Devices and methods for nerve stimulation

A system for nerve stimulation comprising:

• a nerve stimulation device configured to receive a nerve stimulation data packet comprising a set of nerve stimulation instructions for a complete series of one or more electrical pulses to deliver to a patient, the nerve stimulation device comprising
• a housing,
• an electrical pulse generator configured to generate the complete series of one or more electrical pulses,
• at least two electrical conductors extending from the housing each adapted to be connected to an electrode attachable to a body part of the patient at a location separated from the housing, wherein the electrodes are adapted for applying the complete series of one or more electrical pulses to the body part of the patient, wherein the at least two electrical conductors are insulated conductive wires,
• a connector extending from the housing connected to an acceleration sensor, wherein the acceleration sensor is adapted for attachment to the body part of the patient at the location separated from the housing and to detect movements of the body part as a result of the one or more electrical pulses, and
• processing circuitry configured (1) to cause the electrical pulse generator to generate the complete series of one or more electrical pulses according to the nerve stimulation instructions in the nerve stimulation data packet, (2) to receive a signal from the acceleration sensor, the signal indicating the movements of the body part, and (3) to convert the signal into a set of one or more acceleration measurements;
• a user electronic device configured to generate and send the nerve stimulation data packet wirelessly to the nerve stimulation device, and to receive from the nerve stimulation device an acceleration measurement data packet comprising the set of one or more acceleration measurements produced by the processing circuitry;
• and
• a short range wireless communication transceiver in the nerve stimulation device configured to (1) receive the nerve stimulation data packet comprising the nerve stimulation instructions from the user electronic device, and (2) send the acceleration data packet comprising the set of one or more acceleration measurements produced by the processing circuitry to the user electronic device.
