Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods discussed herein can be for validating a position of a wirelessly powered electrostimulation device while the device is implanted in body tissue. A method can include situating the electrostimulation device in tissue and before an affixation mechanism of the electrostimulation device is deployed to maintain an implanted position of the electrostimulation device, and while electrodes of the device are in contact with the tissue, performing electrical testing of the electrostimulation device to determine whether the electrostimulation from the electrostimulation device evokes a specified response from the body that contains the tissue.
