Abstract
Techniques are described for notifying a patient of initiation of a telemetry session with a medical device in order to monitor or reprogram parameters of the medical device. For example, a programming entity sends a notification to advise the patient of initiation of the programming session. The programming entity may send the notification to a notification device, which in turn conveys the notification to the patient. The patient performs an action in response to receiving the notification in order to indicate receipt of the notification to the programming entity. Upon receiving the notification from the patient, the programming entity initiates a programming session to reprogram one or more operating parameters of the medical device of the patient, or a telemetry session to interrogate the medical device.
