    摘要: The disclosure describes a method and system that allows a user to manage multiple groups of stimulation programs that provide stimulation therapy. A physician may prepare a plurality of programs, arranged in groups that each focus on one area, that the patient may evaluate in an effort to determine if any programs provide efficacious therapy. Since the patient may be evaluating many groups by using a patient programmer, managing the groups may be difficult. The patient programmer may enable the patient to hide ineffective groups to minimize the number of groups available for therapy. In addition, the programmer may allow the patient to mark each group or program as effective or ineffective, to more easily manage groups and programs during stimulation therapy. In addition, the patient may unhide a group or program if the patient desires to reevaluate a formerly hidden option.

    摘要: An apparatus and method that allows a patient to access stored preset patient therapy programs, that are resident in a medical device, and to create personalized therapy programs or automatic timing therapy programs from preset therapy programs to accomodate the patient's particular activity. Alternatively, the patient can select and access stored preset patient therapy programs and combine at least two modified or unmodified preset therapy programs to create personalized therapy programs.

    摘要: The disclosure describes a method and system that allows a user to modify a stimulation parameter in a plurality of stimulation programs with a single adjustment. During stimulation therapy, the user, such as a patient, may desire to change a parameter of the plurality of stimulation programs. The patient may press a single button on an external programmer to make the parameter change, or global adjustment, to all of the plurality of stimulation programs. This global adjustment eliminates the need for the patient to navigate through each of the plurality of stimulation programs separately and adjust the parameter. Additionally, changing the plurality of stimulation programs may be desirable for uniform stimulation therapy between programs used by the patient. The external programmer may calculate an appropriate parameter change for each stimulation program to keep parameter ratios equal between the plurality of stimulation programs.

    摘要: Techniques for collection and management of data relating to neurostimulation therapy involve selection of questions for the user to answer based on the context of the therapy delivered by the neurostimulation device at the time the questions are presented. In this manner, appropriate data may be collected for specific contexts. The techniques may involve storage of answers to the questions with information indicative of the contexts. Information indicative of the contexts may include information relating to the types of neurostimulation therapy requests made by the patient, stimulation settings associated with the neurostimulation therapy, and data and time information. The techniques may be implemented by neurostimulation therapy interface device such as a patient programmer that controls operation of an implanted neurostimulation device.

    摘要: User interface for external power source, recharger, for an implantable medical device (16). At least some of patient controls and display icons of an energy transfer unit (48) are common with at least some of the patient control and the display icons of a patient control unit (2). An energy transfer unit (48) is operable by the patient with less than three operative controls to control energy transfer from the external energy transfer unit (48) to the implantable medical device (16). An external antenna (52) having a primary coil (54) can inductively transfer energy to a secondary coil (34) of the implantable medical device (16) when the external antenna (52) is externally placed in proximity of the secondary coil (34). An energy transfer unit (48) has an external telemetry coil (46) allowing the energy transfer unit (48) to communicate with the implantable medical device (16) through the internal telemetry coil (44) in order to at least partially control the therapeutic output of the implantable medical device (16).
