In some embodiments, an electrical probing stimulation pattern is delivered to the brain of a subject. A response to the electrical probing is analyzed, and used to determine a type of predicted seizure. The type of predicted seizure may be used to determine a treatment electrical stimulation pattern that may be administered to prevent onset of the predicted seizure. In some embodiments, a predicted seizure metric is calculated, which, in some implementations, acts as an indicator of “distance” (e.g., probability distance) to the predicted seizure. Furthermore, a subject model may be trained to assist with determining the type of predicted seizure, and determining the treatment electrical stimulation pattern.

Uploading data from an isolated system without compromising isolation

A data transfer apparatus (“DTA”) connects to the field generator in a TTFields therapy system using the same connector on the field generator that is used to connect a transducer interface to the field generator. The field generator automatically determines whether the transducer interface or the DTA is connected to it. When the transducer interface is connected to the field generator, the field generator operates to deliver TTFields therapy to a patient. On the other hand, when the DTA is connected to the field generator, the field generator transfers patient-treatment data to the DTA, and the DTA accepts the data from the field generator. After the field generator and the DTA have been disconnected, the DTA transmits the data to a remote server, e.g., via the Internet or via cellular data transmission.

Treating kenosis may comprise the following steps: measuring the electrodermal activity of a person by means of an EDA sensor; assessing, on the basis of the electrodermal activity measured, whether the person is currently affected by kinetosis; generating electrical pulses at an electrode in contact with the person's skin in order to treat the kinetosis on the basis of the assessment as to whether the person is currently affected by kinetosis. The sensor and the electrode may be integrated in a device that can be worn on the person's body.

ADAPTIVE STIMULATION ARRAY CALIBRATION
20230045403 · 2023-02-09 ·

A mobility augmentation system assists a user's movement by determining a corresponding electrical stimulation for the movement. A wearable stimulation array includes sensors, electrodes, an electrode multiplexer, and a controller that executes the mobility augmentation system. The sensors measure movement data, and the mobility augmentation system applies a movement model to the measured movement data. The model can determine different electrical actuation instructions depending on the movement stimulated. For example, to stimulate a knee flexion, the movement model output enables a first set of the electrodes to operate as cathodes and a second set of electrodes to operate as anodes. To stimulate a knee extension, the first set of electrodes can be enabled to operate as anodes and a third set of electrodes as cathodes. The user can provide feedback of the applied stimulation, which the system can use to retrain the model and optimize the stimulation to the user.

A flexible sheet for neurostimulation has a flexible non-conductive substrate matrix in which electrodes are embedded along a lower surface. Electrically conductive wires extend from the electrodes through the flexible substrate to another exterior surface of the substrate. Methods of making the flexible sheet and making a device using the flexible sheet are also disclosed.

Systems and methods for controlling position

Systems and methods for assessing compliance with position therapy. In an embodiment, position therapy is provided to a user while the user is wearing a position therapy device. The position therapy comprises, by the device, collecting positional data, determining positions of the user over a time period based on the positional data, and, when it is determined that the user is in a target position, providing feedback to the user to influence the user to change to a non-target position. In addition, the device stores a duration of use in its memory. The duration of use indicates a duration that the user has used the wearable position therapy device in each of one or more positions. An assessment of the user's compliance with the position therapy is then provided based, at least in part, on the duration of use.
