Abstract
An apparatus, system and method of programming a medical therapy in a medical device are provided. Generally, the medical device 10 has a controller 12, a memory 14, a processor 16 and an input device 18. The memory 14 is preloaded with at least one of a plurality of patient profiles and condition profiles. The memory 14 is further preloaded with an associated medication therapy for a plurality of the profiles. The input device 18 receives profile data 90, 91 comprising at least one of a patient profile data and a condition profile data for a specific patient, and the processor 16 processes the received profile data 100 and provides as output one of the preloaded medication therapies based on the processed profile data 102.
