Patent ID: 11904168
Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC NEUROMODULATION CORPORATION
Field: Medical technology (Instruments)
Classification: CPC A | IPC A

Claim 18:
19. A system for use with electrodes on at least one lead that are configured to be operationally positioned for use in modulating neural tissue, the system comprising:
a neural modulation device configured to deliver a spinal cord stimulation (SCS) neuromodulation therapy using active electrodes in the array of the stimulation electrodes to generate a modulation field to deliver neuromodulation to the neural tissue; and
a controller configured to control the neural modulation device to generate the modulation field to deliver the neuromodulation for the neuromodulation therapy, monitor an effectiveness of the SCS neuromodulation therapy by monitoring a health-related parameter, wherein the health-related parameter indicative of the therapeutic effectiveness of the SCS neuromodulation therapy is monitored by sensing the health-related parameter using at least one sensor or receiving patient-entered information for the health-related parameter, automatically initiate a calibration process when the calibration for the neuromodulation is indicated by the monitored effectiveness wherein the calibration process calibrates the neuromodulation delivered for the SCS therapy, and deliver the SCS neuromodulation therapy using the calibrated neuromodulation.
