A method and an apparatus for performing implementing external data into an implantable medical device. A first stress test is performed using an external sensor. External data resulting from the initial stress test is acquired. An external data injection process is performed. The external data injection process includes providing the external data to the implantable medical device. A second stress test is performed, the second stress test being substantially similar to the first stress test. Internal data resulting from the second stress test is acquired. Internal data resulting from the second stress test along with the external data resulting from the first stress test, are processed.

A method and an apparatus for performing rate responsive control in an implantable medical device using a scaling factor. Sensor data is acquired using a sensor operatively coupled with the implantable medical device. At least one setpoint for controlling a rate of therapy is generated, the setpoint being based upon the sensor data. A scaling factor adjustment process is performed for scaling the internal sensor data to correlate the sensor data to the setpoint. The rate of therapy is adjusted based upon the scaling factor adjustment.
