Patent ID: 11904157
Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC NEUROMODULATION CORPORATION
Field: Medical technology (Instruments)
Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 17:
18. A system for delivering neurostimulation to a patient, the system comprising:
a stimulation device configured to deliver the neurostimulation; and
a programming device configured to be communicatively coupled to the stimulation device and including:
volume definition circuitry configured to receiving a stimulation configuration and to determine one or more stimulation field models (SFMs) each representing a volume of activation in the patient associated with the stimulation configuration; and
stimulation effect circuitry configured to determine one or more stimulation effect types for each SFM of the one or more SFMs, the one or more stimulation effect types each associated with a portion of one or more portions of the each SFM and being a type of stimulation resulting from the delivery of the neurostimulation according to the stimulation configuration as measured at that portion; and
wherein the programming device is configured to adjust the stimulation configuration based on the one or more SFMs and the one or more stimulation effect types determined for the each SFM and to program the stimulation device for delivering the neurostimulation according to the adjusted stimulation configuration.
