Physician programmer system with telemetered sensor waveform
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- an implantable cardiac stimulation device that is operative to internally monitor signals indicative of cardiac activity;
at least one implantable sensor capable of monitoring at least one internally measured parameter;
a programmer capable of providing control signals to the implantable cardiac stimulation device and of displaying information received from the implantable cardiac stimulation device and the at least one implantable sensor simultaneously so as to allow a clinician to simultaneously view the information in at least a quasi-real-time manner; and
a telemetry system operative to establish a telemetry link between the programmer and the implantable cardiac stimulation device and the at least one implantable sensor.

Abstract
A programmer and implantable stimulation device system with the implantable device and programmer in telemetric communication with each other wherein the implantable device internally monitors a plurality of physiological parameters and telemeters a plurality of those parameters to the programmer in at least a quasi-real-time manner such that the programmer can display waveforms corresponding to the internally monitored parameters in at least a quasi-real-time manner. The physiological parameters can include measurements of cardiac function, metabolic need, and patient orientation. In some aspects, the internally monitored parameters are provided continuously in a real-time manner and, in other aspects, the parameters are processed to a limited extent and provided as a derived parameter, such as an average, and/or as frames of data.
