Methods and systems for optimizing exercise compliance diagnostic parameters
First Claim
1. For a patient-associated implantable medical device operative to detect patient activity based on a programmable activity threshold and to determine the duration of detected activity, a method of optimizing the activity threshold comprising:
- obtaining first and second duration measurements for at least one of a first activity session and second activity session using an external processor programmed to include an input from the patient-associated implantable medical device and an input from other than from the patient-associated implantable medical device, the first duration measurement based on the activity threshold of the patient-associated implantable medical device, the second duration measurement based on actual start and stop of the activity session; and
suggesting an adjustment of the activity threshold using the external processor programmed to suggest the adjustment based on at least one of correspondence between the first duration measurement and the second duration measurement of the first activity session, and correspondence between the first duration measurement and the second duration measurement of the second activity session.

Abstract
A medical device detects certain patient activity based on a programmable activity threshold and determines the duration of detected activity. The activity threshold may be optimized by obtaining first and second duration measurements for at least one of a first activity session and second activity session. The first duration measurement is based on the activity threshold, while the second duration measurement is based on actual start and stop of the activity session. An adjustment of the activity threshold is suggested based on a correspondence between the first duration measurement and the second duration measurement of the first activity session, or a correspondence between the first duration measurement and the second duration measurement of the second activity session. One of the first and second activities is non-significant activity expected to be undetected by the device, while the other of the two activities is low-level activity expected to be detected by the device.
