Abstract
An implantable medical device that includes a memory, stimulation circuitry configured to deliver electrical stimulation to a patient, and processing circuitry operably coupled to the memory. The processing circuitry is configured to: control the stimulation circuitry to output electrical stimulation therapy to a patient via a first electrode combination and control the stimulation circuitry to output a notification stimulation via a second electrode combination and interleaved with the electrical stimulation therapy. The notification stimulation may include an intensity above a perception level of the patient, and the second electrode combination may include an electrode disposed at an implant site of the implantable medical device.
