AUTOMATIC THERAPY ADJUSTMENTS
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- defining an event via at least one processor;
monitoring therapy delivered by a medical device during occurrence of the defined event;
associating therapy information indicative of the monitored therapy with the defined event;
subsequently detecting, via a sensor, the defined event; and
providing therapy to a patient via the medical device according to the therapy information in response to the detection of the defined event.

Abstract
A medical device detects a previously defined event, and controls delivery of therapy to a patient according to therapy information associated with the previously defined event. In exemplary embodiments, the medical device enters a learning mode in response to a command received from a user, e.g., the patient or a clinician. In such embodiments, the medical device defines the event, collects the therapy information, and associates the therapy information with the defined event while operating in the learning mode. In some embodiments, the medical device defines the event based on the output of a sensor that indicates a physiological parameter of the patient during the learning mode. The sensor may be an accelerometer, which generates an output that reflects motion and/or posture of the patient. The medical device may collect therapy information by recording therapy changes made by the user during the learning mode.
