Abstract
Techniques for detecting infections in a patient in relation to temperature values obtained from implantable temperature sensors are described. An example implantable temperature sensor may be included within a housing of an implantable medical device (IMD). In some examples, the temperature sensor may determine a plurality of temperature values over time. Processing circuitry of the IMD or of an external device may smooth the temperature values and apply an infection detection model to the smoothened temperature signal to determine an infection status of the patient.
