SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMOTELY CONTROLLING AN IMPLANTABLE NEUROSTIMULATOR

1 . A system for remote controlling of an implantable neurostimulator for deep brain stimulation, comprising:

an implantable neurostimulator configured to stimulate at least one target site of brain;

an external wireless device for networking over a network and in communication with the implantable neurostimulator; and

a remote mobile device configured to communicate and exchange data with the implantable neurostimulator over the network.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the implantable neurostimulator comprises an implanted pulse generator and an implanted stimulus receiver.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the remote mobile device comprises a desktop computer, a laptop computer, internet enabled personal digital assistant, a tablet PC and a mobile phone.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the data exchange comprises exchange of data related to neurostimulation parameters, stimulation schedules, patient information and neurostimulation software.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein external wireless device is in communication with the implantable neurostimulator through a medical implant communication service.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the network comprises a virtual private network, internet network and wide area network.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the remote mobile device is further connected to a healthcare provider or emergency medical service provider.

8 . A method of remote monitoring and programming of an implantable neurostimulator, the method comprising:

providing an implantable neurostimulator for stimulating a nerve site;

providing an external wireless device in communication with the implantable neurostimulator;

providing a remote mobile device for networking over a communication network; and

establishing a communication and exchanging data between the remote mobile device and the implantable neurostimulator through the external wireless device over the communication network.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the implantable neurostimulator comprises an implanted pulse generator and an implanted stimulus receiver.

10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the remote mobile device comprises a desktop computer, a laptop computer, internet enabled personal digital assistant, a tablet PC and a mobile phone.

11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the data exchange comprises exchange of data related to neurostimulation parameters, stimulation schedules, patient information and neurostimulation software.

12 . The method of claim 8 , wherein external wireless device is in communication with the implantable neurostimulator through a medical implant communication service.

13 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the network comprises a virtual private network, internet network and wide area network.

14 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the remote mobile device is further connected to a healthcare provider or emergency medical service provider.
