Abstract

Systems and methods for treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) includes minimally invasively implanting a stimulating device in a patient's esophagus in the region proximate the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). The patient is provided with a questionnaire related to his disease via an online service. The questionnaire is accessed on a mobile device, such as a cell phone, or on a computer with network access. The data from the sensors and the answers from the questionnaire are analyzed together by a health care provider using the online service. The data and answers are used to program the stimulating device, via the mobile device or computer, to optimize treatment.

Description

[0001] cross reference [0002] This application is dependent upon US Provisional Application No. 61 / 475,368, filed April 14, 2011, entitled "Electrical Stimulation Systems and Methods," which is incorporated herein by reference. This application is also a continuation-in-part of U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 13 / 041,063, entitled "Apparatus and Implantable System for Electrical Stimulation of Biological Tissue," filed March 4, 2011, which is also incorporated by reference Incorporated into this article. technical field [0003] The present invention generally relates to a method and apparatus for electrical stimulation of biological systems. More specifically, the present invention relates to implanting an electrical stimulation device, capturing feeding events and detecting feeding, using an implantable electrical stimulation device, enabling a patient to interface with the implanted stimulation device and applying Methods and systems for prescribing a course of treatm...
