Abstract:
Systems and methods for treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) includes minimally invasively implanting a stimulating device in a patient's esophagus in the region proximate the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). The patient is provided with a questionnaire related to his disease via an online service. The questionnaire is accessed on a mobile device, such as a cell phone, or on a computer with network access. The data from the sensors and the answers from the questionnaire are analyzed together by a health care provider using the online service. The data and answers are used to program the stimulating device, via the mobile device or computer, to optimize treatment.

Claim (Index 33):
A system for treating a gastrointestinal condition of a patient, comprising:\n at least one electrode adapted to be implanted such that said electrode is configured to be in electrical communication with a lower esophageal sphincter (LES) of the patient to deliver a pulse stream in accordance with a plurality of stimulation parameters; a pulse generator in electrical communication with the at least one electrode; and a non-volatile memory for storing programmatic code which, when executed by a processor, causes the pulse generator to generate the pulse stream in accordance with the plurality of stimulation parameters, wherein the plurality of stimulation parameters comprises at least one of a pulse width having a range of 5 \u03bcsec to 30 msec, a pulse amplitude having a range of 1 to 30 mAmp, a pulse frequency having a range of 1 to 100 Hz, wherein values for each of the pulse width, pulse amplitude, or pulse frequency are defined such that a function of the LES normalizes after at least 5 minutes from an initiation of the pulse stream.
