This invention describes a system where a medical device worn by a patient detects their posture and activity. This detected posture state is then wirelessly sent to a separate medical device programmer, which displays a simple indicator of the patient's current posture. This allows a clinician or patient to see how the medical device is adjusting its therapy based on their movements, with the claims specifically focusing on displaying this information on a medical device programmer.
Why it matters: Since 2015, advancements in low-power wireless communication and miniaturized, accurate motion sensors have significantly reduced the cost and complexity of integrating posture detection into medical devices. This makes the telemetry and display aspects, particularly on a general-purpose device acting as a programmer, more feasible and less expensive to implement now.
