Abstract
Various implantable device embodiments may comprise a neural stimulator configured to deliver a neurostimulation therapy to stimulate tissue. A prescribed dose of the neurostimulation therapy relates to a therapeutically-effective and safe amount of charge delivered to the stimulated tissue over a period of time. The neural stimulator may include a power supply used to deliver the neurostimulation therapy, and a charge/current monitor configured to monitor a delivered dose of the neurostimulation therapy with respect to the prescribed dose to determine whether the delivered dose is delivering the therapeutically-effective and safe amount of charge to the stimulated tissue over the period of time.
