Sažetak
A system for monitoring drug dispensation and drug effects on physiological signals or implantable medical device (IMD) performance is provided. The system includes a drug dispenser adapted for telemetric commnnication with an IMD, an IMD capable ofacquiring time-based physiological or device performance data, and a programmer/monitor for receiving and displaying IMD-acquired data and drug dispensation data. The systemmay further include a patient activator for transmitting signals indicative of symptoms experienced by a patient associated with a side-effect caused by a drug or a condition for which the drug has been prescribed to treat. In an associated method, a drug dispensation signal is generated upon activation of the drug dispenser. IMD-acquired data, drug dispensation data, and patient symptom data are retrieved by a progrannner/monitor. IMD-acquired data is combined with or grouped according to drug dispensation data and displayed.
