ABSTRACT:
An implantable medical device determines activity levels over a set of time periods, preferably on the order of seconds, minutes and hours and a display is enabled for days or weeks at recorded activity levels over a range of dates. This enables physician review of patient functional status. Additional physiologic data can be recorded along with the activity data, and this too may be reported out from the implanted device to a medical communications system for alarm purposes, titrating drugs or other monitoring tasks.
