Abstract
A system and method for remotely controlling the stimulation therapy for neurological, neuropsychiatric and urological disorders, comprises an implantable lead-receiver and an external stimulator with two-way wireless communication capability, through a server. Proximity sensing of an implanted coil and feedback regulation of stimulation pulses is provided through an implanted magnet and circuitry in the external stimulator. The external stimulator comprises predetermined (pre-packaged) programs for neuromodulation therapy. Some of these pre-packaged programs are “locked-out” to the patient, and can be activated remotely via a server by the physician. A physician can also set up a library of the therapy programs to be executed over a set period of time. The physician can also interrogate remotely, the stimulation therapy setting on a a server or a hand-held device, through a server.
