System and method for determining patient-specific implantable medical device programming parameters

A method for determining patient-specific implantable medical device programming parameters, comprising:

• prior to implant of a patient-specific implantable medical device, collecting physiological measures through a plurality of external sensors monitoring reference baseline physiological functions in a patient candidate;
• receiving a self-assessment of physical and emotional well-being from the patient candidate;
• forming a patient profile factored on the physiological measures and the self-assessment, wherein the self-assessment correlates with the physiological measures collected;
• optimizing a therapy by a programming server to be delivered through the patient-specific implantable medical device not yet implanted in the patient candidate by evaluating the patient profile, comprising:
• determining a patient health status from the patient profile;
• prognosticating a clinical trajectory predicted as an outcome of the therapy;
• and
• generating customized programming parameter sets by the programming server for the therapy based on the physiological measures and the self-assessment;
• preprogramming the implantable medical device with the therapy comprised of the customized programming parameter sets into the implantable medical device prior to implantation in the patient candidate;
• and
• implanting the preprogrammed implantable medical device in the patient candidate.
