Claim Text:
1. A system comprising: a stimulator comprising a housing and an energy source, wherein the housing comprises a contact surface configured to contact an outer skin surface of a patient, wherein the energy source is housed within the housing and is configured to generate an electric field sufficient to transmit an electric current non-invasively through the outer skin surface of the patient via the contact surface, wherein the electric current is sufficient to modulate a nerve at a target region within the patient; and a docking station configured to couple to the stimulator, wherein the docking station comprises a first communication interface and a second communication interface, wherein the docking station is configured to communicate with a first computer that is independent of the stimulator, via the first communication interface, wherein the docking station is configured to communicate with a second computer that is independent of the stimulator, via the second communication interface, wherein the docking station is configured to perform a first function involving the first computer, wherein the first function comprises receiving data from the first computer and transmitting the data to the stimulator, wherein the electric field is based at least in part on the data, wherein the docking station is configured to perform a second function involving the second computer, wherein the first communication interface is distinct from the second communication interface, wherein the first function is distinct from the second function, wherein the first computer is distinct from the second computer.
