Systems and methods for programming implantable medical devices
First Claim
1. A method of programming an implantable medical device comprising:
- gathering parameter data representing a set of previously programmed parameter values from a plurality of implanted medical devices;
performing association analysis on the parameter data to form a set of association rules; and
suggesting parameter choices to a system user regarding a specific patient based on the set of association rules.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems and methods for programming implantable medical devices, amongst other things. In an embodiment, the invention includes a method of programming an implantable medical device. The method can include gathering parameter data representing a set of previously programmed parameter values from a plurality of implanted medical devices. The method can further include performing association analysis on the parameter data to form a set of association rules. The method can further include suggesting parameter choices to a system user regarding a specific patient based on the set of association rules. In an embodiment, the invention can include a medical system including a server configured to perform association analysis on a set of data representing previously programmed parameter values from a plurality of implanted medical devices to derive a set of association rules. Other embodiments are also included herein.

15. A method of programming an implantable medical device comprising:
-
gathering parameter data representing a set of previously programmed parameter values from a plurality of implanted medical devices; gathering outcome data representing the effects achieved by the previously programmed parameter values from the plurality of implanted medical devices; linking the parameter data with the corresponding outcome data to form a master data set; performing association analysis on the master data set to form a set of parameter/outcome association rules; and suggesting parameter choices to a system user regarding a specific patient based on the set of association rules. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
