METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADJUSTING PARAMETER UPDATE RATES IN CLOSED-LOOP THERAPY CONTROL

An example of a system for delivering a therapy may include a therapy output device to deliver the therapy and a therapy control circuit to control the delivery of the therapy using sensed therapy-control signals. The therapy control circuit may include a therapy controller to control the delivery of the therapy using therapy parameters, a therapy parameter adjuster to adjust the therapy parameters using one or more sensed input parameters, a physical state detector to detect a physical state of the patient using one or more physical signals of the sensed therapy-control signals, a measurement system to measure one or more signals of the sensed therapy-control signals at a sensing update rate and to produce the one or more sensed input parameters based on the measurement, and an update rate adjuster to adjust the sensing update rate based on one or more rate-adjusting parameters including the detected physical state.
