Abstract:
A transcranial magnetic stimulation device in accordance with embodiments of the present invention comprises a head mount for disposition on a head of a patient and configured with a plurality of attachment points, a plurality of magnetic assembly devices connected to the plurality of attachment points, a given magnetic assembly device equipped with an actuator device to actuate a magnet, is addressable, and configured to receive a control signal addressed to the given magnetic assembly device, and a processor having a memory and configured by program code. The processor is configured to: select one or more treatment protocol units, generate a control signal using at least information contained in the selected treatment protocol units, energize at least one magnetic assembly device over a period of time to cause the magnet to actuate according to the control signal, and monitor the patient response to energizing to addressable actuator.

Claim (Index 21):
A method for providing Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (\u201cTMS\u201d) to a patient, the method comprising:\n providing a head mount for disposition on a head of a patient, the head mount comprising a plurality of points for releasable mounting a plurality of magnetic device assemblies, each magnetic device assembly comprising a magnet and an actuator device for selectively providing a rapidly changing magnetic field capable of inducing weak electric currents in the brain of the patient so as to apply a treatment that modifies natural electrical activity of the brain of the patient; positioning the head mount on the head of the patient in conjunction with a selected number of the plurality of magnetic device assemblies on the head mount at selected locations; generating one or more treatment protocol units, by assembling a series of key-value pairs into a data structure held in the memory of a processor, wherein the data values of the data structure are used to instruct all or a portion of the magnetic assembly devices to generate a specific series of electric fields within the brain of the patient corresponding to one or more operational parameters for the one or more magnetic assembly devices; validating the generated one or more treatment protocol units against threshold value for at least one of the series of key-values pairs; assembling two or more validated treatment protocol units into a treatment protocol for execution by the programmable processor, the programmable processor operative to generate a control signal utilizing the two or more validated treatment protocol units; and providing a rapidly changing magnetic field with at least one of the magnet assemblies in accordance with the treatment protocol and in response to receipt of the control signal.
