  • Patent number: 11896817
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for controlling a deep brain stimulation system. Internal sensor data is received for a group of internal parameters that relate to an operation of the deep brain stimulation system. The internal sensor data is generated by an internal sensor system. External sensor data is received for a group of external parameters for an environment around the device. The external sensor data is generated by an external sensor system. The internal sensor data and the external sensor data are analyzed with aggregated internal sensor data and aggregated external sensor data for deep brain stimulation systems of a same class as the deep brain stimulation system to generate results. An operation of the device is controlled based on the results.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11809149
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for controlling a device. A device control system comprises a computer system and a controller in the computer system. The controller receives internal sensor data for a group of internal parameters generated by an internal sensor system that senses the group of internal parameters within the device that relate to an operation of the device and receive external sensor data for a group of external parameters generated by an external sensor system that senses the group of external parameters in an environment around the device that relate to the operation of the device. The controller sends the internal sensor data and the external sensor data for an analysis with aggregated internal sensor data and aggregated external sensor data for devices of a same class as the device to generate results. The controller controls the operation of the device based on the results of the analysis.
