Systems and methods for monitoring a patient's neurological disease state
First Claim
1. A system for modulating a patient'"'"'s neurological disease state, the system comprising:
- one or more sensors that sense at least one signal that comprise a characteristic that is indicative of a neurological disease state;
a signal processing assembly in communication with the one or more sensors that processes the at least one signal to estimate the neurological disease state and to generate a therapy to the patient that is based at least in part on the estimated neurological disease state; and
a treatment assembly in communication with the signal processing assembly, wherein said treatment assembly delivers the therapy to a nervous system component of the patient.

Abstract
The present invention provides methods and systems for modulating a patient'"'"'s neurological disease state. In one embodiment, the system comprises one or more sensors that sense at least one signal that comprise a characteristic that is indicative of a neurological disease state. A signal processing assembly is in communication with the one or more sensors and processes the at least one signal to estimate the neurological disease state and to generate a therapy to the patient that is based at least in part on the estimated neurological disease state. A treatment assembly is in communication with the signal processing assembly and delivers the therapy to a nervous system component of the patient.

15. A method of modulating a patient'"'"'s neurological disease state, the method comprising:
-
sensing at least one neurological signal from the patient;
processing the at least one neurological signal to estimate the neurological disease state;
generating a therapy output, wherein the generated therapy output is function of the estimated neurological disease state; and
delivering the therapy output to the patient. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A method of modulating a patient'"'"'s epilepsy disease state, the method comprising:
-
sensing at least one neurological signal from a nervous system component of the patient;
processing the at least one neurological signal to estimate the patient'"'"'s epilepsy disease state;
generating an electrostimulation therapy output that is based at least in part on the estimated epilepsy disease state; and
delivering the electrostimulation therapy output to a vagus nerve of the patient.
