  • Patent number: 9764132
    Abstract: A method of optimizing the electrical stimulation of a bladder of a patient including selecting a first subset of electrodes from a set of electrodes positioned adjacent to a set of nerves associated with the bladder. The set of electrodes may include one or more electrodes, each of which may be configured to deliver electrical stimulation pulses generated by a stimulator device to the nerves. The method may further include delivering an electrical stimulation pulse through the selected first subset of electrodes and recording at least one parameter of the electrical stimulation pulse after receiving patient feedback.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9149631
    Abstract: Systems and methods facilitate placement of a lead in or on a patient's heart. At least one reference sensor is positioned at a right heart location of a patient's heart and a cardiac lead apparatus comprising at least one lead apparatus sensor is advanced to a plurality of left heart locations. Using the reference sensor and the lead apparatus sensor, a distance parameter indicative of a distance between the reference and lead apparatus sensors is measured for each of the plurality of left heart locations. Strain or stress estimates are determined for the plurality of left heart locations derived from the distance parameter measurements. Using the strain or stress estimates, a physician perceivable output is produced indicating suitability of the left heart locations as pacing sites.
