Abstract
A system may be configured for treating a condition and may include at least one therapy delivery system, at least one event detector and a controller. The therapy delivery system(s) may be configured to deliver at least two therapies to at least two therapy targets including deliver a first therapy to a first therapy target and deliver a second therapy to a second therapy target. The event detector(s) may be configured to detect at least one predefined event. The controller may be configured to coordinate the therapies based on the detected predefined event(s) using at least one defined event-therapy relationship.
Claims20
A method for treating a condition, comprising:
- using at least one event detector to detect at least one predefined event;
- using a controller configured to use at least one defined event-therapy relationship and the detected at least one predefined event to coordinate at least two therapies delivered to at least two therapy targets, wherein the at least two therapies include a first therapy delivered to a first therapy target and a second therapy delivered to a second therapy target.
A method, comprising:
- delivering at least two therapies to at least two different therapy targets to provide therapy data for the at least two therapies, wherein the therapy data includes therapy configuration data;
- providing condition data indicative of an effect that the delivered at least two therapies has on a treated condition;
- detecting a plurality of events to compile event data;
- analyzing the event data, the therapy data, and the condition data to:
- determine whether one or more of the at least two therapies are effective in treating the condition when delivered in response to the one or more of the detected plurality of events;
- and
- define one or more event-therapy relationships associating the one or more of the at least two therapies to be delivered in response to the one or more of the detected events.
A system for treating a condition, comprising:
- at least one therapy delivery system configured to deliver at least two therapies to at least two therapy targets including deliver a first therapy to a first therapy target and deliver a second therapy to a second therapy target;
- at least one event detector configured to detect at least one predefined event;
- and
- a controller configured to coordinate the at least two therapies based on the detected at least one predefined event using at least one defined event-therapy relationship.
