Optimizing sensing using an accelerometer

A device comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to:
• control stimulation generation circuitry to generate an electrical stimulation signal deliverable to a patient;
• receive, via first sensing circuitry, an indication of a physical state of the patient;
• determine the physical state of the patient based on the indication of the physical state from the first sensing circuitry;
• and
• automatically determine, based on the physical state of the patient, at least one sensing parameter that at least partially defines second sensing circuitry operation to sense a signal from the patient, and
• control the second sensing circuitry to sense the signal according to the at least one sensing parameter.

A method comprising:
