Abstract: Various embodiments of the present subject matter use health-related information to improve the monitoring and treatment provided to remotely managed patient populations by generating patient states to simplify the triaging of patient conditions. In an example, the system can receive from a user via a user interface, criteria related to one or more goals to accomplish while receiving therapy to treat a condition. The system can translate, by at least one hardware processor, the criteria related to the one or more goals to a state-based classification defining a plurality of patient states defined by a plurality of parameters and receive a first set of parameter values. The system can further identify a first patient state from among the plurality of patient states using the first set of parameter values and generate an output including the first patient state.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present subject matter use health-related information to improve the monitoring and treatment provided to remotely managed patient populations by generating patient states to simplify the triaging of patient conditions. In an example, the system can monitor and analyze data, and can include identifying a first patient state from among a plurality of patient states, the plurality of patient states being defined by a state-based goal classification; identifying a second patient state from the plurality of patient states; capturing a change in patient state; and providing a monitoring platform to monitor the change in the patient state. In further examples, adaptive measures can be implemented to account for missing or withheld patient-related data used to generate patient states.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and implementing customized recommendations as part of closed-loop neurostimulation programming and device configuration approaches are disclosed. In an example, a system is configured to: identify, with a recommendation model (e.g., a closed-loop programming algorithm), a programming setting for use in a neurostimulation device that controls neurostimulation treatment of a patient; communicate, to a patient device (e.g., a patient smartphone), a command to present a recommendation to use the programming setting; and communicate, to the patient device, data values associated with the programming setting, to reconfigure the neurostimulation device according to the programming setting. In various examples, a medical user interface enables a medical user (e.g., clinician) to customize the recommendation, and a patient user interface enables a patient to view and use the recommendation.

Abstract: A system to analyze data for neurostimulation programming may include capabilities to collect and analyze relevant input data (training data) for training a neurostimulation programming model. In an example, the system may: determine usage of a particular neurostimulation treatment, for a neurostimulation treatment that is associated with a set of parameters used by a neurostimulation device to deliver neurostimulation to a patient; evaluate patient feedback data (e.g., obtained from the patient) associated with the usage of the neurostimulation treatment; calculate, based on the patient feedback data, an amount of training data required to perform training operations on a programming selection model, with such training data being provided at least in part from the patient feedback data and optionally device data.

Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods for managing pain of a subject. A system includes a first sensor circuit to sense a first signal indicative of a functional state of the subject, a second sensor circuit to sense a second signal different from the first signal, and a controller circuit. The controller circuit may determine an operating mode of the second sensor circuit according to the sensed first signal, trigger the second senor circuit to sense the second signal under the determined operating mode, and generate a pain score using at least the second signal sensed under the determined operating mode. The pain score may be output to a patient or used for closed-loop control of a pain therapy.

The patient system may include a patient device having a user interface configured to enable patient interaction by the patient with the patient system. The patient system may include a triage system configured to select a triage tier from two or more triage tiers available for selection and indicative of a priority ranking for patient intervention. The triage system may be configured to use both the interaction and the condition to select the triage tier.

Abstract: This document discusses systems, devices, and methods for monitoring and managing patients with chronic pain. A patient monitoring system comprises a sensor circuit to sense a physiological or functional signal indicative of or correlated to patient mobility, an electrostimulator to generate and deliver neuromodulation therapy to the patient, and a controller circuit to generate a mobility metric using the sensed physiological or functional signal. The mobility metric represents respective times spent in different activity intensity levels associated with one or more types of activities during a specific time period. The controller circuit can trend the mobility metric over time and determine a progress toward a personalized mobility goal of the patient, and control the electrostimulator to initiate or adjust the neuromodulation therapy in accordance with the trended mobility metric or the determined progress toward the mobility goal.
