Compartmentalized implant fitting software
First Claim
1. A system for fitting a stimulating medical device to a recipient, comprising:
- a fitting system controller configured to;
transmit a signal to cause the stimulating medical device to apply stimulation to the recipient; and
pass control from a clinician to the recipient;
a display configured to display a graphical user interface to the recipient; and
an input device configured to receive a response from the recipient, using the graphical user interface, regarding stimulation applied by the stimulating medical device;
wherein the fitting system controller is further configured to;
pass control from the recipient to the clinician;
determine a value for a set of at least one device parameter using the received response;
present the determined set of parameter values to a clinician; and
receive an indication from the clinician that the determined set of parameter values is approved.

Abstract
A compartmentalized fitting system that may be used by a recipient to determine device parameters, such as threshold and/or maximum comfort levels, for a stimulating medical device is provided. The compartmentalized fitting system segregates the fitting procedure into separate sessions. For example, in an embodiment, the fitting system provides a clinician driven setup session whereby a clinician may specify parameters that are to be used in fitting the medical device. After which, the fitting system may enter a recipient driven fitting session that is used to determine one or device parameters for the stimulating medical device. Once determined, the fitting system passes control to a clinician driven approval session whereby the clinician can approve the determined set of device parameters; and, if approved store the determined device parameters. This storage may comprise loading the determined device parameters onto the stimulating medical device for subsequent use by the device.

12. A system for fitting a stimulating medical device to a recipient, comprising:
-
recipient-driven fitting means for passing control from a clinician to the recipient and for executing a recipient driven fitting session for determining values for a set of one or more device parameters for the stimulating medical device; presentation means for passing control from the recipient to the clinician and for presenting the determined set of parameter values to a clinician; and approval means for receiving an indication from the clinician that the determined set of parameter values are approved. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A system for fitting a stimulating medical device to a recipient, comprising:
-
a recipient interface configured to exchange information with the recipient; a clinician interface configured to exchange information with the clinician; and a fitting system controller configured to; control the stimulating medical device to apply stimulation to the recipient; pass control from the clinician to the recipient; conduct a recipient-driven session using the recipient interface for determining at least one value for a set of at least one device parameter based on one or more instances of feedback from the recipient responsive to one or more instances of stimulation applied to the recipient; pass control from the recipient to the clinician; and conduct, subsequently to the recipient-driven session, a clinician-driven session using the clinician interface for; presenting the determined set to the clinician; and receiving approval for the determined set from the clinician. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A system for fitting a stimulating medical device to a recipient, comprising:
-
a recipient interface configured to exchange information with the recipient; a clinician interface configured to exchange information with the clinician; and a fitting system controller configured to; control the stimulating medical device to apply stimulation to the recipient; conduct a recipient-driven session using the recipient interface for determining at least one value for a set of at least one device parameter based on one or more instances of feedback from the recipient responsive to one or more instances of stimulation applied to the recipient; and conduct, subsequently to the recipient-driven session, a clinician-driven session using the clinician interface for; presenting the determined set to the clinician; and receiving approval for the determined set from the clinician; and store the determined set if approved by the clinician; and wherein; the recipient-driven session is a first recipient-driven session; and the fitting system controller is further configured to conduct at least a second recipient-driven sessions concurrently with the first recipient-driven session.
