Abstract
An implantable medical device (IMD) system communicates to a user information regarding the surrounding biological environment and the influence of that surrounding biological environment on IMD functionality. This influence can be static or dynamic. Providing information on the biological environment can assist the user in determining therapy parameters for an individual patient with an IMD.
Claims15
A method, comprising:
- measuring a parameter according to a programmed schedule, the parameter associated with a biological environment, for a system including an implantable medical device (IMD) configured for delivering electrical stimulation therapy;
- determining an upper limit of the therapy that can be delivered by the IMD based on the measured parameter, including determining potentiality for nerve damage from therapy delivery by the IMD based on the parameter;
- and
- displaying the limit to a user using an interface of an external device, including displaying the potentiality for nerve damage from therapy delivery by the IMD, the external device configured to communicate with the IMD.
