Patient user interface for a stimulation/block therapy for treatment of type 2 diabetes

A system for stimulating an anatomical element of a patient, comprising:

• an implantable pulse generator configured to generate a current;
• an electrode device comprising:
• a body;
• and
• one or more electrodes disposed on the body and configured to apply the current to a posterior sub diaphragmatic celiac vagal trunk, or an anterior sub diaphragmatic hepatic vagal trunk, of a patient;
• a user interface in communication with the implantable pulse generator, the electrode device, or both, wherein the user interface comprises a first element configured to display information associated with the patient, a second element configured to receive one or more inputs for programming parameters of the current, and a third element configured to display diagnostic information associated with applying the current to the posterior sub diaphragmatic celiac vagal trunk, or the anterior sub diaphragmatic hepatic vagal trunk, of the patient;
• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing data for processing by the processor, wherein the data, when processed, causes the processor to:
• transmit instructions to the implantable pulse generator to adjust glucose levels in the patient by applying the current to the anatomical sub diaphragmatic celiac vagal trunk, or the anterior sub diaphragmatic hepatic vagal trunk, of the patient via the one or more electrodes of the electrode device based at least in part on the one or more inputs entered via the user interface to downregulate neural activity of the posterior sub diaphragmatic celiac vagal trunk, or upregulate neural activity of the anterior sub diaphragmatic hepatic vagal trunk, of the patient.

A system for stimulating an anatomical element of a patient, comprising:

• an implantable pulse generator configured to generate a current;
• an electrode device electrically coupled to the implantable pulse generator, the electrode device comprising:
• a first set of one or more electrodes configured for placement on or around an anterior sub-diaphragmatic hepatic vagal trunk of a patient;
• a second set of one or more electrodes configured for placement on or around a posterior sub-diaphragmatic celiac vagal trunk;
• and
• a user interface in communication with the implantable pulse generator, the electrode device, or both, wherein the user interface comprises a first element configured to display information associated with the patient, a second element configured to receive one or more inputs for programming parameters of the current, and a third element configured to display diagnostic information associated with glucose levels in the patient, wherein the user interface is configured to transmit the programming parameters to the implantable pulse generator, the electrode, or both, to cause:
• the first set of one or more electrodes to apply a first current to the anterior sub-diaphragmatic hepatic vagal trunk of the patient;
• and
• the second set of one or more electrodes to apply a second current to the posterior sub-diaphragmatic celiac vagal trunk,
• to adjust glucose levels in the patient.
