USER INTERFACE FOR NEUROSTIMULATION WAVEFORM COMPOSITION

摘要

An example of a system for programming a neurostimulator may include a storage device and a user interface. The storage device may be configured to store waveform building blocks. The user interface may include a display screen, a user input device, and an interface control circuit. The interface control circuit may include a waveform composer configured to allow for composition of one of more building blocks and composition of a pattern of neurostimulation pulses using selected one or more waveform building blocks. The waveform composer may include a library controller and waveform building block editors. The library controller may be configured to display a library management area on the screen. The displayed library management area allows a user to manage the stored waveform building blocks. The waveform building block editors may each be configured to allow the user to compose a type of the waveform building blocks.

1. A system for use by a user to program a neurostimulator configured to deliver neurostimulation to a patient, comprising:
a first storage device configured to store waveform building blocks; and a first user interface including a first display screen, a first user input device, and a first interface control circuit coupled to the first display screen and the first user input device, the first interface control circuit including a waveform composer configured to allow for composition of one of more building blocks of the waveform building blocks and composition of a pattern of the neurostimulation pulses using one of more building blocks selected from the waveform building blocks, the waveform composer including:
a library controller configured to display a library management area on the screen, the displayed library management area allowing the user to manage the waveform building blocks stored in the storage device; anda plurality of waveform building block editors each configured to allow the user to compose a type of the waveform building blocks of a plurality of types of the waveform building blocks.
