Visualization of deep brain stimulation efficacy
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon to cause control circuitry in a computing device to:
- generate a graphical user interface on a display of the computing device that includes a one or more representations of one or more electrode leads that are implantable in a patient'"'"'s brain, wherein each lead representation comprises a representation of a position of each of a plurality of electrodes and an axis for each of the plurality of electrodes representing different values of a stimulation parameter applied to the respective electrode;
cause telemetry circuitry in the computing device to communicate a stimulation routine to a neurostimulator that is connected to the one or more electrode leads and specifies one of the electrodes and a value of the stimulation parameter;
receive one or more inputs that are indicative of a patient'"'"'s response to execution of the stimulation routine by the neurostimulator; and
display on the computing device, at the position of the specified one of the electrodes and at a position along the axis for the specified one of the electrodes corresponding to the specified value of the stimulation parameter, one or more non-textual, graphical symbols that are indicative of an effectiveness of the stimulation routine, wherein the one or more non-textual, graphical symbols are based on the received one or more inputs.

Abstract
A computing device executes a software program that communicates various deep brain stimulation (DBS) routines to a neurostimulator. The software program generates a graphical user interface (GUI) that receives inputs that are indicative of a patient'"'"'s response to the various DBS routines. The GUI further includes a representation of each of one or more electrode leads that are connected to the neurostimulator. Based on the patient response inputs, one or more symbols that are indicative of an effectiveness of the stimulation routines are displayed at positions on the lead representations that correspond to parameters of the stimulation routines.
