Estimation of electroporation parameter levels

A system comprising:

• at least one data input interface configured to receive data indicative of a pose of a medical device relative to a body portion of a recipient, the medical device comprising a plurality of electrodes configured to apply electroporation signals to the body portion;
• at least one controller in operative communication with the at least one data input interface, the at least one controller configured to:
• access anatomical model data of the body portion;
• in response at least in part to the anatomical model data and the data indicative of the pose of the medical device, generate estimated first electrical parameter values at a target region of the body portion and estimated second electrical parameter values at a non-target region of the body portion resulting from electrical signals applied to the plurality of electrodes;
• and
• generate an evaluation of whether the estimated first electrical parameter values are sufficient for electroporating the target region and/or the estimated second electrical parameter values are insufficient for damaging the non-target region;
• and
• at least one output interface in operative communication with the at least one controller, the at least one output interface configured to provide information indicative of the evaluation.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program that instructs a computer system to provide real-time information regarding electroporation to be applied by electrodes of a device to first cells of a body portion of a recipient during and/or after implantation of the device on and/or within the body portion by at least:

• receiving information regarding a pose of the device relative to the body portion during and/or after implantation of the device;
• estimating, in response at least in part to the information, first interactions of the electrodes with respect to the first cells;
• estimating, in response at least in part to the information, second interactions of the electrodes with respect to second cells different from the first cells;
• and
• generating, in response at least in part to the estimated first interactions and the estimated second interactions, values of electrical parameters configured to be provided to the plurality of electrodes to electroporate to the first cells while not damaging the second cells.
