Abstract
A neurological control system for modulating activity of any component or structure comprising the entirety or portion of the nervous system, or any structure interfaced thereto, generally referred to herein as a “nervous system component.” The neurological control system generates neural modulation signals delivered to a nervous system component through one or more neuromodulators to control neurological state and prevent neurological signs and symptoms. Such treatment parameters may be derived from a neural response to previously delivered neural modulation signals sensed by one or more sensors, each configured to sense a particular characteristic indicative of a neurological or psychiatric condition.
Claims20
A system for monitoring a subject, the system comprising:
- an acoustic sensor;
- an accelerometer;
- and
- a recording device coupled to the acoustic sensor and the accelerometer, wherein the recording device:
- collects acoustic data from the acoustic sensor and acceleration data from the accelerometer;
- measures a progression of a neurological disease of a subject using the acoustic data and the acceleration data;
- and
- records progression data indicating the progression of the neurological disease.
A system for monitoring a subject, the system comprising:
- an acoustic sensor;
- an accelerometer;
- a recording device coupled to the acoustic sensor and the accelerometer, wherein the recording device collects acoustic data from the acoustic sensor and acceleration data from the accelerometer;
- and
- an external device, wherein the external device:
- receives the acoustic data and the acceleration data from the recording device;
- measures a progression of a neurological disease of a subject using the acoustic data and the acceleration data;
- and
- records progression data indicating the progression of the neurological disease.
A method of monitoring a subject, the method comprising:
- collecting acoustic data from an acoustic sensor;
- collecting acceleration data from a accelerometer;
- measuring, by a device implanted within a subject, a progression of a neurological disease of the subject using the acoustic data and the acceleration data;
- and
- recording, by the device, progression data indicating the progression of the neurological disease.
