Claim Text:
1. A method of continuous or periodic tuning of a movement disorder therapy system comprising steps of: having a subject wear a movement disorder diagnostic device during activities of daily living, the subject having a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device with a first level of DBS parameters, and the movement disorder diagnostic device comprising at least one physiological or movement sensor having a signal; identifying or determining in real-time with a processor what activity of daily living the subject is performing, and motor symptoms of a movement disorder or side effects of a treatment the subject is undergoing that the subject is suffering or has suffered based at least in part on the signal(s) from the at least one physiological or movement sensor and at least in part on the identified determined activity of daily living; measuring and quantifying a severity of the identified or determined motor symptoms or side effects with a processor based at least in part on the signal(s) from the at least one physiological or movement sensor while the subject is wearing the diagnostic device in real-time; calculating, with the processor, at least two optional groups of DBS parameters based at least in part on the measured and quantified severity of the identified or determined motor symptoms or side effects, each optional group addressing a separate identified or detected symptom or side effect in real-time; having the subject select one of the at least two optional groups of DBS parameters based on the subject's activity of daily living; transmitting the selected optional group of DBS parameters to the subject's DBS device; and entering the selected optional group of DBS parameters into the subject's DBS device such that the subject's DBS device operates under the selected optional group of DBS parameters, wherein data corresponding to the subject's measured and quantified motor symptoms is displayed in a tuning map that is a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional graph visually for review, and the displayed data and second level of DBS parameters is reviewed and approved by a clinician, physician or technician before being entered into the subject's therapy device.
