1. An electronic device to assist in interpreting a patient sensation map historical data set, the electronic device comprising:

  • a graphical user interface configured to receive an input from a user and display a visual output to the user;

    a memory storage component configured to store programming code;

    a database storage component configured to store a plurality of the patient sensation map historical data; and

    a computer processor configured to execute the programming code to perform the following tasks;

    displaying a virtual control mechanism on the graphical user interface;

    detecting, through the graphical user interface, one engagement of the virtual control mechanism;

    displaying, in response to the one engagement of the virtual control mechanism, a visualization of a migration of a patient sensation map on the graphical user interface, the patient sensation map including a pain map and a stimulation map, wherein the visualization depicts the migration of the patient sensation map over a historical time on a virtual human body model by displaying the patient sensation map historical data in response to the one engagement;

    calculating a numeric value representing an overlap coverage between the pain map and the stimulation map; and

    displaying the calculated numeric value in the graphical user interface;

    in response to a determination that an excessive stimulation area is present, displaying a symbol next to the displayed calculated numeric value, the symbol indicating that the excessive stimulation area is present; and

    in response to a determination that the excessive stimulation area is no longer present, removing the symbol.
