Providing output indicative of subject's disease state
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring a disease state of a subject suffering from a neurological disorder, the method comprising:
- processing one or more signals from a subject to estimate the subject'"'"'s disease state, wherein the neurological disorder comprises epilepsy and the disease state comprises the subject'"'"'s susceptibility to a future seizure;
determining if the subject'"'"'s disease state is within a target range of an inter-ictal state, wherein the target range is indicative of a low susceptibility to the future seizure; and
providing an output to the subject that comprises an indication that the subject'"'"'s disease state is within the target range of the inter-ictal state.

Abstract
A neurological control system for modulating activity of any component or structure comprising the entirety or portion of the nervous system, or any structure interfaced thereto, generally referred to herein as a “nervous system component.” The neurological control system generates neural modulation signals delivered to a nervous system component through one or more neuromodulators to control neurological state and prevent neurological signs and symptoms. Such treatment parameters may be derived from a neural response to previously delivered neural modulation signals sensed by one or more sensors, each configured to sense a particular characteristic indicative of a neurological or psychiatric condition.

16. A method for monitoring a disease state of a subject suffering from epilepsy, the method comprising:
-
processing one or more brain activity signals from a subject to estimate the subject'"'"'s susceptibility to a seizure; determining if the subject'"'"'s susceptibility to a seizure is within a control range of an inter-ictal state, wherein the control range is indicative of a low susceptibility to the seizure; and when the subject'"'"'s susceptibility to the seizure is within the control range of the inter-ictal state, providing a communication to the subject that comprises an indication that the subject'"'"'s susceptibility to the seizure is within the control range of the inter-ictal state.
