Abstract
A medical device, wherein the medical device is configured to determine whether or not a data collection activity should be commenced, wherein the data is physiological data associated with a recipient of the medical device. In an exemplary embodiment, the medical device can be a prosthesis, such as an implanted prosthesis, and in other embodiments, the medical device is different from a prosthesis.
Claims32
An apparatus, comprising:
- a medical device, wherein the medical device is configured to determine, based on non-movement data associated with a recipient of the medical device, whether or not a data collection activity should be commenced, wherein the data is physiological data associated with the recipient of the medical device.

A system, comprising:
- a first sub-system configured to sense a phenomenon associated with an individual;
- a second sub-system configured to at least one of capture sound, capture light, or capture electromagnetic radiation;
- and
- a third sub-system configured to at least one of:
- analyze output from at least the second sub-system and determine at least one of whether to activate the first sub-system or a level of activation of the second sub-system;
- or
- analyze output from at least the second sub-system and the first sub-system and determine at least one of whether to activate or a level of activation of a fourth sub-system that stimulates the recipient.
