Abstract: An example method includes receiving, by an implantable device and from an external device, an energy signal; transducing, by the implantable device, the energy signal into electrical power; outputting, by the implantable device and to the external device, a feedback signal that represents an absolute level of the electrical power transduced from the energy signal, wherein the feedback signal includes a first portion that represents a relative level of the electrical power transduced from the energy signal and a second portion that represents a reference voltage level; and delivering, by the implantable device, a level of electrical stimulation therapy proportional to the absolute level of the electrical power transduced from the energy signal.

Abstract: A system may receive first information relating to a patient captured during a baseline period that is prior to the patient receiving stimulation. The system may receive second information relating to the patient captured during an initial therapy assignment. The second information may include testing data generated by delivering stimulation during an implant procedure. The system may determine initial stimulation program settings based on the first information, the second information and population-informed information. The population-informed information may be related to other patients. The system may cause, during a training period, delivery of therapy based on the initial stimulation program settings.

Abstract: An example method includes: delivering one or more electrical stimulation pulses to one or more nerves of a patient via one or more inserted electrodes on a lead or formed on an evaluation needle and prior to implantation of an implantable medical device, the one or more nerves being associated with stimulation therapy; sensing an evoked signal generated by one or more signal sources in response to delivery of the one or more electrical stimulation pulses; determining, based at least in part on the evoked signal, a therapy response group of a plurality of therapy response groups for the patient, wherein the therapy response group indicates whether implantation of the implantable medical device is recommended; and outputting information indicative of the determined therapy response group.
