1. A system comprising:
an implantable medical device (IMD) implanted in a body of a patient, the IMD comprising a first memory, one or more sensors configured to sense at least one physiological parameter of the patient, and first processing circuitry in communication with the first memory and the one or more sensors;
a second memory configured to store image data; and
second processing circuitry in communication with the second memory, the second processing circuitry configured to:
provide an interactive session configured to allow a user to navigate a plurality of subsessions comprising at least a first subsession;
display, during the first subsession, a prompt for the user to capture image data of an implantation site of the IMD on a body of the patient via one or more cameras;
apply the image data of the implantation site on the body of the patient captured during the first subsession and historical image data of the implantation site of the body of the patient as input to a machine learning model to analyze progression of healing of the implantation site on the body of the patient, wherein the machine learning model is trained on reference image data from a library of reference images that include a similar implantation method and instrument attributes to that of the implantation site; and
output a post-implant report of the interactive session, wherein the post-implant report includes an indication of the progression of the healing of the implantation site on the body of the patient.
