Abstract
An external control device, a neurostimulation system, and a method for providing therapy to a patient are provided. A plurality of stimulation parameter sets are defined, electrical stimulation energy is serially conveyed to tissue of the patient in accordance with the plurality of stimulation parameter sets, a historical log file is stored, and the plurality of stimulation parameter sets are logged in the historical log file.
Claims21
(canceled)
A system comprising:
- a user interface including a display screen and one or more stimulation parameter controls configured for being actuated by a user to define or adjust a stimulation parameter set;
- a memory configured for storing a historical log file of stimulation events including stimulation parameter sets for the stimulation events;
- and
- a controller configured to log a stimulation event in the historical log file when a stimulation parameter set is defined or adjusted, including logging stimulation parameter values for the stimulation event in the historical log file, wherein the system is configured to display information icons on the display screen, the information icons being associated with respective stimulation events in the historical log file of stimulation events, each information icon being selectable to display the stimulation parameter values associated with the respective stimulation event.
A method, comprising:
- programming a stimulation parameter set;
- storing a historical log file of stimulation events including stimulation parameter sets for the stimulation events;
- logging the plurality of stimulation parameter sets in the historical log file, including automatically logging a stimulation event in the historical log file when the stimulation parameter set is programmed;
- displaying the historical log file including stimulation events;
- and
- displaying information icons associated with respective stimulation events in the displayed historical log file of stimulation events, wherein each information icon is selectable to display the stimulation parameter values associated with the respective stimulation event.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:
- store a historical log file of stimulation events including stimulation parameter sets for the stimulation events;
- and
- log the plurality of stimulation parameter sets in the historical log file, including:
- automatically logging a stimulation event in the historical log file when a parameter set is defined or adjusted by a user;
- instruct a user interface to display the historical log file including stimulation events;
- and
- instruct the user interface to display information icons associated with respective stimulation events stimulation events in the displayed historical log file of stimulation events, wherein each information icon is selectable to display the stimulation parameter values associated with the respective stimulation event.
