Optimization of cranial nerve stimulation to treat seizure disorders during sleep
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a computing device, body parameter data of a patient;
determining that the patient is in a particular sleep cycle stage based on the body parameter data;
detecting, while the patient is in the particular sleep cycle stage, a seizure event based on synchrony of brain waves of the patient;
comparing, at the computing device, the brain waves to a target profile associated with the particular sleep cycle stage; and
in response to determining the brain waves are not in conformance with the target profile, adjusting, at the computing device, a cranial nerve stimulation parameter to drive the brain waves to the target profile.

1. A method comprising:
-
receiving, at a computing device, body parameter data of a patient; determining that the patient is in a particular sleep cycle stage based on the body parameter data; detecting, while the patient is in the particular sleep cycle stage, a seizure event based on synchrony of brain waves of the patient; comparing, at the computing device, the brain waves to a target profile associated with the particular sleep cycle stage; and in response to determining the brain waves are not in conformance with the target profile, adjusting, at the computing device, a cranial nerve stimulation parameter to drive the brain waves to the target profile. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

10. A computing device comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to;
receive body parameter data of a patient;
determine that the patient is in a particular sleep cycle stage based on the body parameter data;
detect, while the patient is in the particular sleep cycle stage, a seizure event based on synchrony of brain waves of the patient;
compare the brain waves to a target profile associated with the particular sleep cycle stage;
in response to determining the brain waves are not in conformance with the target profile, adjust a cranial nerve stimulation parameter to drive the brain waves to the target profile. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
