    Abstract: A Wearable Medical System (WMS) that implements a wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD). In embodiments, the WMS detects when the patient's heart rate exceeds a high threshold heart rate. If it does, a present ECG peak amplitude is compared with a previous ECG peak amplitude that is stored in a memory. If there is deterioration enough to meet or exceed a peak amplitude decrease criterion, a therapeutic shock is administered to the patient. In additional optional embodiments, even if the peak amplitude decrease criterion is not met, it may be determined whether the ECG signal has QRS complexes that meet a morphology stability criterion. If yes, then VT may be detected, for which a therapeutic shock may be delivered upon confirmation. If not, then the event may be dismissed as electrical noise.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for managing a tissue node potential of a neurostimulation system. The envisioned neurostimulation system can include an energy source, a housing or a housing portion, a stimulation node, a stimulation surface for contacting a tissue of a patient, and a control circuit. The control circuit can be configured to maintain at least one of the housing or housing portion, the stimulation node, or the stimulation surface at a predefined voltage or within a predefined voltage range.

    Abstract: An example of a system for programming neurostimulation according to a stimulation configuration may include stimulation configuration circuitry, volume definition circuitry, stimulation effect circuitry, and recording circuitry. The stimulation configuration circuitry may be configured to determine the stimulation configuration. The volume definition circuitry may be configured to determine stimulation field model(s) (SFM(s)) each representing a volume of tissue activated by the neurostimulation. The stimulation effect circuitry may be configured to determine a stimulation effect type for each tagging point specified for the SFM(s) and to tag the SFM(s) at each tagging point with the stimulation effect type determined for that tagging point. The stimulation effect type for each tagging point is a type of stimulation resulting from the neurostimulation as measured at that tagging point. The recording circuitry may be configured to generate SFM data representing the determined SFM(s) with the stimulation effect type tagged at each tagging point.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for neural synchronization via timed and controlled kinetic stimulation. The method involves stimulating a first limb located on one side of a median plane and transverse plane, while simultaneously stimulating a second limb located on the opposite side of the planes. Subsequently, a third and fourth limb are stimulated in alternating fashion, also located on opposing sides of the median and transverse planes. The method includes dynamically adjusting the synchronization of the stimulation pulses based on timing signals generated by a software-controlled algorithm. Additionally, synchronization is further calibrated by monitoring and recalculating neural activity distribution based on real-time patient data, ensuring precise coordination of stimulation pulses across all limbs.

    Abstract: A computer implemented method for protecting a patient critical firmware function of an implantable medical device, in particular a pacemaker, a defibrillator and/or a neuro-stimulator, against unintended execution comprising the step of writing the second checksum to a memory area of the implantable medical device from which a checksum is read before execution of the patient critical firmware function of the implantable medical device. Furthermore, the invention relates to a system for protecting a patient critical firmware function of an implantable medical device. In addition, a computer program and a computer-readable data carrier are also provided.

    Abstract: Devices and apparatuses for inter-device stimulation. A device includes a pair of electrodes. The pair of electrodes is electrically connected to a power source. The pair of electrodes is adapted to apply a current delivered from the power source to stimulate a vagus nerve of a subject. An interelectrode distance between the pair of electrodes is defined based on a predetermined height of a carotid triangle. The power source is communicatively connected to a controller. The controller is configured to send control signals in order to control the current delivered from the power source to the pair of electrodes in a continuous stimulation pattern.
