SYSTEM FOR RESPIRATORY DISORDER THERAPY WITH SELECTION OF STIMULATION STRATEGIES

摘要

The disclosure relates to a system including a processor configured to generate stimulation control signals in response to a detection of a respiratory disorder. The system further includes at least one kinesthetic effector with a vibrating electromechanical transducer applied to a site on a patient's skin for delivering a kinesthetic stimulation energy determined by the control signals. The processor is further configured to determine the effectiveness of a stimulation by detecting a disappearance of the respiratory disorder. The processor is further configured to determine a therapy by selecting a stimulation strategy among several stimulation strategies according to a type of expected or detected disorder.

主权项

1. A system for treating a breathing disorder in a patient by stimulation, including:
a processor configured to generate stimulation control signals in response to a detection of a respiratory disorder; and at least one effector adapted to receive the stimulations control signals and to deliver a stimulation energy determined by the control signals, wherein the processor is further configured to provide automatic therapy determination comprising dynamically selecting, according to a type of expected or detected respiratory disorder, a stimulation strategy from a set of stored simulation strategies.
