Abstract
A system evaluates the performance of an implantable medical device, such as by using a remote external server and a user interface and stored historical physiological data of a population of congestive heart failure (CHF) patients. A processor is coupled to a patient data storage device to apply multiple algorithm variations against the same implantable physiological data from the patient to produce corresponding resulting CHF indicators. The user interface includes a display that is configured to display to a user information allowing comparison between the resulting CHF indicators from the multiple algorithm variations. The display also includes a population data selector to permit the user to select physiological data from a population that includes a different set of one or more patients or physiological data collected over a period of time from the patient. This permits optimization of an algorithm parameter or selection of a best performing algorithm.
