Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques for generation of sleep quality information based on posture state data. The techniques may include obtaining posture state data sensed by a medical device for a patient, generating sleep quality information based on lying posture state changes indicated by the posture state data, and presenting the sleep quality information to a user via a user interface.
Claims21
(canceled)
A system comprising:
- a medical device configured to deliver posture responsive therapy to a patient;
- at least one processor configured to:
- control the medical device to deliver the posture responsive therapy to the patient,
- obtain posture state data sensed by the medical device for the patient, wherein the posture state data is sensed during delivery of the posture responsive therapy by the medical device,
- determine durations for which the patient occupied each posture state of a plurality of posture states based on the posture state data, and
- generate proportional posture information for a plurality of different time intervals based on the durations, wherein the proportional posture information for each of the time intervals indicates proportional amounts of the respective time interval in which the patient occupied the posture states, wherein at least one of the time intervals has a length corresponding to a therapy session between programming sessions, and wherein the therapy session defines a period of time during which posture responsive therapy was delivered to the patient by the medical device;
- and
- a user interface configured to present the proportional posture information to a user.
