APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR AUTO-REPLENISHMENT OF ELECTRODES FOR TRANSDERMAL ELECTRICAL STIMULATION

摘要

Described herein are methods for automatically reordering, resupplying, or replenishing TES electrode apparatus units (“electrodes”) for use with a wearable neurostimulator.

主权项

1. A method of automatically supplying an electrode apparatus for transdermal electrical stimulation (TES) to a user, the method comprising:
storing an initial estimate of TES electrode apparatus units associated with a wearable neurostimulator apparatus in the wearable neurostimulator apparatus or a handheld processor in communication with the wearable neurostimulator apparatus; detecting use of a TES electrode apparatus unit and updating the initial estimate to a current estimate of TES electrode apparatus units associated with the wearable neurostimulator apparatus, in the wearable neurostimulator apparatus or a handheld processor in communication with the wearable neurostimulator apparatus; comparing the current estimate to a threshold value and shipping, delivering, or otherwise supplying one or more new TES electrode apparatus units to the user if the current estimate falls below the threshold value; and updating the current estimate to include the one or more new TES electrode apparatus units.
