Heads-Up Display and Control of an Implantable Medical Device
First Claim
1. A system for adjusting the stimulation parameters of a patient having a pulse generator medical device, comprising:
- a clinician programmer (CP) computer having clinician programming (CP) software;
an optical head mounted display (OHMD) coupled to the CP computer by a communication link;
wherein the CP software is configured to cause the OHMD to render a graphical user interface (GUI) at the OHMD that is accessible by the clinician to adjust at least one stimulation parameter of the patient'"'"'s medical device.

Abstract
A clinician programmer (CP) system for programming a patient'"'"'s Implantable Medical Device (IMD) is disclosed having an optical head-mounted display (OHMD) that a clinician can use to adjust the therapy provided by the IMD, such as the stimulation parameters provided by an Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG). The OHMD is preferably enabled by improved CP software operable in a CP system computer to render an OHMD Graphical User Interface (GUI) in the OHMD, which may be limited to critical CP functionality; non-critical functionality can be rendered by the CP software on the CP computer. The OHMD GUI is preferably rendered in a simple format within the clinician'"'"'s field of view. The clinician can access the OHMD GUI, by touch or voice for example, to change therapy parameters and to send such changes to the patient'"'"'s IMD while continuing to observe the patient.

14. A method of adjusting the stimulation parameters of a patient having a pulse generator medical device, comprising:
-
coupling an optical head mounted display (OHMD) to a clinician programmer (CP) computer having clinician programming (CP) software; rendering a graphical user interface (GUI) at the OHMD using the CP software viewable by a clinician wearing the OHMD; and adjusting at least one stimulation parameter of the patient'"'"'s medical device using the GUI at the OHMD while the clinician views the patient. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that when executed on a computer cause the computer to:
render a graphical user interface (GUI) at an optical head mounted display (OHMD) coupled to the computer, wherein the GUI allows a clinician wearing the OHMD to adjust at least one stimulation parameter of a patient'"'"'s medical device.
