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

Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
a neural stimulator configured to stimulate target neural tissue without a side effect caused by stimulating other neural tissue;
a user input device configured to allow a user to select a set of stimulation parameters for the neural stimulator to stimulate the target neural tissue;
a display;
processing circuitry connected to the user input device and the display, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
provide together on the display representations including a first representation indicative of an electrical stimulation field based on the user-selected set of stimulation parameters for the neural stimulator, a second representation indicative of the target neural tissue, and a third representation indicative of the other neural tissue;
change the display in response to estimating that the user-selected set of stimulation parameters will stimulate the target neural tissue to indicate when the user-selected set of stimulation parameters is estimated to stimulate the target neural tissue; and
change the display in response to estimating that the user-selected set of stimulation parameters will stimulate the other neural tissue to indicate when the user-selected set of stimulation parameters is estimated to stimulate the other neural tissue and cause the side effect; and
output circuitry configured to transmit the user-selected set of stimulation parameters to the neural stimulator for use by the neural stimulator to stimulate the target neural tissue.
