Programming and Virtual Reality Representation of Stimulation Parameter Groups

A method of visualizing medical therapy associated with an implantable medical device, the method comprising:

• providing a first level user interface for a stimulation program that can be executed on the implantable medical device to provide electrical stimulation for a patient as a part of the medical therapy, wherein the first level user interface is configured to display, and allow an adjustment of, a plurality of stimulation parameters of the stimulation program;
• providing a second level user interface for a stimulation program-set that is a collection of different stimulation programs, wherein the second level user interface is configured to display a plurality of visual abstractions that each correspond to a respective one of the stimulation programs, and wherein each visual abstraction of the stimulation program displays at least one of the stimulation parameters associated with the respective stimulation program;
• and
• providing a third level user interface for a stimulation program-set list that is a collection of different stimulation program-sets, wherein the third level user interface is configured to display a scrollable virtual carousel made up of a plurality of visual abstractions that each correspond to a respective one of the stimulation program-sets, and wherein each visual abstraction of the stimulation program-set displays at least one of:
• a patient-defined stimulation map and a patient-defined pain map.

A method of visualizing medical therapy associated with an implantable medical device, the method comprising:

• displaying, via a first screen of a graphical user interface, a visual representation of a stimulation program that can be executed on the implantable medical device to provide electrical stimulation for a patient as a part of the medical therapy, wherein the visual representation of the stimulation program includes one or more stimulation parameters;
• displaying, via a second screen of the graphical user interface, a visual representation of a stimulation program-set that is a collection of different stimulation programs;
• and
• displaying, via a third screen of the graphical user interface, a visual representation of a stimulation program-set list that is a collection of different stimulation program-sets.
