Abstract

An apparatus and method that allows a patient to access stored preset patient therapy programs, that are resident in a medical device, and to create personalized therapy programs or automatic timing therapy programs from preset therapy programs to accommodate the patient's particular activity. Alternatively, the patient can select and access stored preset patient therapy programs and combine at least two modified or unmodified preset therapy programs to create personalized therapy programs.
