Publication number: 20250072811Abstract: Devices, systems, and techniques are disclosed for managing electrical stimulation therapy and/or sensing of physiological signals such as brain signals. For example, a system may assist a clinician in identifying one or more electrode combinations for sensing a brain signal. In another example, a user interface may display brain signal information and values of a stimulation parameter at least partially defining electrical stimulation delivered to a patient when the brain signal information was sensed.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2024Publication date: March 6, 2025Inventors: Evan D. Schnell, Scott R. Stanslaski, Ilan D. Gordon, Steven M. Goetz, Hijaz M. Haris, Eric J. Panken, Timothy R. Abraham, Thomas L. Chouinard, Susan Heilman Kilbane, Karan Chitkara, Christopher M. Arnett, Alicia W. Thompson, Kevin C. Johnson, Ankush Thakur, Lukas Valine, Christopher L. Pulliam, Brady N. Fetting, Rucha Gokul G. Samant, Andrew H. Houchins, Caleb C. Zarns

Patent number: 12036410Abstract: A medical device or system of medical devices can be configured to detect an indicator of a symptom in a patient; in response to detecting the indicator of the symptom in the patient, deliver to the patient a first stimulation therapy; and in response to determining that the indicator of the symptom has been present for more than a threshold amount of time after beginning to deliver the first stimulation therapy a second stimulation therapy different than the first stimulation therapy.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2020Date of Patent: July 16, 2024Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: David E. Linde, Benjamin P. Isaacson, Nicholas D. Buse, Duane L. Bourget, Robert S. Raike, Jonathon E. Giftakis, Caleb C. Zarns, Thomas L. Chouinard

Publication number: 20230069981Abstract: An example system includes stimulation generation circuitry configured to deliver electrical stimulation to a patient; sensing circuitry configured to sense one or more biomarker signals; and processing circuitry configured to: cause delivery of electrical stimulation with the patient in a first patient state; receive a first instance of a biomarker signal in presence of the electrical stimulation with the patient in the first patient state; cause delivery of electrical stimulation with the patient in a second patient state; receive a second instance of the biomarker signal in presence of the electrical stimulation with the patient in the second patient state; determine whether a difference between the first instance of the biomarker signal and the second instance of the biomarker signal satisfies a threshold; select a therapy mode based on whether the difference satisfies the threshold; and cause delivery of electrical stimulation in accordance with the selected therapy mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2022Publication date: March 9, 2023Inventors: Benjamin P. Isaacson, Scott R. Stanslaski, Abbey Beuning Holt Becker, Rene A. Molina, Caleb C. Zarns, David E. Linde, Nicholas D. Buse, Thaddeus S. Brink

Publication number: 20220387802Abstract: Devices, systems, and techniques for monopolar recording of sensed electrical signals are disclosed. An example device includes sensing circuitry configured to sense electrical signals from a first plurality of electrode combinations, each of the first plurality of electrode combinations comprising a same reference electrode of the plurality of electrodes and at least one different sense electrode of the plurality of electrodes, the plurality of electrodes being associated with one or more leads. The example device includes processing circuitry configured to record the sensed electrical signals from the first plurality of electrode combinations. The processing circuitry is also configured to provide representations of the recorded sensed electrical signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2022Publication date: December 8, 2022Inventors: Michelle A. Case, Scott R. Stanslaski, Caleb C. Zarns
