I have a (peripheral) nerve stimulator implanted.

Insurance paid for the trial implant, then the permanent one. They also paid for a couple of meetings with a rep from the mfgr who showed me how to use it best.

I have the device, the control, and a transdermal charger. No subscriptions, no remote access, I don't think it keeps logging data.
