Indicating the status of an energy storage device of a medical device

A method comprising:

• receiving a request from a user;
• estimating an amount of energy stored by an energy storage device of a medical device in response to the request;
• estimating a number of therapy delivery events available from the medical device based on the estimated amount of energy stored by the energy storage device;
• and
• presenting the estimated number of therapy delivery events to the user.

A computer-readable medium comprising instructions that cause a programmable processor to:

• receive a request from a user;
• estimate an amount of energy stored by an energy storage device of a medical device in response to the request;
• estimate a number of therapy delivery events available from the medical device based on the estimated amount of stored energy;
• and
• present the estimated number of therapy delivery events to the user.

A method comprising:

• estimating an amount of energy stored by an energy storage device of a medical device that monitors a patient;
• estimating a remaining operational time for the medical device in each of a plurality of monitoring modes based on the estimated amount of stored energy;
• and
• presenting the estimated remaining operational times to a user.
