Movement disorder therapy system and methods of tuning remotely, intelligently and/or automatically

A movement disorder therapy-tuning system comprising steps of:

• a tuning device further comprising
• at least one interface and at least one processor
• the at least one interface adapted a) for instructing a subject when to perform at least one movement disorder test, b) for automatically inputting a set of parameters into a processor under which a subject's electrical stimulator is operating, c) for inputting scores quantifying at least one motor symptom based on the at least one movement disorder test performed multiple times under multiple sets of operating parameters, the scores being determined by at least one physician, clinician, technician or device with sensors for quantifying symptomatic movement, d) for outputting a tuning map, which at least one of the, or another of a clinician, technician or physician uses to select a new set of operating parameters for the electrical stimulator based at least in part on the tuning map, and e) for outputting the new set of operating parameters to the subject's stimulator device such that the subject's stimulator device can operate under the new set of operating parameters;
• and
• the at least one processor further comprising an algorithm adapted for combining at least the data corresponding to the subject's multiple motor symptom scores, data corresponding to the test parameters from the at least one movement disorder test and/or the multiple sets of operating parameters to generate the tuning map for viewing by the at least one, or another of a clinician, technician and/or physician comprising a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional graph
• wherein the tuning map graphically depicts coded indicators each relating to quantified motor symptom scores, where the indicators are coded by one or more of color, pattern, or number representing each quantified score.
