Abstract: Techniques to provide haptic feedback to a patient to help the patient align a medical device to a location on their anatomy. In some examples, the patient may align a recharging device to a medical device that is implanted at the location on their anatomy. In some examples, the electrical stimulation can be delivered in such a way that the patient may or may not be able to feel the electrical stimulation, e.g., experience a paresthesia sensation. The system of this disclosure may intentionally adjust the stimulation intensity to provide patient feedback for alignment, such as alignment of the recharging device with the implanted device. Alignment of the recharging device with the implanted device may improve energy transfer, which may, for example, recharge the implanted device more efficiently.

Abstract: A neurostimulation device, external programmer, or remote programming device may receive blood flow information relating to blood flow values from one or more blood flow sensing devices, either directly or via network connections, and perform, direct or control, based on the blood flow information, generation of neurostimulation efficacy information, information to assist in programming of one or more neurostimulation parameter, and/or automatic control of one or more neurostimulation stimulation parameters.
