ABSTRACT:
A medical patient's compliance with a prescribed regimen of treatment is monitored through elapsed time of equipment operation. A treatment device used by the patient applies a stimulation signal to the patient through an electrode and counts a first clock signal which produces a first count indicative of the length of time which the stimulation signal is applied. When the patient revisits the doctor, a compliance monitor readout device is connected to the treatment device to facilitate the compliance monitoring. The treatment device then counts, in response to second clock signal generated by the compliance monitor, from the first count to a second predetermined count. The compliance monitor readout device also counts the second clock signal and produces a third count. The compliance monitor readout device then displays an output as a function of the third count.
