VISUALIZATION OF BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ON IMPLANTED THERAPY

摘要

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.
