Abstract: Systems and methods which provide a slip ring anchor configuration in which an anchor body includes inelastic members and a fluted elastomeric casing operable in cooperation to impart a radial compressive force to a corresponding lead body are described. A slip ring anchor body may comprise a plurality of inelastic members alternately disposed in flutes of a fluted elastomeric casing portion of the anchor body. The fluted elastomeric casing may form an anchor lumen through which a lead body may be inserted. Once a slip ring anchor is disposed at a desired position axially along the lead body, manipulation of one or more slip rings may be used to cause a radial compressive force to be imparted upon the lead body. A slip ring actuator tool may be used to manipulate a slip ring between unlocked and locked positions.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for providing neurostimulation therapy according to patient features. The patient features may be analyzed to develop a patient model between physiological and/or patient reported features and optimal settings for a neurostimulation therapy using machine learning operations. The model is trained using data corresponding to time intervals in which electrical pulses are applied to the patient, including video kinematic data, patient reported pain levels, implanted or worn sensor patient data, and stimulation parameters. The model is used to control ongoing neurostimulation therapy for the patient.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for stimulating the dorsal root ganglion of a patient comprises an elongate flexible implantable stimulation lead adapted to apply the stimulation pulses to the dorsal root ganglion of the patient, wherein the distal end comprises at least one electrode. A first segment and a second segment of the anchor are configured to transition between a collapsed configuration and deployed configuration. A central channel in the first segment and the second segment allows the anchor to be advanced along the stimulation lead from a proximal end toward the distal end while in the collapsed configuration. The central channel of each segment grips onto the stimulation lead in the deployed configuration so that the segment does not move from a deployed position on the stimulation lead. The first segment and the second segment may be deployed on opposite sides of foraminal ligament to anchor the stimulation lead.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating remote care management involving a patient having an implantable medical device (IMD). Upon establishing a remote care session between a patient controller device and a clinician programmer, wherein the clinician and the patient are remotely located with respect to each other, input from the patient or the clinician may be received via a user interface control associated with a particular functionality or aspect of the remote care session, including audiovisual (AV) communications, remote therapy programming, and related context. Responsive to the user input, a dialog interface is effectuated at one of the patient controller device and/or the clinician programmer. A user characterization label is received via the dialog interface from the user, wherein the user characterization label is indicative of a subjective assessment of the particular functionality of the remote care session, which may be used in generating user-labeled data pertaining thereto.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to providing digital health services. In some embodiments, systems and methods for conducting virtual or remote sessions between patients and clinicians are disclosed. During the sessions, media content (e.g., images, video content, audio content, etc.) may be captured as the patient performs one or more tasks. The media content may be presented to the clinician and used to evaluate a condition of the patient or a state of the condition, adjust treatment parameters, provide therapy, or other operations to treat the patient. The analysis of the media content may be aided by one or more machine learning/artificial intelligence models that analyze various aspects of the media content, augment the media content, or other functionality to aid in the treatment of the patient.

Abstract: An ablation system and method are provided. The ablation system includes an ablation power generator configured to generate ablation energy. An active electrode is coupled to the ablation power generator and is configured to deliver the ablation energy to ablation tissue of interest during an ablation procedure. A return electrode arrangement (REA) is coupled to the ablation power generator and is configured to engage remote tissue, at a remote location from the ablation tissue of interest, to provide a return path during the ablation procedure. The REA transitions between an engaged and disengaged state with the remote tissue. An electrode-tissue engagement (ETE) circuit includes a resonant circuit coupled to the REA. The ETE circuit is configured to detect when the REA is in the engaged state or disengaged state.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for wirelessly charging an implantable medical device. An external charging device includes a coil, signal generating circuitry to drive current through the coil at a charging frequency to induce current in a second coil in the implantable medical device, monitoring circuitry to generate an output signal to monitor charging operations, and a comb filter. The comb filter is configured to apply filtering to the output signal to remove noise from the output signal, wherein the filtering is applied based on the charging frequency. The external charging device is configured to process the filtered output signal to detect a circuit state of charging circuitry of the implantable medical device during charging operations, and the external charging device is configured to vary the charging frequency based, in part, on detection of the circuit state of the charging circuitry of the implantable medical device.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating device and application authentication between an external device and an implanted medical device (IMD), wherein a therapy application executing on the external device is operative to communicate with the IMD via wireless telemetry communications. A device authentication parameter may be decomposed into two key components, wherein one component may be stored in a cloud key vault and the other component may be distributed to the external device as an obfuscated portion embedded in the therapy application. Upon receiving the therapy application, the external device is operative to separately retrieve both key components and reconstitute the original authentication parameter therefrom, which may be presented to the IMD for authentication.
