Embodiment Construction

[0037] An improved charging coil assembly for a mobile device, such as a mobile phone, capable of wirelessly providing power to charge a battery in an implantable medical device (IMD) is disclosed. The assembly includes a coaxial audio connector that can be plugged into a coaxial audio port on the mobile device to allow two-way communication between the assembly and the mobile device. One or more housings coupled to the connector by a cable may include control circuitry, a charging coil, and a battery. The charging coil can be driven by a control circuit in the assembly, or by a charging audio signal at an audio frequency provided by the mobile device through the audio port and connector. A charging application on the mobile device can be used to detect and authenticate the charging coil assembly and can be used to present a graphical user interface on the mobile device to allow the patient to control and / or monitor the charging of his IMD.

Abstract

Disclosed is a charging coil assembly for a mobile device able to wirelessly provide power to charge a battery in an Implantable Medical Device (IMD). The assembly includes a coaxial connector that can be inserted into a coaxial audio port on the mobile device to allow bidirectional communications between the assembly and the mobile device. One or more housings coupled to the connector by a cable can include control circuitry, a charging coil, and a battery. The charging coil can be driven by control circuitry in the assembly or by a charging audio signal at an audio frequency provided by the mobile device via the audio port and connector. A Charging Application on the mobile device can detect and authenticate the charging coil assembly, and render a charging graphical user interface on the mobile device to control and / or monitor charging of the IMD.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to implantable medical device systems, and more particularly to an assembly usable with a mobile external device to facilitate charging the implantable medical device. Background technique [0002] Implantable stimulation devices deliver electrical stimulation to nerves and tissues for the treatment of various biological disorders such as pacemakers for cardiac arrhythmias, defibrillators for cardiac fibrillation, cochlear stimulators for deafness, blindness retinal stimulators, muscle stimulators to produce coordinated limb movements, spinal cord stimulators to treat chronic pain, cortical and deep brain stimulators (DBS) to treat movement and psychological disorders, and urinary incontinence, sleep apnea, shoulder hemistimulation Other neurostimulators for dislocations, etc. The following description will generally focus on the use of the invention in a spinal cord stimulation (SCS) system such as that disclos...
