Classification: CPC A | IPC A

Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
a plurality of sets of electrodes configured to deliver electrical stimulation therapy; and
processing circuitry configured to:
determine, for each respective set of electrodes of the plurality of sets of electrodes, a score based on a ratio of an electrical efficiency for the respective set of electrodes to a therapeutic window for the respective set of electrodes, wherein the electrical efficiency for each respective set of electrodes is based on a minimum electrical energy applied by the respective set of electrodes that results in a beneficial effect for a patient, and wherein the therapeutic window for each respective set of electrodes is based on a difference between a first electrical energy resulting in the beneficial effect for the patient and a second electrical energy resulting in a side-effect for the patient;
determine, based on the score of each respective set of electrodes, a ranking of the plurality of sets of electrodes;
select, based on the ranking, a subset of the plurality of sets of electrodes for delivery of electrical stimulation therapy; and
control a medical device to deliver the electrical stimulation therapy via the subset of the plurality of sets of electrodes.
