ABSTRACT:
Provided herein are implantable systems, and methods for use therewith, that increase the accuracy of measurements produced using an implanted sensor, where the measurements are affected by cycles of a cyclical body function (e.g., heart beat and/or respiration). In accordance with specific embodiments of system, a measurement that is presumed to be accurate is obtained. The measurement can be of a physiologic property, such as, but not limited to, blood oxygen saturation, hematocrit, or blood glucose concentration. Additionally, the implanted is used to produce a plurality of measurements of the physiologic property. Such measurements, produced using the implanted sensor, are compared to the measurement presumed to be accurate to thereby identify when the measurements produced using the implanted sensor are most accurate. Thereafter, the implanted system is configured to use the implanted sensor to produce measurements when the measurements produced using the implanted sensor are most accurate.
