  • Publication number: 20250010061
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing curated neurostimulation where users are enabled to provide improved therapy in a home environment. Stimulation protocols can be assessed to provide improved targeted stimulation of a nerve and less unwanted side effects. Sets of stimulation montages and associated weights are defined and are selected or adjusted in pre-defined using pre-defined operations that simplify adjustment of characteristics of the stimulation field such as the geometry and location of the provided stimulation. Stimulation matrix pads are arranged and activated to provide advantages. Strategies for adjusting the intensity of the stimulation field incorporate weighting values in non-primary channels and are disclosed. Curated neurostimulation can provide defined schedules for events and activities related to the therapy such as providing schedules for stimulation treatment, surveying a user, providing education and remote user support.

  • Patent number: 11890470
    Abstract: An example of a system for programming a neurostimulator may include a storage device and a user interface. The storage device may be configured to store waveform building blocks. The user interface may include a display screen, a user input device, and an interface control circuit. The interface control circuit may include a waveform composer configured to allow for composition of one of more building blocks and composition of a pattern of neurostimulation pulses using selected one or more waveform building blocks. The waveform composer may include a library controller and waveform building block editors. The library controller may be configured to display a library management area on the screen. The displayed library management area allows a user to manage the stored waveform building blocks. The waveform building block editors may each be configured to allow the user to compose a type of the waveform building blocks.
