Abstract: An external device transfers a key to an implantable medical device over a proximity communication and then establishes a first far field communication session with the implantable medical device where the key is used for the first communication session. This first communication session may occur before implantation while the implantable medical device is positioned outside of the sterile field so that using a proximity communication is easily achieved. Once the implantable medical device is passed into the sterile field for implantation, the external device may then establish a second far field communication session with the implantable medical device where the last key that was used for the first communication session is again used for the second communication session which avoids the need for another proximity communication to occur within the sterile field.

Abstract: Electrical stimulation therapy is provided to a patient in order to induce a patient sensation. The patient sensation may be selected from a number of patient sensations. A set of therapy parameter values are associated with each of the number of patient sensations. A user interface allows a user to adjust one or more characteristics of the patient sensation.

Abstract: A system for providing stimulation to a patient, the system comprising one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to receive an updated program indicating a plurality of stimulation parameters to configure a medical device to apply the stimulation to the patient and generate difference information based on one or more differences between an existing program and the updated program. The one or more processors are further configured to output the difference information to configure the medical device to apply stimulation to the patient with the plurality of stimulation parameters.

Abstract: An example system includes telemetry circuitry configured for communication between a medical device and an external device associated with the medical device and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to receive, with the telemetry circuitry, an advertisement from the medical device. The advertisement includes connection parameters for a potential communication session with the medical device and an indication that the medical device is connected by an established communication session between the medical device and a connected device. The processing circuitry is further configured to identify the connected device using the indication of the advertisement, initiate a communication session between the telemetry circuitry and the connected device, and output, with the telemetry circuitry and using the communication session between the telemetry circuitry and the connected device, a request for information from the medical device.

Abstract: A system may measure, by one or more sensors, a biometric parameter associated with a subject. The system may determine values of a control parameter based on measuring the biometric parameter. The control parameter may include blood pressure of the subject. The system may perform a control measure based on a comparison of the values of the control parameters to a threshold. Performing the control measure may include delivering therapy treatment to the subject or outputting a notification indicating an action associated with treating a medical condition. Measuring the biometric parameter, determining the values of the control parameter, and performing the control measure may be in response to one or more trigger criteria.

Abstract: An implantable medical device that includes a memory, stimulation circuitry configured to deliver electrical stimulation to a patient, and processing circuitry operably coupled to the memory. The processing circuitry is configured to: control the stimulation circuitry to output electrical stimulation therapy to a patient via a first electrode combination and control the stimulation circuitry to output a notification stimulation via a second electrode combination and interleaved with the electrical stimulation therapy. The notification stimulation may include an intensity above a perception level of the patient, and the second electrode combination may include an electrode disposed at an implant site of the implantable medical device.

Abstract: A system that includes a movement sensor configured to be implanted within a patient and generate a movement signal and processing circuitry configured to be implanted within the patient and configured to: receive the movement signal from the movement sensor and determine that the movement signal is representative of a communication from the patient. Responsive to determining that the movement signal is representative of the communication, the processing circuitry may cause an alert associated with the communication to be output to the patient. The processing circuitry may also perform an action requested by the communication.

Abstract: Techniques for providing therapy to a patient via electrical stimulation are described. The techniques include, for example, determining, relative to a start time of providing the electrical stimulation, one or more efficacy times that correspond to an efficacy indicator, determining, according to the efficacy times, efficacy data items for the patient, comparing the efficacy data items with the efficacy indicator, and generating, based on the comparison, a prediction of an expected response to the therapy manifesting in the patient at a prospective time.

Abstract: Implantable medical systems include implantable percutaneous medical leads and/or implantable medical lead extensions that have fewer conductors than distal electrodes, or distal connectors for extensions, by having one or more conductors be electrically coupled to multiple distal electrodes. The multiple distal electrodes may span a general area of a body of a patient that includes a specific point that requires therapy, such as multiple vertebral segments. Because all distal electrodes spanning the general area that are coupled to an active conductor will output the stimulation therapy, the specific point within the general area will receive the therapy even without identifying which electrode is most effective. Bipolar and unipolar stimulation modes may be used. Multiple leads may be used where each lead has more distal electrodes than conductors. Additionally, a single lead may have more distal electrodes than conductors while also carrying multiple stimulation waveforms.

Abstract: Techniques for delivery of electrical neurostimulation therapy to a patient are disclosed. In one example, a processor controls delivery of electrical neurostimulation therapy to a patient by an electrical neurostimulation therapy device and via a plurality of combinations of a plurality of electrodes disposed along a lead inserted across an anatomical midline of a spinal cord of the patient and angled relative to the anatomical midline, the lead connected to the electrical neurostimulation therapy device. The processor determines, based on the electrical neurostimulation therapy, a location of a physiological midline of the spinal cord. The processor selects, based on the location of the physiological midline, at least one electrode of the plurality of electrodes for subsequent delivery of electrical neurostimulation therapy to the patient. Further, the processor displays a representation of the physiological midline and the anatomical midline relative to the spinal cord.
