User interface for programming rate response technical field
First Claim
1. A method of programming a rate response field for an implantable medical device without subjecting a patient to an exercise test or the like, comprising:
- receiving currently programmed rate response parameters and at least one currently programmed optimization target value from an implantable medical device;
displaying the currently programmed parameters and at least one target value via a user interface;
generating a current rate response curve which represents sensor indicated rate as a function of activity level based on the currently programmed parameters, and a current target rate histogram which represents an estimate of percentage of time as a function of sensor indicated rate based solely upon the currently programmed parameters and at least one target value without subjecting a patient receiving therapy from the implantable medical device to either an exercise test or a predetermined regimen of exertion and without first reprogramming the implantable medical device; and
displaying both the current rate response curve and the current target rate histogram via the user interface.

Abstract
A programmer including a user interface, and techniques for programming a rate responsive implantable medical device using such a programmer and user interface are presented. The programmer may retrieve currently programmed rate response parameters and optimization target values of an implantable medical device. The programmer may display the currently programmed rate response parameters and optimization target values via a user interface. The programmer may also generate a current rate response curve and a current target rate histogram, and display the current rate response curve and current target rate histogram via the user interface. The programmer may receive changes to the displayed currently programmed rate response parameters and/or target values made by a user via the user interface, generate a pending rate response curve and/or a pending target rate histogram based on these changes, and display the pending rate response curve and/or pending target rate histogram via the user interface.

15. A computer-readable medium comprising instruction that cause a processor to:
-
receive currently programmed rate response parameters and at least one currently programmed optimization target value from an implantable medical device; display the currently programmed parameters and at least one target value via a user interface; generate a current rate response curve which represents sensor indicated rate as a function of activity level based on the currently programmed parameters, and a current target rate histogram which represents an estimate of percentage of time as a function of sensor indicated rate based solely upon the currently programmed parameters and at least one target value and without reference to any signals derived from either a prescribed exercise test or regimen of exertion by a patient and without first reprogramming the implantable medical device; and display the curve and the histogram via the user interface. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A device comprising:
-
a transceiver to communicate with an implantable medical device; and a processor adapted to; receive currently programmed rate response parameters and at least one currently programmed optimization target value from the implantable medical device via the transceiver, display the currently programmed parameters and at least one target value via a user interface, generate a current rate response curve which represents sensor indicated rate as a function of activity level based on the parameters, and a current target rate histogram which represent an estimate of percentage of time as a function of sensor indicated rate based solely upon the currently programmed parameters and at least one target value and not based upon a rate response signal generated in response to a patient undergoing a prescribed exercise test or predetermined regimen of physical exertion and without first reprogramming the implantable medical device, and display the curve and the histogram via the user interface. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)
