US Patent:
7082333, Jul 25, 2006
Filed:
Apr 27, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/560064
Inventors:
Ruth Elinor Bauhahn - Fridley MN, US
John W. Forsberg - St. Paul MN, US
Steven James Nelson - Wyoming MN, US
Assignee:
Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
A61N 1/34
US Classification:
607 60, 607 32, 607 57, 604891, 600300
Abstract:
An apparatus and method that allows a patient to access stored preset patient therapy programs, that are resident in a medical device, and to create personalized therapy programs or automatic timing therapy programs from preset therapy programs to accommodate the patient's particular activity. Alternatively, the patient can select and access stored preset patient therapy programs and combine at least two modified or unmodified preset therapy programs to create personalized therapy programs.

Context-Sensitive Collection Of Neurostimulation Therapy Data

View page
US Patent:
7647116, Jan 12, 2010
Filed:
Mar 13, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/388798
Inventors:
Ruth E. Bauhahn - Fridley MN, US
Assignee:
Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
A61N 1/08
US Classification:
607 48, 607 59
Abstract:
Techniques for collection and management of data relating to neurostimulation therapy involve selection of questions for the user to answer based on the context of the therapy delivered by the neurostimulation device at the time the questions are presented. In this manner, appropriate data may be collected for specific contexts. The techniques may involve storage of answers to the questions with information indicative of the contexts. Information indicative of the contexts may include information relating to the types of neurostimulation therapy requests made by the patient, stimulation settings associated with the neurostimulation therapy, and data and time information. The techniques may be implemented by neurostimulation therapy interface device such as a patient programmer that controls operation of an implanted neurostimulation device.

Context-Sensitive Collection Of Neurostimulation Therapy Data

US Patent:
7647117, Jan 12, 2010
Filed:
Jan 12, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/331388
Inventors:
Ruth E. Bauhahn - Fridley MN, US
Assignee:

International Classification:

Global Parameter Adjustment For Multiple Stimulation Programs

View page
US Patent:
7747330, Jun 29, 2010
Filed:
Mar 9, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/372354
Inventors:
Joseph J. Nolan - Minnetonka MN, US
Ruth E. Bauhahn - Fridley MN, US
Steven M. Goetz - Brooklyn Center MN, US
Assignee:
Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
A61N 1/36
US Classification:
607 59, 607 2, 607 28, 607 30
Abstract:
A user may modify a stimulation parameter in a plurality of stimulation programs with a single adjustment. During stimulation therapy, the user, such as a patient, may desire to change a parameter of the plurality of stimulation programs. The patient may press a single button on an external programmer to make the parameter change, or global adjustment, to all of the plurality of stimulation programs. This global adjustment eliminates the need for the patient to navigate through each of the plurality of stimulation programs separately and adjust the parameter. Additionally, changing the plurality of stimulation programs may be desirable for uniform stimulation therapy between programs used by the patient. The external programmer may calculate an appropriate parameter change for each stimulation program to keep parameter ratios equal between the plurality of stimulation programs.

User Interface For External Charger For Implantable Medical Device

View page
US Patent:
8346361, Jan 1, 2013
Filed:
Oct 4, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/958191
Inventors:
Ruth E. Bauhahn - Fridley MN, US
Mark E. Schommer - Maple Grove MN, US
Assignee:
Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
A61N 1/08
US Classification:
607 33, 607 32, 607 60, 607 61
Abstract:
User interface for external power source, recharger, for an implantable medical device. At least some of patient controls and display icons of an energy transfer unit are common with at least some of the patient controls and the display icons of a patient control unit. An energy transfer unit is operable by the patient with less than three operative controls to control energy transfer from the external energy transfer unit to the implantable medical device. An external antenna having a primary coil can inductively transfer energy to a secondary coil of the implantable medical device when the external antenna is externally placed in proximity of the secondary coil. An energy transfer unit has an external telemetry coil allowing the energy transfer unit to communicate with the implantable medical device through the internal telemetry coil in order to at least partially control the therapeutic output of the implantable medical device.

Patient Directed Therapy Management

US Patent:
20030036783, Feb 20, 2003
Filed:
Oct 18, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/982763
Inventors:
Ruth Bauhahn - Fridley MN, US
John Forsberg - St. Paul MN, US
Steven Nelson - Wyoming MN, US
Kenneth Heruth - Edina MN, US
International Classification:
A61N001/08
US Classification:
607/059000
Abstract:
An method and system that allows a patient to access stored preset patient therapy programs, that are resident in a medical device such an implantable pump or a combination medical device having an implantable pump and a implantable neural stimulator, and to create personalized therapy programs or automatic timing therapy programs from preset therapy programs to accommodate the patient's particular activity. Alternatively, the patient can select and access stored preset patient therapy programs and combine at least two modified or unmodified preset therapy programs to create personalized therapy programs.

Patient Directed Therapy Management

US Patent:
20040210274, Oct 21, 2004
Filed:
May 7, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/841320
Inventors:
Ruth Bauhahn - Fridley MN, US
John Forsberg - St. Paul MN, US
Steven Nelson - Wyoming MN, US
Assignee:
Medtronic, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
A61N001/08
US Classification:
607/060000
Abstract:
An apparatus and method that allows a patient to access stored preset patient therapy programs, that are resident in a medical device, and to create personalized therapy programs or automatic timing therapy programs from preset therapy programs to accommodate the patient's particular activity. Alternatively, the patient can select and access stored preset patient therapy programs and combine at least two modified or unmodified preset therapy programs to create personalized therapy programs.

Management Of Multiple Stimulation Program Groups

View page
US Patent:
20070213790, Sep 13, 2007
Filed:
Mar 9, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/372355
Inventors:
Joseph Nolan - Minnetonka MN, US
Ruth Bauhahn - Fridley MN, US
Steven Goetz - Brooklyn Center MN, US
Shahram Malekkhosravi - Maple Grove MN, US
International Classification:
A61N 1/00
US Classification:
607059000
Abstract:
The disclosure describes a method and system that allows a user to manage multiple groups of stimulation programs that provide stimulation therapy. A physician may prepare a plurality of programs, arranged in groups that each focus on one area, that the patient may evaluate in an effort to determine if any programs provide efficacious therapy. Since the patient may be evaluating many groups by using a patient programmer, managing the groups may be difficult. The patient programmer may enable the patient to hide ineffective groups to minimize the number of groups available for therapy. In addition, the programmer may allow the patient to mark each group or program as effective or ineffective, to more easily manage groups and programs during stimulation therapy. In addition, the patient may unhide a group or program if the patient desires to reevaluate a formerly hidden option.
