First Claim
Patent Images
1. An implantable neurostimulator for treating a neurological disorder in a patient, the implantable neurostimulator comprising:
- a detection subsystem configured to;
sense an electrographic signal of the patient though one of a plurality of detection channels, anddetect a neurological event in the electrographic signal;
a processor configured to select a therapy from a plurality of possible therapies deliverable to the patient through the implantable neurostimulator, the therapy selected based on a first parameter representative of a characteristic of the electrographic signal sensed by the one of the plurality of detection channels; and
a therapy subsystem configured to deliver the selected therapy to the patient.

Abstract
An implantable neurostimulator system adapted to provide therapy for various neurological disorders is capable of varying therapy delivery strategies based on the context, physiological or otherwise, into which the therapy is to be delivered. Responsive and scheduled therapies can be varied depending on various sensor measurements, calculations, inferences, and device states (including elapsed times and times of day) to deliver an appropriate course of therapy under the circumstances.
