Abstract: A system and/or method involving establishing, via a guide tool, a stimulation element in a first position within a first vessel of a vasculature which is in communication with a second vessel of the vasculature, identifying, via angularly positioning of an elongate arm relative to a distal elongate portion of the guide tool, an entry region into the second vessel from the first vessel, and maneuvering the stimulation element through the entry region and to a second position within the second vessel via the guide tool.
Abstract: Methods and systems provide for receiving, at a remote server, first data and a first sharing key acquired from a first processor associated with a first medical practice, and receiving, at the remote server, second data and a second sharing key acquired from a second processor associated with a second medical practice. The methods and systems provide for comparing, by the remote server, the first sharing key to the second sharing key, and granting, to the first and second processors by the remote server, access to the first and second data stored in the remote server in response to a successful comparison of the first and second sharing keys. The methods and systems provide for sharing, by the remote server, the first and second data with the first and second processors in response to the grant of access.
Abstract: A method comprises establishing communication between a therapy device implantable in a patient and a consumer electronic device operable by the patient. The method comprises controlling, by the consumer electronic device, a predetermined set of therapy device functions in response to patient inputs to the consumer electronic device. The method also comprises transmitting therapy data from the therapy device to the consumer electronic device. The method further comprises presenting therapy data on a display of the consumer electronic device.
Abstract: An apparatus includes an implantable stimulator to treat sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and at least one electrode associated with the stimulator.

Abstract: A system and method for treating sleep apnea includes inserting an implantable pulse generator subcutaneously within a body of a patient and connecting a lead to the pulse generator. The lead is inserted within the vasculature and advanced transvenously through the vasculature until a stimulation portion of the lead becomes positioned in close proximity to the hypoglossal nerve. A nerve-stimulation signal is applied to the hypoglossal nerve via the stimulation portion of the lead.

Abstract: An electrode cuff includes a first elongate portion and a second elongate portion. The first elongate portion is configured to removably contact a length of a nerve while the second elongate portion extends outwardly at an angle relative to a first side edge of the first elongate portion to at least partially wrap about the nerve. The electrode cuff includes a first series of electrodes that is spaced apart longitudinally along the first elongate portion. A width of the second elongate portion is sized to fit between adjacent branches extending from a nerve.
