Method and apparatus for visualizing a migration history of pain maps and stimulation maps
First Claim
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.

Abstract
A method of visualizing a sensation experienced by a patient is disclosed. A graphical user interface is provided. The graphical user interface is configured to receive an input from a user and display a visual output to the user. A virtual control mechanism is displayed on the graphical user interface. One or more engagements of the virtual control mechanism are detected through the graphical user interface. In response to the engagement of the virtual control mechanism, a sensation map history is displayed on the graphical user interface. The sensation map history graphically depicts a migration of a sensation map over time on a virtual human body model.
