An output signal driver includes a positive output node, a negative output node, a power supply input node, a power supply common node, a charging capacitor, a discharging capacitor, a current source, a current sink, a first switch, a second switch, and a controller. The charging capacitor is coupled to the power supply input node. The discharging capacitor is coupled to the negative output node. The current source is coupled between the power supply input node and the positive output node. The current sink is coupled between the positive output node and the power supply common node. The first switch is coupled in parallel with the current source. The second switch is coupled in parallel with the current sink. The controller is coupled to the current source, the current sink, the first switch, and the second switch to apply either complementary constant current pulses or complementary constant voltage pulses to the positive output node.

Output signal drivers

An implantable medical device includes sealingly contained circuitry comprising stimulation circuitry, a sealingly contained power element to supply power to the circuitry, and an electrode array including a first electrode.

Devices and/or methods for treating sleep disordered breathing may include stimulation of a single nerve, multiple nerves, as well as other tissues relating to upper airway patency.

Single or multiple nerve stimulation to treat sleep disordered breathing

An apparatus includes an implantable stimulator to treat sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and at least one electrode associated with the stimulator. The apparatus may include a microstimulator including a housing to encapsulate at least stimulation circuitry and a control portion including a therapy manager to control the stimulation circuitry based on at least control information.

Microstimulation sleep disordered breathing (SDB) therapy device

One example of an implantable medical device includes an output signal driver, a first electrode, a second electrode, and a controller. The output signal driver is configured to generate stimulation pulses to stimulate a nerve within a patient. The first electrode is coupled to the output signal driver. The second electrode is coupled to the output signal driver. The controller is configured to control the output signal driver to selectively apply between the first electrode and the second electrode a first pulse train and a second pulse train interleaved with the first pulse train.

Implantable medical devices

A method comprises establishing communication between a therapy device implantable in a patient and a consumer electronic device operable by the patient. The method comprises controlling, by the consumer electronic device, a predetermined set of therapy device functions in response to patient inputs to the consumer electronic device. The method also comprises transmitting therapy data from the therapy device to the consumer electronic device. The method further comprises presenting therapy data on a display of the consumer electronic device.

A system and/or method to treat incontinence of a patient includes a stimulation element implanted to stimulate one or more target sites to activate an external sphincter or other mechanism of continence of the patient, such as the external urethral sphincter and/or the external anal sphincter.

Systems and methods for treating incontinence

A programmer is configured to effect communication with, and programming of, an implantable medical device configured to deliver neurostimulation therapy. The programmer comprises a display, such as touch screen display, and a processor comprising memory and coupled to the display. An interface is coupled to the processor and configured to receive therapy settings data indicative of current therapy settings operative in the implantable medical device and any modifications made to the therapy settings by a patient. The processor is configured to determine if one or more therapy settings have been modified since the last interaction with the patient, and coordinate displaying of the current therapy settings, the one or more therapy settings modified by the patient, and a previous state of the one or more therapy settings modified by the patient on the display.

System and method of monitoring for and reporting on patient-made stimulation therapy programming changes

A device and/or method to provide sleep disordered breathing (SDB) care includes an implant-access incision and/or a sensing element.
