Abstract: In some examples, a host device includes a battery capacity and/or battery resistance predictive model. The host device may predict a battery capacity value and/or batter resistance value of a rechargeable battery and compare the predicted battery capacity and/or predicted battery resistance to a battery capacity value and/or battery resistance value stored in a fuel gauge. The host device may overwrite the battery capacity value and/or battery resistance value stored in the fuel gauge with the predicted battery capacity value and/or the predicted battery resistance value if the difference is greater than a maximum error threshold.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods allow inductive recharging of a power source located within or coupled to an implantable medical device while the device is implanted in a patient. The implantable medical device in some examples include a receive antenna configuration that may include at least one infinity shaped receive coil. One or more of the receive coils may be affixed to a ferrite sheet formed having a curved shape that conforms to a curvature on an inner surface of a portion of a housing of the implantable medical device so that the ferrite sheet and the receive coil or coils may be positioned adjacent to some portion of the curved inner surface with the ferrite sheet positioned between the inner surface and the receive coil or coils.

The multi-axis antenna configured to generate at least a minimum level of induced current for recharging a power source of the implanted medical device regardless of the orientation of a direction of a magnetic field imposed on the multi-axis antenna relative to an orientation of the implanted medical device and the multi-axis antenna for a given energy level of the imposed magnetic field.

Abstract: A neuromodulation therapy is delivered via at least one electrode implanted subcutaneously and superficially to a fascia layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. In one example, an implantable medical device is deployed along a superficial surface of a deep fascia tissue layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. Electrical stimulation energy is delivered to the nerve through the deep fascia tissue layer via implantable medical device electrodes.
