Alternative electrode configurations for reduced power consumption
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- identifying, by one or more processors, a set of one or more electrodes configured to deliver electrical stimulation therapy via a lead, the lead comprising a plurality of electrodes arranged in a complex electrode array geometry, wherein the plurality of electrodes comprises the set of one or more electrodes;
determining, by the one or more processors and based on the set of one or more electrodes, one or more alternative electrode combinations for delivering electrical stimulation therapy, wherein each of the one or more alternative electrode combinations are associated with a respective power consumption value lower than a power consumption value associated with the set of one or more electrodes;
calculating, by the one or more processors and for each of the one or more alternative electrode combinations, a respective field similarity score with respect to the set of one or more electrodes; and
outputting, by the one or more processors, a representation of at least one of the one or more alternative electrode combinations for selection in at least partially defining electrical stimulation therapy, the representation comprising an indication of at least one of the respective power consumption values or the respective field similarity scores.

Abstract
The disclosure describes devices and systems for determining alternative electrode combinations and power consumption for these alternative electrode combinations. In one example, a method includes identifying a set of one or more electrodes configured to deliver electrical stimulation therapy via a lead, determining, based on the set of one or more electrodes, one or more alternative electrode combinations for delivering electrical stimulation therapy, calculating, for each of the one or more alternative electrode combinations, a respective field similarity score with respect to the set of one or more electrodes, and outputting a representation of at least one of the one or more alternative electrode combinations for selection in at least partially defining electrical stimulation therapy, the representation comprising an indication of at least one of the respective power consumption values or the respective field similarity scores.
