An implantable electrical stimulation device including an implant sized and configured to be implanted subcutaneously, the implant being configured to rectify a received pulse train of ultrasound into a single electrical pulse configured to stimulate a tibial nerve of a patient.

Interactive assistances for executing natural language queries to data sets may be performed. A natural language query may be received. Candidate entity linkages may be determined between an entity recognized in the natural language query and columns in data sets. The candidate linkages may be ranked according to confidence scores which may be evaluated to detect ambiguity for an entity linkage. Candidate entity linkages may be provided to a user via an interface to select an entity linkage to use as part of completing the natural language query.

Interactive assistance for executing natural language queries to data sets

Devices and techniques are generally described for a speech processing procurement system. In various examples, recommendations may be provided by back-end systems. The recommendations may be ranked by a machine learning model, and may be sorted and filtered for a particular output device. Various voice guidance workflows may be invoked through user interaction with a speech processing procurement system. The workflows may be used to surface pre-recorded voice memos and/or to determine recommendations based on dynamically updated procurement policies.

Speech processing procurement system

An example method includes receiving, by an implantable device and from an external device, an energy signal; transducing, by the implantable device, the energy signal into electrical power; outputting, by the implantable device and to the external device, a feedback signal that represents an absolute level of the electrical power transduced from the energy signal, wherein the feedback signal includes a first portion that represents a relative level of the electrical power transduced from the energy signal and a second portion that represents a reference voltage level; and delivering, by the implantable device, a level of electrical stimulation therapy proportional to the absolute level of the electrical power transduced from the energy signal.

Externally powered implantable stimulator

An example method includes presenting, by a computing device, via a user interface (UI), a representation of the medical device and respective representations of one or more components that are attachable to the medical device, wherein the one or more components comprise at least one of leads, adaptors, extensions, or catheters, receiving, by the computing device, via the UI, an indication of a selected component included in the component(s) for attachment to the medical device, and responsive to receiving the indication of the selected component: indicating, by the computing device and via the UI, attachment of the representation of the selected component to the representation of the medical device, and updating, by the computing device, the presentation of the respective representations of the component(s) via the UI to include representations of one or more components that are attachable to the medical device with the selected component.

Tools for medical device configuration

Tips for use on a tunneling tool provide the ability to pull an implantable medical lead extension or catheter body through a subcutaneous tunnel. The tips may include a pin with a barb, where the barb is inserted within a compliant portion of a connector body of the lead extension or a catheter body to create an interference fit that allows the connector body or catheter body to be pulled through the tunnel. The tips may include a carrier that has a cavity for the connector body, where the tunneling is performed with the carrier present on the tunneling tool. A body is positioned within the cavity of the carrier to prevent tissue from snagging on and collecting within the carrier. The body may include a tip portion that performs the tunneling function. The carrier may also provide tunneling and/or may be attached to the tunneling tool during tunneling.

Tools and methods for implantation of implantable medical lead extensions or catheters

Devices, systems, and techniques for adjusting posture state definitions used to determine a posture state of a patient are described. In one example, a system may include an external programmer that includes a user interface configured to present an indication of a first posture state determined from the data representative of the patient posture during the period of time and a set of posture state definitions that at least partially define a plurality of posture states. The external programmer may also include a processor configured to receive an adjustment input from a user that requests an adjustment to the set of posture state definitions and obtain a second posture state, the second posture state determined from the data representative of the patient posture during the period of time and the adjusted set of posture state definitions. The user interface presents an indication of the second posture state.

Adjustments to posture state definition

An example method includes presenting, by a computing device, a range of available parameter values for the therapy parameter via a circular track, indicating, by the computing device, a present parameter value for the therapy parameter via the circular track, and receiving, by the computing device, via a user interface (UI), user input specifying a target parameter value for the therapy parameter, indicating, by the computing device, the target parameter value in conjunction with the present parameter value via the circular track, receiving by the computing device, via the UI, user input activating an adjustment from the present parameter value to the target parameter value, and in response to receiving the user input activating the adjustment, controlling, by the computing device, the medical device to adjust the therapy parameter value from the present parameter value to the target parameter value.

Graphical controls for programming medical device operation

This disclosure describes techniques for estimating an amount of charge on a power source. A processor may determine an uncertainty value associated with a first charge level of a power source and an uncertainty value associated with a second charge level of the power source. Based on the uncertainties, the processor may adjust the first charge level to generate an adjusted charge level. The processor may further adjust the adjusted charge level based on the behavior of the power source.
