PATIENT DIRECTED THERAPY MANAGEMENT

摘要

A system that allows a patient to access stored preset patient t herapy programs (170; 970; 1370), that are resident in a medical device, and to create personalized therapy programs (190; 990; 1390) or automatic timing therapy programs from preset therapy programs (170; 970; 1370) to accommodate the patient's particular activity. Examples of contemplated medical devices include an implantable pump (700), implantable pulse generator (e.g., neural stimulator (5)) or a combination medical device having an implantable pump (1200) and a implantable neural stimulator (1205). Alternatively, the patient can select and access stored preset patient therapy programs and combine at least two modified or unmodified preset therapy programs to create personalized therapy programs.
