Remote regulation and control method for deep brain stimulator based on 3G (3rd generation) network

Abstract

The invention belongs to a remote regulation and control method for an implanted medical device, and particularly relates to a method for remote regulation control as well as tracking survey of patient state of an implanted deep brain stimulator. The system is based on the SIP (session initiation protocol) and RTP (real-time transport protocol) as well as Bluetooth communication mode of the 3G (3rd generation) communication network, and realizes one-to-one visual safe remote regulation and control. The system mainly comprises a control end 1, a 3G mobile communication network 2, a client 3, aprogram controller 4 and an implanted pulse generator 5. The regulation and control method comprises the following steps: a doctor looks for relevant information of a patient through a computer 6 of the control end 1 and a 3G mobile phone 8, observes the physical sign of the patient, selects proper adjustment parameters and sends the adjustment parameters to the client 3 through the 3G mobile communication network 2; the client 3 communicates with the program controller 10 through a Bluetooth protocol; and the program controller 10 controls the pulse generator 11 and reversely returns the feedback information to the control end. According to the invention, the physical sign information of the patient can be acquired anytime and anywhere, the stimulation pulse parameters are adjusted, and the clinical requirements on tracking visit and quick diagnosis of the patient with the implanted deep brain stimulator are met; and moreover, as the public wireless communication network and common communication equipment are used, the cost is low, the reliability is high, and the practicability is strong.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a remote control method, in particular to a remote control system for modulating implantable medical devices such as deep brain stimulators based on 3G network SIP protocol, RTP protocol and Bluetooth communication mode, further, The present invention also provides a remote control method for modulating a deep brain stimulator based on the SIP protocol, the RTP protocol and the Bluetooth communication mode of the 3G network. Background technique [0002] Neurostimulators such as deep brain stimulators have been widely used in clinical applications as an effective method for treating neurological disorders. It is a reversible neuromodulation treatment that does not destroy brain tissue and nerve tissue, and plays a role in treating the cause, improving or delaying the progression of the disease. It is currently the most ideal surgical treatment method. Such stimulators generally include accessories such as implantable p...

Problems solved by technology

However, because patients do not understand the stimulation principle of the neurostimulator and the operation method of the programmer, it is difficult to adjust the stimulator to the appropriate parameters autonomously, which may affect the effect of the treatment and even threaten the life safety of the patient.

Therefore, most patients still go to the hospital to ask a doctor or technician to adjust, which brings financial burden to the patient and affects the normal life of the patient.

In addition, postoperative follow-up and follow-up are mainly carried out when the patient returns to the hospital, making it difficult for doctors to understand the relationship between the patient's symptoms and the stimulation parameters used in a timely manner.
