1. A method, comprising:
detecting a movement of an implanted prosthesis, where the implanted prosthesis comprises one or more sensors;
responsive to detecting the movement of the implanted prosthesis, generating a sensor signal of the movement, where generating a sensor signal of the movement comprises sampling an analog output signal output by the one or more sensors to obtain a set of samples;
determining that the sensor signal represents a qualified event;
responsive to determining that the sensor signal represents a qualified event, transmitting the sensor signal to a remote location; correlating the set of samples with corresponding benchmark samples of the qualified event; comparing the correlation results to a threshold; and determining that the set of samples are a qualified event if the correlation results exceed the threshold; and
entering an implantable circuit associated with the prosthesis into a lower-power mode after transmitting the sensor signal.
