System and method for controlling neurostimulation according to user activity and automated balancing of stimulation program duration

A method of providing neurostimulation to a patient, comprising:

• monitoring activities of the patient using at least one external device, wherein the monitoring comprises obtaining data pertaining to physiological signals of the patient using a wearable device;
• communicating patient activity data to a remote care management system, wherein the remote care management system determines an activity profile for the patient that represents expected times when the patient will engage in a plurality of different activities of the patient;
• storing a plurality of different stimulation programs for use by a neurostimulation system of the patient, wherein each stimulation program is adapted to provide a different stimulation effect on the patient, and wherein the different stimulation programs apply electrical pulses at different frequencies;
• and
• controlling an implantable pulse generator of the neurostimulation system to generate electrical pulses according to ones of the plurality of different stimulation programs with different stimulation effects for application to neural tissue of the patient according to times defined by at least the activity profile of the patient to treat one or more motor disorders of the patient, wherein the controlling comprises:
• retrieving a stimulation scheduling parameter that defines a percentage or length of time for scheduling an identified stimulation program and dynamically adjusting scheduling of the identified stimulation program based on detected activities of the patient subject to scheduling compliance with the stimulation scheduling parameter.
