Abstract:
1. A method for determining patient-specific implantable medical device programming parameters, comprising: prior to implant of a patient-specific implantable medical device, collecting physiological measures through a plurality of external sensors monitoring reference baseline physiological functions in a patient candidate; receiving a self-assessment of physical and emotional well-being from the patient candidate; forming a patient profile factored on the physiological measures and the self-assessment, wherein the self-assessment correlates with the physiological measures collected; optimizing a therapy by a programming server to be delivered through the patient-specific implantable medical device not yet implanted in the patient candidate by evaluating the patient profile, comprising: preprogramming the implantable medical device with the therapy comprised of the customized programming parameter sets into the implantable medical device prior to implantation in the patient candidate; and implanting the preprogrammed implantable medical device in the patient candidate.
