US 2026/0272376 A1 · NEUROSTIMULATION PROGRAMMING AND TRIAGE BASED ON FREEFORM TEXT INPUTS

Abstract

Systems and techniques are disclosed to evaluate a neurostimulation treatment provided from a neurostimulation device, based on freeform text analysis. In an example, a system or device to evaluate a neurostimulation treatment provided from a neurostimulation device is configured to perform operations that: obtain text content, originating from text or voice input of a human patient, which relates to a state of a human patient; identify a state of the human patient from natural language processing of the text content; obtain device data from the neurostimulation device; identify a state of the neurostimulation treatment of the human patient from the device data; associate the identified state of the human patient to the identified state of the neurostimulation treatment; and initiate an action for the neurostimulation treatment, based on the identified state of the human patient that is associated with the identified state of the neurostimulation treatment.

Dependent claims

A computer system for use to evaluate a neurostimulation treatment provided from a neurostimulation device, the computer system comprising:

at least one processor;
and
at least one memory including instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computer system to:
obtain freeform text content provided from a human patient;
initiate natural language processing of the freeform text content to identify at least one statement of the human patient related to the neurostimulation treatment;
generate a sentiment value for the at least one statement based on lexical analysis;
identify a patient state by comparing the sentiment value to sentiment value ranges that respectively indicate a negative sentiment, a neutral sentiment, or a positive sentiment;
retrieve device data produced from the neurostimulation device that corresponds to a time period associated with the at least one statement;
identify a treatment state by evaluating active neurostimulation device operations in the device data produced during the time period;
and
initiate an action for the neurostimulation treatment with use of the neurostimulation device, based on the patient state and the treatment state.

8 more elements

A method for evaluating a neurostimulation treatment provided from a neurostimulation device, the method comprising a plurality of operations executed with at least one processor of a computer system, the plurality of operations comprising:

receiving freeform text content provided from a human patient;
processing the freeform text content with natural language processing to identify at least one statement of the human patient related to the neurostimulation treatment;
generating a sentiment value for the at least one statement based on lexical analysis;
identifying a patient state by comparing the sentiment value to sentiment value ranges that respectively indicate a negative sentiment, a neutral sentiment, or a positive sentiment;
retrieving device data produced from the neurostimulation device that corresponds to a time period associated with the at least one statement;
identifying a treatment state by evaluating active neurostimulation device operations in the device data produced during the time period;
and
initiating an action for the neurostimulation treatment with use of the neurostimulation device, based on the patient state and the treatment state.
