Abstract

A method of managing titration using a management device for a patient implanted with a neurostimulator is provided. The method comprises: receiving, from the neurostimulator, a current titration schedule of a titration being provided to the patient by the neurostimulator; displaying a user interface on a display of the management device, the user interface including an indication of at least a portion of the current titration schedule, the user interface including one or more selectable options for modifying the titration; receiving a selection of the one or more selectable options via the user interface; generating a modified titration schedule of the titration based on the selection; and transmitting the modified titration schedule to the neurostimulator.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method of managing titration using a management device for a patient implanted with a neurostimulator, comprising:
receiving, from the neurostimulator, a current titration schedule of a titration being provided to the patient by the neurostimulator; displaying a user interface on a display of the management device, the user interface including an indication of at least a portion of the current titration schedule, the user interface including one or more selectable options for modifying the titration; receiving a selection of the one or more selectable options via the user interface; generating a modified titration schedule of the titration based on the selection; and transmitting the modified titration schedule to the neurostimulator.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the current titration schedule for the patient comprises receiving, from the neurostimulator, the current titration schedule for the patient in real-time or near real-time.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the current titration schedule is received from the neurostimulator in real-time or near real-time via a Wi-Fi connection.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more selectable options allow a user to modify at least one of starting stimulation values, target stimulation values, or a period for the titration.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the one or more selectable options include at least two of a first button associated with a low aggressiveness profile, a second button associated with a medium aggressiveness profile, or a third button associated with a high aggressiveness profile.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface further includes an indicator indicating whether stimulation is currently being provided to the patient, the indicator comprising a marker that slides along a bar having an OFF section and an ON section.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface further includes a field indicating when a next titration step will be applied to the patient.

8 . A management device for managing titration for a patient implanted with a neurostimulator, comprising:
a display; a processor; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the management device to:
receive, from the neurostimulator, a current titration schedule of a titration being provided to the patient by the neurostimulator;
display, by the display, a user interface including an indication of at least a portion of the current titration schedule, the user interface including one or more selectable options for modifying the titration;
receive a selection of the one or more selectable options;
generate a modified titration schedule of the titration based on the selection; and
transmit the modified titration schedule to the neurostimulator.

9 . The management device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions cause the management device to receive, from the neurostimulator, the current titration schedule for the patient in real-time or near real-time.

10 . The management device of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the current titration schedule or other data is received from the neurostimulator in real-time or near real-time via a Bluetooth connection.

11 . The management device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more selectable options allow a user to modify at least one of starting stimulation values, target stimulation values, or a period for the titration.

12 . The management device of claim 8 , wherein one or more selectable options include a first button associated with a low aggressiveness profile, a second button associated with a medium aggressiveness profile, and a third button associated with a high aggressiveness profile.

13 . The management device of claim 8 , wherein the user interface further includes an indicator indicating whether stimulation is currently being provided to the patient.

14 . The management device of claim 13 , wherein the indicator comprises a marker that slides along a bar having an OFF section and an ON section.

15 . The management device of claim 8 , wherein the user interface further includes a field indicating when a next titration step will occur.

16 . The management device of claim 8 , wherein the user interface further includes an indicator configured to display a percentage of a current stimulation intensity compared to a maximum stimulation intensity that the neurostimulator is configured to deliver to the patient.

17 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions executable by a processor to:
receive, from a neurostimulator, a current titration schedule of a titration being provided to a patient by the neurostimulator; display a user interface on a display, the user interface including an indication of at least a portion of the current titration schedule, the user interface including one or more selectable options for modifying the titration; receive a selection of the one or more selectable options; generate a modified titration schedule of the titration based on the selection; and transmit the modified titration schedule to the neurostimulator.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the instructions are executable by the processor to receive, from the neurostimulator, data for the patient in real-time or near real-time, the data including the current titration schedule.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the data is received from the neurostimulator in real-time or near real-time via a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connection.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the user interface further includes an indicator indicating whether, based on data received in real-time or near real-time, stimulation is currently being delivered to the patient.
