Patent number: 11957490Abstract: Disclosed are techniques including accessing historical physiological data of a person; presenting a graph view of a historical time period, where the graph view includes at least a portion of the historical physiological data plotted over the historical time period and includes one or more historical events which occurred during the historical time period; receiving user input indicative of a marker for an event, of the one or more historical events, being adjusted from a first position in the historical time period to a second position in the historical time period; responsive to receiving the user input, accessing adjusted physiological data for the person from at least the time point in the historical time period to an end of the historical time period, where the adjusted physiological data has been determined based on the adjusted marker for the event marker and a physiological model for the person; and presenting the adjusted physiological data.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Medtronic MiniMed, Inc.Inventors: Brent A. Huhta, Jake T. Roerig, Brandon J. Plantage, Melonie Hedlund, Christine D. Schulz

Patent number: 8996123Abstract: Various programming techniques are described for medical devices that deliver electrical stimulation therapy that may include mapping between discrete electrical stimulation parameters and a graphical view of the electrical stimulation representing a stimulation zone generated by the parameters. In one example, a method includes receiving, via a programmer for an electrical stimulator, user input that graphically manipulates at least one of size and a shape of a graphical representation of at least one electrical stimulation zone displayed on the programmer, and defining a program to control delivery of electrical stimulation therapy based on the user input.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2010Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Steven M. Goetz, Jon P. Davis, Nathan A. Torgerson, Shyam Gokaldas, Ashish Singal, Rajeev M. Sahasrabudhe, Brent A. Huhta

Patent number: 8744591Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for obtaining an image of an anatomical implant region where leads associated with an implantable medical device are implanted in a patient, manipulating the image to show lead locations and placements, performing necessary image compression and manipulations, adjusting the image to associate it with information (e.g., patient, metadata, annotations, etc.) useful to a subsequent programmer retrieving the image, and transferring a copy of the captured image to the implantable medical device. The image stored in the implantable medical device may be retrieved at a later time by a user of programmer, where the user can use the image and other associated information to program subsequent therapy.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2010Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Jon P. Davis, Steven M. Goetz, Nathan A. Torgerson, Wende L. Dewing, Ashish Singal, Lynn A. Davenport, Rajeev M. Sahasrabudhe, Brent A. Huhta

Publication number: 20140081354Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for combining an image of a region defined by the user to receive stimulation therapy with an image of representation of leads which will deliver the therapy to the defined region, and importing the combined image on an implantable medical device connected to the leads that will deliver the stimulation therapy. During the process of combining the images, the user manipulates one or both of the images to combine the image such that the leads are placed for accurate therapy delivery. In some examples where more than one region is to receive stimulation therapy, each region can have a different image and/or a different set of leads associated therewith, and a combined image of each region may be produced, manipulated, and imported on the implantable medical device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2013Publication date: March 20, 2014Applicant: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Jon P. Davis, Steven M. Goetz, Ashish Singal, Lynn A. Davenport, Dennis J. Bourget, Rajeev M. Sahasrabudhe, Brent A. Huhta, Shanthi Kandikonda, Jason D. Rahn

Patent number: 8560080Abstract: Techniques are described, for medical devices that deliver electrical stimulation therapy, for controlling a transition from an initial stimulation location or initial stimulation shape to a user-specified target stimulation location or target stimulation shape in order to limit the rate of change of stimulation. One example method includes receiving, via a programmer for an electrical stimulator, user input indicating a target stimulation zone, and controlling the electrical stimulator to transition electrical stimulation from an initial stimulation zone to the target stimulation zone via one or more intermediate stimulation zones.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2011Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Steven M. Goetz, Rajeev M. Sahasrabudhe, Jon P. Davis, Brent A. Huhta, Ashish Singal

Publication number: 20110270358Abstract: A programming device includes a touchscreen display, a processor, and a communication module. The processor controls the display to present a graphical icon on a first portion of the display. The processor detects a gesture-based contact between an object and the first portion of the display and determines a value of a therapy parameter associated with therapy delivered by a medical device based on the detection of the gesture-based contact. The communication module transmits information to the medical device to control the medical device to deliver the therapy based on the value of the therapy parameter.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2011Publication date: November 3, 2011Applicant: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Jon P. Davis, Dennis J. Bourget, Brent A. Huhta, Rajeev M. Sahasrabudhe
