Post operative implantation site monitoring

A system for monitoring an implantation site of a patient of an implantable medical device (IMD), the system comprising:

• a memory configured to store image data;
• and
• one or more processors in communication with the memory, the one or more processors configured to:
• determine identification data for the patient;
• identify, based at least in part on the identification data, IMD information that corresponds to the IMD;
• determine, based at least in part on the IMD information, an imaging program that defines one or more parameters for imaging the implantation site;
• initiate an imaging device, the imaging device configured to capture, in accordance with the imaging program, one or more frames of the image data;
• receive, from the imaging device, at least one frame of the one or more frames, the at least one frame including an image of the implantation site;
• identify, from the at least one frame of the image data, an abnormality at the implantation site;
• in response to identifying the abnormality, automatically trigger a supplemental image capture mode, wherein the imaging device, when operating in the supplemental image capture mode, is configured to capture one or more supplemental images of the implantation site;
• subsequent to triggering the supplemental image capture mode, receive the one or more supplemental images of the implantation site;
• and
• output the one or more supplemental images of the implantation site.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to:

• determine identification data for a patient, the patient having an implantable medical device (IMD);
• identify, based at least in part on the identification data, IMD information that corresponds to the IMD;
• determine, based at least in part on the IMD information, an imaging program that defines one or more parameters for imaging an implantation site;
• initiate an imaging device, the imaging device configured to capture, in accordance with the imaging program, one or more frames of image data;
• receive, via the imaging device, at least one frame of the one or more frames, the at least one frame including an image of the implantation site;
• identify, from the at least one frame of the image data, an abnormality at the implantation site;
• in response to identifying the abnormality, automatically trigger a supplemental image capture mode, wherein the imaging device, when operating in the supplemental image capture mode, is configured to capture one or more supplemental images of the implantation site;
• subsequent to triggering the supplemental image capture mode, receive the one or more supplemental images of the implantation site;
• and
• output the one or more supplemental images of the implantation site.
