Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed to determine a measure of patient weight using existing medical device sensors, comprising receiving acceleration information of a patient and, if a value of the acceleration information exceeds an activity threshold over a measurement window, detecting patient steps in the measurement window using the acceleration information, determining a patient step rate over the measurement window using the detected patient steps, determining a measure of patient step force for the measurement window, and determining a measure of patient weight using the determined patient step rate and measure of patient step force.
