Claim:
1. A method for monitoring power supply to an implantable medical device interacting with an external control device, wherein the external control device includes a human-computer interface, a first controller and a power transmitting unit, the implantable medical device includes a power receiving unit, a second controller, a second detector, and a sensing unit electrically connected to the second controller, the method comprising: producing a first magnetic field by the power transmitting unit; sensing the first magnetic field to produce a second magnetic field and converting the second magnetic field into a direct current by the power receiving unit; detecting a power value of the direct current by the second detector to output a first detection signal to the second controller; outputting a first status information to the external control device by the second controller according to the first detection signal; receiving the first status information by the first controller; sensing a temperature value of the implantable medical device b the sensing unit to output a sensing signal to the second controller; and outputting a second status information to the external control device by the second controller according to the sensing signal, wherein the first controller transmits an adjustment signal to the power transmitting unit if informed of the first status information that the power value is not within a designate power range.
