  • ACCELEROMETER FEEDBACK CONTROL LOOP FOR PATIENT ALERT
    Publication number: 20120194341
    Abstract: A system and associated method for alerting a patient of a condition detected by an implanted medical device by delivering an alert signal to cause a motion within the patient's body in response to detecting the condition. An accelerometer signal is measured during the alert signal delivery. Accelerometer signal measurements are compared to a threshold. A parameter controlling the alert signal is adjusted to maintain the accelerometer signal within a range of the threshold.
