ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for managing battery longevity of an implantable medical device (“IMD”) battery. In accordance with this embodiment, the method can include the steps of: (1) calculating an elapsed battery longevity value for the IMD battery; (2) calculating a remaining battery longevity value for the IMD battery; (3) calculating a total IMD battery longevity value from the elapsed battery longevity value and the remaining battery longevity value; (4) determining from the total IMD battery longevity value whether the IMD battery longevity is sub-optimal; (5) displaying IMD parameters that may be causing the sub-optimal IMD battery longevity; and (6) adjusting the IMD parameters to improve the IMD battery longevity.
