Abstract: An implantable medical device that includes a memory, stimulation circuitry configured to deliver electrical stimulation to a patient, and processing circuitry operably coupled to the memory. The processing circuitry is configured to: control the stimulation circuitry to output electrical stimulation therapy to a patient via a first electrode combination and control the stimulation circuitry to output a notification stimulation via a second electrode combination and interleaved with the electrical stimulation therapy. The notification stimulation may include an intensity above a perception level of the patient, and the second electrode combination may include an electrode disposed at an implant site of the implantable medical device.

Abstract: Processing circuitry of a medical device configured to determine that a condition occurred. The condition may be associated with at least one of a patient or an implantable medical device. Responsive to determining that the condition occurred, access instructions stored at a memory for selecting an alert mode from a plurality of alert modes, then select the alert mode based on the condition. Responsive to selecting the alert mode, output, in the selected alert mode, a notification that indicates the condition occurred.

Abstract: A system that includes a movement sensor configured to be implanted within a patient and generate a movement signal and processing circuitry configured to be implanted within the patient and configured to: receive the movement signal from the movement sensor and determine that the movement signal is representative of a communication from the patient. Responsive to determining that the movement signal is representative of the communication, the processing circuitry may cause an alert associated with the communication to be output to the patient. The processing circuitry may also perform an action requested by the communication.

Abstract: Techniques for systems and methods for remotely monitoring a patient are provided. The system comprises a plurality of input sources operable to acquire patient-specific information corresponding to a condition of a patient. A patient-centric threshold is computed based on relevant environmental, cultural, societal, religion, and economic data for evaluation of the acquired physiological parameters. Risk stratification is performed to determine the risk level of the patient based on the patient-centric threshold, and a recommendation is generated. The recommendation includes a treatment/care plan that can consist of prescriptions and patient education tailored to the risk stratification and patient-specific information.
