25. A method of providing bio-feedback to a patient having one or more medical devices, the method comprising the steps of:
-
supplying patient symptom data to a personal computer (PC), the patient symptom data representative of one or more symptoms being experienced by the patient; transmitting medical device data from the medical device to the PC; processing the supplied patient symptom data and the transmitted medical device data in the PC; and based on the processed data, supplying diagnostic bio-feedback to the patient via the PC.
