  • Publication number: 20240123225
    Abstract: In some examples, a system includes processing circuitry configured to receive a first set of information, the first set of information comprising information of actual therapy delivered to a patient over a plurality of instances of therapy delivery. The processing circuitry may determine, based upon the first set of information, a therapy usage pattern. The processing circuitry may determine a modification to a programmed therapy schedule based on the therapy usage pattern. The processing circuitry may generate for output the modification to the programmed therapy schedule.

  • Publication number: 20220230742
    Abstract: A system for prioritizing patient information associated with one or more patients of a plurality of patients receiving treatment via respective devices of a plurality of medical devices, the system comprising memory and one or more processors coupled to the memory. The one or more processors are configured to receive patient information from each medical device of the plurality of medical devices and select the patient information from a subset of the plurality of medical devices based on one or more importance attributes associated with the patient information. The one or more processors are further configured to prioritize the selected patient information to generate a list of one or more prioritized patients of the plurality of patients and cause an output of an indication of the patient information for the one or more prioritized patients.

  • Patent number: 11369801
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and techniques are described for use in recharging a power source of a cranially mounted implantable medical device. In one example, a wearable medical device includes a flexible body configured to cover at least a portion of a scalp of a head of a patient. A securing member is connected to the flexible body and configured to extend around a circumference of the head to stabilize the flexible body with respect to the scalp of the patient. A fixation member is configured to mount to a location of the flexible body and couple the flexible body to a recharge coil that is configured to recharge the power source of the cranially-mountable implantable medical device.
