Interactive electrical stimulator device and server-based support system

A system for providing electrical stimulation therapy to a patient, comprising:

• a portable electro-therapy device having a modem, a microprocessor configured to generate and control output signals, an electrode jack and a plurality of electrodes operatively connected to the electrode jack and configured to transmit the output signals to the patient;
• and
• a server-based support system including an application server configured to provide authorized users with an interface to the server-based support system, a resources server configured to securely store patient data and a modem bank,
• wherein the modem and the modem bank are configured to provide communication between the portable electro-therapy device and the server-based support system.

A method for providing electrical stimulation therapy to a patient, comprising the steps of:

• downloading a therapy protocol from a server-based support system to a portable electro-therapy device;
• calculating, with a microprocessor of the portable electro-therapy device, electrical stimulation output signals based upon the downloaded therapy protocol;
• transmitting the electrical stimulation output signals to a patient through a plurality of electrodes connected to the portable electro-therapy device;
• uploading device data from the portable electro-therapy device to the server-based support system;
• and
• providing the device data to authorized users of the server-based support system through an application interface.
