Patent 11911177 was granted and assigned to Medtronic on February, 2024 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
This disclosure is directed to devices, systems, and techniques for determining an efficacy of a treatment program. For example, a medical device system includes a medical device including one or more sensors configured to generate a signal that indicates a parameter of a patient. Additionally, the medical device system includes processing circuitry configured to receive data indicative of a user selection of a reference time; determine a plurality of parameter values of the parameter based on a portion of the signal corresponding to a period of time including the reference time. Additionally, the processing circuitry is configured to identify, based on a first set of parameter values, a reference parameter value, calculate a parameter change value, and determine, based on the parameter change value, whether an improvement or a worsening of the patient has occurred responsive to a treatment administered beginning at the reference time.
