Systems and methods for monitoring and managing power consumption of an implantable medical device
First Claim
1. An external programming device operable to determine and graphically display power consumption of an implantable medical device (“
- IMD”
), comprising;
a graphical user interface display; and
a communication interface operable to receive information from an IMD;
wherein the external programming device is further operable to;
receive IMD parameter setting values from the IMD;
calculate a power consumption rate of the IMD; and
display the power consumption rate on the graphical user interface display using a graphical visual indicator.

Abstract
In one embodiment, an external programming device is operable to determine and graphically display power consumption of an implantable medical device (“IMD”). In accordance with this particular embodiment, the external programming device includes a graphical user interface display and a communication interface operable to receive information from an IMD. In this embodiment, the external programming device is operable to receive IMD parameter settings and/or battery parameter values from the IMD, calculate a power consumption rate for the IMD, and then display the power consumption on the graphical user interface display using a graphical visual indicator.
