, a mobile device, and a computing device, wherein the one or more signals are utilized to indicate that voiding behavior should be altered.

A medical apparatus comprising:

• an internal device configured to be implanted within a subject and including a driven magnet;
• and
• an external device including a drive magnet, a processor, and a memory, the drive magnet of the external device configured to be magnetically coupled to the driven magnet of the internal device, wherein the memory is coupled to the processor and wherein the processor is configured to:
• determine that the drive magnet of the external device is activated to magnetically rotate the driven magnet of the internal device,
• collect clinical data based on the operation and magnetic coupling of the internal device and the external device of the medical apparatus, wherein the clinical data that includes (1) a urine output volume during a voiding session based on how long the driven magnet of the internal device is magnetically coupled to the drive magnet of the external device during the voiding session, and (2) how many times the driven magnet of the internal device is magnetically coupled to the drive magnet of the external device.
