Abstract
A system for stimulating body tissue may include a user interface and a control unit. The control unit may include a processor and non-transitory computer readable medium. The non-transitory computer readable medium may store instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to identify an electrode combination and determine a threshold charge for use in stimulating the body tissue. The processors identifications and determinations may be based at least partially on input received via the user interface.
Claims20
A system for stimulating body tissue, the system comprising:
- at least one sensor configured to be affixed to, or inserted in, a body to measure airway pressure, airway flowrate, transpulmonary pressure, tidal volume, lung gas distribution, transdiaphragmatic pressure, or a combination thereof;
- a stimulation array;
- a user interface;
- and
- a control unit including a processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to identify an electrode combination of the stimulation array;
- wherein identifying an electrode combination of the stimulation array includes receiving an input via the user interface, the at least one sensor, or both, and the input relates to whether a requisite stimulation was detected.
A system for stimulating body tissue, the system comprising:
- at least one sensor configured to be affixed to, or inserted in, a body to measure one or more physiological parameters of the body;
- a stimulation array;
- a user interface;
- and
- a control unit including a processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to identify an electrode combination of the stimulation array;
- wherein identifying an electrode combination of the stimulation array includes:
- selecting a first set of electrode combinations;
- stimulating from all electrode combinations of the first set of electrode combinations;
- for each stimulation from an electrode combination of the first set of electrode combinations, receiving an input via the user interface, the at least one sensor, or both, and the input relates to whether a requisite stimulation was detected;
- relating a corresponding input to each electrode combination of the first set of electrode combinations;
- and
- selecting a second set of electrode combinations, wherein the second set of electrode combinations is a subset of the first set of electrode combinations, and each electrode combination of the second set of electrode combinations corresponds to one input that the requisite stimulation was detected.
A system for stimulating body tissue, the system comprising:
- at least one sensor configured to be affixed to, or inserted in, a body to measure one or more physiological parameters of the body;
- a stimulation array;
- a user interface comprising:
- an anatomical indication window;
- one or more stimulation level indication windows;
- and
- a control unit including a processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to identify an electrode combination of the stimulation array;
- wherein identifying an electrode combination of the stimulation array includes:
- prompting a user, via the user interface, to provide feedback on whether a requisite stimulation was detected;
- and
- receiving an input on whether the requisite stimulation was detected via the user interface.
