ABSTRACT:
An implantable medical apparatus includes a therapy unit which produces a medical therapy regimen which is administered by the implantable medical apparatus to a subject. The implantable medical apparatus obtains an electrical signal representing physiological activity of the subject and performs detrended fluctuation analysis on the electrical signal so as to obtain a self-similarity parameter for the electrical signal. Deviations of the self-similarity parameter from a nominal value indicate the severity of the pathology of the subject which the implanted medical apparatus is intended to treat. The self-similarity parameter can be made extracorporeally available for use by a physician to evaluate the effectiveness of a treatment program currently in place, and/or can be supplied to a control unit of the implantable medical apparatus for use in automatically adjusting the therapy regimen administered by the implantable medical apparatus.
