Programming interface with an unwrapped 2D view of a stimulation lead with complex electrode array geometry
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- presenting on a display an unwrapped two-dimensional (2D) array view of a representation of an implantable lead having a complex electrode array geometry, wherein the implantable lead comprises a plurality of non-contiguous electrode segments located at different angular positions about a circumference of the lead, and the unwrapped 2D array view depicts each of the electrode segments; and
receiving user input via interaction with the unwrapped 2D array view defining stimulation for delivery by a medical device via the lead.

Abstract
A method of programming implantable stimulators to deliver stimulation energy via one or more implantable leads having complex electrode array geometries. The method further includes guided programming to select electrode combinations and parameter values to support efficacy. The techniques may be applied to a programming interface associated with a clinician programmer, a patient programmer, or both. A user interface permits a user to view electrodes from different perspectives relative to the lead. For example, the user interface provides an unwrapped two-dimensional array view of a lead and a concentric axial view of the lead. The user interface may include an axial control medium to select and/or view electrodes at different axial positions along the length of a lead, and a rotational control medium to select and/or view electrodes at different angular positions around a circumference of the lead.
