1. A method comprising:
- acquiring, at a patient management unit, therapy parameter data relating to an electrical signal provided by an implantable medical device to a cranial nerve of a particular patient;
generating, at the patient management unit, data representing a depression therapy regimen provided to the particular patient, wherein the data further represents a relationship between the therapy parameter data and second therapy parameter data associated with one or more other patients, wherein the particular patient is distinct from the one or more other patients;
displaying, at a display device of the patient management unit, a graphical representation that depicts the data representing the depression therapy regimen;
displaying, at the display device, adjustment information indicating one or more suggested adjustments to one or more parameters of the electrical signal for providing the depression therapy regimen, wherein the one or more suggested adjustments are determined based on a depression score and a quality of life parameter; and
modifying, at the patient management unit, the depression therapy regimen based at least in part on the relationship between the therapy parameter data and the second therapy parameter data.
