Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to detecting implantable medical device orientation changes. In an exemplary embodiment, a medical device having a processor, comprises an acceleration sensor and memory. The acceleration sensor is configured to generate acceleration data that comprises a plurality of acceleration measurements. The memory comprises instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: obtain the acceleration data from the acceleration sensor; and determine, based on the acceleration data, that the medical device has flipped.
