  • Publication number: 20240108878
    Abstract: Example techniques, devices, and systems are described herein. An example device includes stimulation generation circuitry, sensing circuitry, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to control the stimulation generation circuitry to generate a first stimulation signal having a first stimulation recharge parameter for delivery to target anatomy and receive from the sensing circuitry a sensed evoked response signal. The processing circuitry is configured to analyze the sensed evoked response signal for one or more artifacts and adjust, based on the one or more artifacts, the first stimulation recharge parameter to determine a second stimulation recharge parameter. The processing circuitry is also configured to control the stimulation generation circuitry to generate a second stimulation signal having the second stimulation recharge parameter for delivery to the target anatomy.

  • Publication number: 20230314340
    Abstract: An analyte sensor apparatus for detecting an analyte in a target environment includes a plurality of biotransducers and a controller. The plurality of biotransducers are configured to provide a baseline signal, one or more analyte signals, and at least one error condition signal. The plurality of biotransducers at least one reference biotransducer, one or more working biotransducers, and at least one working as reference biotransducer. The controller is operatively coupled to the plurality of biotransducers and is configured to receive the baseline signal, the one or more analyte signals, and the error correction signal. The controller is further configured to determine and/or output one or more adjusted analyte levels using the baseline signal, the one or more analyte signals, and the error correction signal.

  • Patent number: 11672969
    Abstract: A medical device system for delivering a neuromodulation therapy includes a delivery tool for deploying an implantable medical device at a neuromodulation therapy site. The implantable medical device includes a housing, an electronic circuit within the housing, and an electrical lead comprising a lead body extending between a proximal end coupled to the housing and a distal end extending away from the housing and at least one electrode carried by the lead body. The delivery tool includes a first cavity for receiving the housing and a second cavity for receiving the lead. The first cavity and the second cavity are in direct communication for receiving and deploying the housing and the lead coupled to the housing concomitantly as a single unit.

  • Publication number: 20220296131
    Abstract: The disclosed techniques include applying, using a voltage controller, multiple voltage pulses to a working electrode of a two-electrode sensor probe, and measuring, using a current sensor, the current response to the applied multiple voltage pulses. The techniques also include analyzing, using a processor, the measured current response, and calibrating, using a processor, the current sensor on the basis of the analyzed measured current response. The techniques further include determining, using a processor, a glucose concentration value on the basis of the calibrated current sensor, and transmitting, using a transmitter, the determined glucose concentration value to a receiver.
