1. A method, comprising:
- detecting a therapy using an implantable device to implement a process, including;
detecting at least one electrical pulse;
extracting at least one characteristic from the at least one electrical pulse, wherein the therapy includes therapy pulses with at least one characteristic;
comparing the at least one characteristic of the detected pulse to the at least one characteristic of the therapy pulses; and
detecting that the therapy is being applied when the at least one characteristic of the detected pulse favorably compares to the at least one characteristic of the therapy pulses.

Abstract
Various method embodiments detect a concurrent therapy, where the concurrent therapy includes a plurality of therapy pulses. Detecting the concurrent therapy includes detecting at least one electrical pulse, extracting at least one characteristic from the at least one electrical pulse, comparing the at least one characteristic of the detected pulse to at least one characteristic of therapy pulses, and detecting that the concurrent therapy is being applied if the at least one characteristic of the detected pulse favorably compares to the at least one characteristic of the therapy pulses.
