Cloud-based sensor operation adapted to patient behavior

A system for remote monitoring of a patient with an implantable device for pain management, the system comprising:

• one or more sensors configured to sense physiological or functional information from the patient;
• a cloud-computing device communicatively coupled to the one or more sensors, the cloud-computing device configured to receive patient data including the sensed physiological or function information, and to provide cloud-based services including:
• storing the received patient data in a cloud storage;
• detecting a patient behavior including a physical activity level or a physical activity schedule using the received patient data;
• and
• generating a sensor operation recommendation based on the detected patient behavior;
• and
• a remote device configured to:
• access the cloud storage and the cloud-based services via a communication network, and generate a sensor-usage trend indicative of a temporal pattern of a user's interaction with at least one of the one or more sensors, the sensor-usage trend further including a user's battery charging pattern representing a duration of a battery-powered device being charged by the user during a given period;
• display concurrently, on a user interface, a graphical representation of a temporal relationship between the sensor-usage trend over a time period and a trend of the physical activity level or the physical activity schedule over the same time period, and the sensor operation recommendation;
• and
• automatically adjust operations of the one or more sensors, including transitioning the one or more sensors between different operational states with respect to data acquisition, in accordance with the sensor operation recommendation.
