Abstract: Techniques related to classifying a posture state of a living body are disclosed. One aspect relates to sensing at least one signal indicative of a posture state of a living body. Posture state detection logic classifies the living body as being in a posture state based on the at least one signal, wherein this classification may take into account at least one of posture and activity state of the living body. The posture state detection logic further determines whether the living body is classified in the posture state for at least a predetermined period of time. Response logic is described that initiates a response as a result of the body being classified in the posture state only after the living body has maintained the classified posture state for at least the predetermined period of time. This response may involve a change in therapy, such as neurostimulation therapy, that is delivered to the living body.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and techniques are disclosed for managing electrical stimulation therapy and/or sensing of physiological signals such as brain signals. For example, a system is configured to receive information representing a plurality of signals sensed from a tissue of a patient via a plurality of electrode combinations, wherein the plurality of electrode combinations comprises different electrode combinations comprising electrodes disposed at different positions of the lead implanted in the patient, determine one or more features from the information representing the plurality of signals, and compare the one or more features to a plurality of templates, each template of the plurality of templates representing respective locations of a signal source within the tissue. The system may then determine, based on the comparison of the one or more features to the plurality of templates, an estimated location of the signal source with respect to the lead.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and techniques are disclosed for managing electrical stimulation therapy and/or sensing of physiological signals such as brain signals. For example, a system may assist a clinician in identifying one or more electrode combinations for sensing a brain signal. In another example, a user interface may display brain signal information and values of a stimulation parameter at least partially defining electrical stimulation delivered to a patient when the brain signal information was sensed.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and techniques for identifying electrodes closest to a target region of tissue are described. In one example, a device includes sensing circuitry configured to sense electrical signals from a plurality of electrode combinations. Processing circuitry identifies a first electrode combination of a first subset of electrode combinations. Each electrode combination of the first subset of electrode combination includes electrodes located at different axial positions along a length of the medical lead. The processing circuitry identifies a second electrode combination of a second subset of electrode combinations. Each electrode combination of the second subset of electrode combinations includes electrodes located at a same axial position and different circumferential positions around a perimeter of the medical lead. The processing circuitry then determines a third electrode combination and controls delivery of electrical stimulation via the third electrode combination.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for using probabilistic entropy to select electrodes with fewer artifacts for controlling adaptive electrical neurostimulation. In one example, a plurality of electrodes sense bioelectrical signals of a brain of a patient. Processing circuitry determines, for each bioelectrical signal sensed at a respective electrode of the plurality of electrodes, a probabilistic entropy value of the bioelectrical signal. The processing circuitry compares each of the respective probabilistic entropy values of the bioelectrical signal to respective entropy threshold values and selects, based on the comparisons, a subset of electrodes of the plurality of electrodes. The processing circuitry controls, based on the bioelectrical signals sensed via respective electrodes of the subset of electrodes and excluding the bioelectrical signals of the plurality of bioelectrical signals sensed via respective electrodes not in the subset of electrodes, delivery of electrical stimulation therapy to the patient.

Abstract: A patient controls the delivery of therapy through volitional inputs that are detected by a biosignal within the brain. The volitional patient input may be directed towards performing a specific physical or mental activity, such as moving a muscle or performing a mathematical calculation. In one embodiment, a biosignal detection module monitors an electroencephalogram (EEG) signal from within the brain of the patient and determines whether the EEG signal includes the biosignal. In one embodiment, the biosignal detection module analyzes one or more frequency components of the EEG signal. In this manner, the patient may adjust therapy delivery by providing a volitional input that is detected by brain signals, wherein the volitional input may not require the interaction with another device, thereby eliminating the need for an external programmer to adjust therapy delivery. Example therapies include electrical stimulation, drug delivery, and delivery of sensory cues.

Abstract: A system for providing stimulation to a patient includes one or more processors implemented in circuitry and one or more accelerometers configured to generate one or more accelerometer signals. The one or more processors are configured to determine accelerometer information for a medical device associated with the patient based on the one or more accelerometer signals and convert the accelerometer information into frequency domain coefficients. The one or more processors are further configured to determine an activity level for the patient based on the frequency domain coefficients and determine one or more stimulation parameters based on the activity level. The one or more processors are further configured to output electrical stimulation to the patient based on the one or more stimulation parameters.

Abstract: In some examples, a processor of a system evaluates a therapy program based on a score determined based on a volume of tissue expected to be activated (“VTA”) by therapy delivery according to the therapy program. The score may be determined using an efficacy map comprising a plurality of voxels that are each assigned a value. In some examples, the efficacy map is selected from a plurality of stored efficacy maps based on a patient condition, one or more patient symptoms, or both the patient condition and one or more patient symptoms. In addition, in some examples, voxels of the efficacy map are assigned respective values that are associated with a clinical rating scale.
