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

Publication number: 20240299757Abstract: A user interface of a computing device for programming a medical device configured to review historical user session data while disconnected from the medical device. During a programming session, the user interface on the computing device may include features to control the functionality of the medical device as well as view and manipulate available data stored at the medical device. The user interface may interactively view screens and features and manipulate data using the programming user interface, e.g., as if the external programming device were in a live programming session with the medical device, but while disconnected from the medical device and not in a live programming session. As one example, the user interface of the external programming device may permit flexible, extensive manipulation and viewing of sensed signals, patient events, and operational information, such as patient adjustments made over time or coincident with particular signals or events.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2024Publication date: September 12, 2024Inventors: Thomas L. Chouinard, Evan D. Schnell, Karan Chitkara, Lukas Valine, Ilan D. Gordon
