Abstract
A control system () is used to control a charging process of an implantable medical device for a patient. The control system () includes a means for determining a temperature () of a tissue of a patient; and a control unit () configured to determine a cumulative thermal dose of the patient based on the determined temperature. The control unit () is configured to continue, after an interruption of the charging process and upon resumption of the charging process, the determination of the cumulative thermal dose based on one or more predefined conditions. The control unit () is configured to reset the determined cumulative thermal dose when a time span from interruption is greater than a time limit and/or when a measured temperature is lower than a temperature limit. A method and a corresponding computer program may also provide such control.
