Abstract
In a patient management system, a remote monitoring device interrogates an implantable device on an intermittent basis over a wireless telemetry link, with interrogations being performed either according to a programmed schedule or upon receiving a command to do so via the user interface or the network interface. Described is a system and method for optimizing, limiting, and/or monitoring an implantable device's telemetry usage in order to avoid premature battery depletion and/or raise an alert if excessive battery depletion is beginning to occur.
