Abstract
In various embodiments, the present system allows for custom definition of waveforms and waveform segments for neurotherapy. Such custom definition is achieved by using a waveform composer with a user interface that makes it possible for the user to perform the custom definition of potentially very complex patterns of neurostimulation waveforms by creating and editing graphical representations of relatively simple individual building blocks for each of the patterns.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- using one or more computer processors:
- providing a composer graphical user interface (GUI), the composer GUI providing a waveform editor, the waveform editor permitting a user to create a waveform for providing neurostimulation therapy;
- building a composition comprising information on the waveform, the composition in a first format;
- and
- sending the composition to a programmer, the programmer programming an implantable medical device with stimulation parameters in a second format different than the first format, based on the composition.
A system comprising:
- a composer device comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory communicatively coupled to the processor and comprising instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- providing a composer graphical user interface (GUI), the composer GUI providing a waveform editor, the waveform editor permitting a user to create a waveform for providing neurostimulation therapy;
- building a composition comprising information on the waveform, the composition in a first format;
- and
- sending the composition to a programmer, the programmer programming an implantable medical device with stimulation parameters in a second format different than the first format, based on the composition.
A machine-readable medium, comprising instructions, which when performed by a machine, causes the machine to perform operations comprising:
- providing a composer graphical user interface (GUI), the composer GUI providing a waveform editor, the waveform editor permitting a user to create a waveform for providing neurostimulation therapy;
- building a composition comprising information on the waveform, the composition in a first format;
- and
- sending the composition to a programmer, the programmer programming an implantable medical device with stimulation parameters in a second format different than the first format, based on the composition.
