Systems and methods for monitoring and managing power consumption of an implantable medical device

摘要

In one embodiment, an external programming device is operable to determine and graphically display power consumption of an implantable medical device (“IMD”). In accordance with this particular embodiment, the external programming device includes a graphical user interface display and a communication interface operable to receive information from an IMD. In this embodiment, the external programming device is operable to receive IMD parameter settings and/or battery parameter values from the IMD, calculate an power consumption rate for the IMD, and then display the power consumption on the graphical user interface display using a graphical visual indicator.
