  • RESPIRATION SENSING
    Publication number: 20240197200
    Abstract: A device includes a sensor and a control portion. The sensor is securable to a patient to provide a sensor signal. The sensor is to sense changes in acceleration indicative of respiration of the patient. The control portion is to determine a midpoint of each respiratory phase of the patient based on the sensor signal.

  • IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES
    Publication number: 20230166113
    Abstract: One example of an implantable medical device includes an output signal driver, a first electrode, a second electrode, and a controller. The output signal driver is configured to generate stimulation pulses to stimulate a nerve within a patient. The first electrode is coupled to the output signal driver. The second electrode is coupled to the output signal driver. The controller is configured to control the output signal driver to selectively apply between the first electrode and the second electrode a first pulse train and a second pulse train interleaved with the first pulse train.
