Autogeneration of neurostimulation therapy program groups

Abstract

Techniques for automatically generating neurostimulation therapy program groups are disclosed. The techniques may include receiving rating information and information describing actual therapy effects for a plurality of tested programs, and receiving target therapy data describing target therapy effects. The techniques may include automatically generating plurality of program groups based on the rating information and a comparison of actual effects to the target therapy effects. Actual effects and target therapy effects may be, for example, actual paresthesia areas and target paresthesia areas. The techniques may also include determining whether a sufficient number of programs have been tested to generate a desired number of programs groups and, if a sufficient number have not been tested, automatically generating additional programs based on the tested programs, and automatically generating program groups from the tested and automatically generated programs.
