Abstract
A therapy program may be modified based on information indicative of a change in a therapy field, which may represent a region of a patient'"'"'s tissue to which therapy is delivered. Upon receiving information indicative of a therapy field change, an algorithmic model of a present therapy field may be generated and compared to an algorithmic model of a baseline therapy field, which indicates a therapy field that provides efficacious therapy to the patient. If a characteristic of the present therapy field differs from the baseline therapy field model, the current therapy program may be modified. In another example, upon receiving information indicative of a therapy field change, the current therapy program may be modified, and an algorithmic model of a therapy field based on the modified therapy program may be compared to a baseline therapy field model to determine whether the modified therapy program is a suitable alternative.

16. A method comprising:
-
receiving information indicative of a change in a first therapy field, wherein therapy is delivered to a patient according to a therapy program to generate the first therapy field; generating a first therapy field model based on the therapy program and the information indicative of the change in the first therapy field; comparing the first therapy field model to an algorithmic model of a baseline therapy field; and modifying the therapy program based on the comparison of the first therapy field model to the algorithmic model of the baseline therapy field. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A system comprising:
-
an implantable medical device that delivers therapy to tissue of a patient according to a therapy program to generate a first therapy field within the tissue; and a processor that receives information indicative of a change in the first therapy field, generates a first therapy field model based on the therapy program and the information indicative of the change in the first therapy field, compares the first therapy field model to an algorithmic model of a baseline therapy field, and modifies the therapy program based on the comparison of the first therapy field model to the algorithmic model of the baseline therapy field. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)

means for receiving information indicative of a change in a first therapy field, wherein therapy is delivered to a patient according to a therapy program to generate the first therapy field; means for generating a first therapy field model based on the therapy program and the information indicative of the change in the first therapy field; means for comparing the first therapy field model to an algorithmic model of a baseline therapy field; and means for modifying the therapy program based on the comparison of the first therapy field model to the algorithmic model of the baseline therapy field. - View Dependent Claims (40)
