Assisted programming system for neural stimulation therapy

A neurostimulation system comprising:

• a neurostimulation device for controllably delivering a neural stimulus, the neurostimulation device comprising:
• a stimulus source configured to deliver neural stimuli via one or more stimulus electrodes of a plurality of implanted electrodes to a neural pathway of a patient;
• and
• a control unit configured to control the stimulus source to deliver the neural stimuli according to a stimulus intensity parameter;
• and
• an external computing device in communication with the neurostimulation device, the external computing device comprising:
• a display configured to receive user interactions, and
• a processor configured to:
• render a plurality of switch controls on the display, each switch control corresponding to a predetermined stimulus electrode configuration of the one or more stimulus electrodes;
• instruct, on receiving an activation of one of the switch controls by a user, the control unit to control the stimulus source to deliver the neural stimuli via the corresponding predetermined stimulus electrode configuration;
• and
• instruct, on receiving a de-activation of one of the switch controls by a user, the control unit to control the stimulus source to cease delivering the neural stimuli via the corresponding predetermined stimulus electrode configuration.
