Among them, implantable electrical stimulation devices mainly include implantable electrical pulse generators implanted in the body, stimulation electrodes, and external controllers. The electrical stimulation pulses generated by the implantable electrical pulse generator are transmitted to the stimulation electrodes, which then electrically stimulate specific neural targets, thereby diagnosing and treating Parkinson's disease, epilepsy and other diseases.

[0003] However, in the process of diagnosis and treatment, abnormal bioelectric signals that are not enough to cause an attack of the disease are often not processed. And abnormal bioelectric signals that trigger intervention stimulation often cause over-stimulation due to patient intolerance and other reasons. Summary of the invention

[0028] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this specification, the technical solutions in one or more embodiments of this specification will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in one or more embodiments of this specification. Obviously, the one or more embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this specification, not all of the embodiments. Based on one or more embodiments in this specification, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of this document.

[0029] Embodiment 1

[0030] Reference Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the steps of a method for identifying and processing an electrical signal in an implantable closed-loop system provided in an embodiment of the present specification. The electrical signal may be a bioelectric signal. The bioelectric signal processing solution is applied to an implantable closed-loop system. The method may include the following steps:

[0031] Step 102: Collecting bioelectric signals at the target location.

[0032] Specifically, the bioelectric signals are collected by electrodes implanted at the target location and buffered in the MCU.

[0033] Step 104: Based on the first type of detection algorithm, identify whether the collected bioelectric signal meets the constraint conditions for triggering stimulation; if yes, execute step 106; otherwise, execute step 108.

[0034] The first type of detection algorithm may include: line length algorithm, area algorithm, half-wave algorithm and other detection algorithms; if a disease attack is detected, for example, an epileptic attack, then it is determined that the constraint conditions for triggering stimulation are met. It can be seen that the constraint conditions for triggering stimulation are the conditions in which the first type of detection algorithm detects the onset of the disease. Specifically, it can be abnormal frequency, or a sudden increase in amplitude exceeding a threshold, etc. The parameter benchmark can be flexibly set according to the detection requirements.

[0035] Step 106: releasing a stimulation signal to the target position, and recording the first type of information related to this stimulation.

[0036] When the first type of detection algorithm is used to identify that the current bioelectric signal meets the conditions for triggering stimulation, the stimulation signal is released to the target position, that is, stimulation treatment is performed to terminate the onset of the disease. And the first type of information related to this stimulation is recorded. The specific recording process can be sending the bioelectric signal cached by the MCU to the FRAM. Among them, the first type of information includes at least: the contacts, amplitude, frequency, pulse width, duration, etc. used in this stimulation; and the waveform, frequency, duration, etc. of the abnormal bioelectric signal intervened by this stimulation.

[0037] Step 108: Determine whether the bioelectric signal is abnormal based on the second type of detection algorithm; if it is abnormal, execute step 110, otherwise, do nothing.

[0038] The second type of detection algorithm targets abnormal bioelectric signals in the interictal period, and detects low-frequency (1-10 Hz) spike-slow complex waves, sharp-slow complex waves, etc. that are different from the background interval. The implementation method includes half-wave algorithm, etc. It should be understood that the detection judgment in step 108 is a detection process for abnormal bioelectric signals that are not sufficient to trigger stimulation, that is, it is necessary to detect such abnormal signals. Among them, the interictal period refers to the period when the disease is not in progress.

[0039] Step 110: Record the second type of information related to the abnormal bioelectric signal.

[0040] The second type of information includes: the waveform, frequency, duration of the bioelectric signal that is abnormal but does not trigger intervention, and time information for analyzing rhythmicity, etc. The recording process is similar to the first type of information.

[0041] It can be seen that the embodiments of this specification not only record abnormal bioelectric signals during the attack, but also classify and record abnormal bioelectric signals that are not sufficient to cause stimulation during the interictal period. In this way, the recorded information of abnormal bioelectric signals during the interictal period can be effectively used to predict the onset of the disease or adjust the stimulation diagnosis and treatment plan, effectively reduce the number of stimulations in the closed-loop system, extend the service life of the implantable device, and improve and optimize the diagnosis and treatment effect.

[0042] Further, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the method also includes:

[0043] Step 112: Based on the recorded second type of information related to the abnormal bioelectric signal, the detection parameters set in the first type of detection algorithm and / or the generated stimulation method are adjusted.

[0044] Therefore, when there is no significant decrease in the second type of information, it can indicate that the first type of detection algorithm has a poor prognosis, prompting the doctor to adjust the detection parameters or stimulation scheme of the first type of detection algorithm.

[0045] A feasible solution is to refer to Figure 3 As shown, the method also includes:

[0046] Step 114: Determine an intervention prediction strategy based on the recorded first-category information and second-category information.

[0047] Specifically, the onset patterns of the disease can be summarized based on the bioelectric signals during or between attacks, for example, whether an attack will occur during sleep, whether abnormal EEG signals will be generated during sleep but not enough to cause an attack. These can be used as strategies to predict the disease and decide whether to intervene in advance or just record without intervention in the future.

[0048] Step 116: Based on the intervention prediction strategy, the bioelectric signal at the newly acquired target point position is detected and analyzed;

[0049] Step 118: If it is determined that the detected bioelectric signal meets the intervention prediction strategy, then the intervention stimulation is performed in advance, and the first type of information related to this stimulation is recorded;

[0050] Step 120: If it is determined that the detected bioelectric signal does not satisfy the intervention prediction strategy, only the second type of information related to the abnormal bioelectric signal is recorded.

[0051] It should be understood that the bioelectric signals involved in the embodiments of this specification may at least include: electroencephalogram signals, or deep brain electrophysiological signals, or cortical bioelectric signals, or central nervous system signals, etc.

[0052] The embodiments of this specification collect bioelectric signals at the target location; based on the first type of detection algorithm, identify whether the collected bioelectric signals meet the constraints of triggering stimulation; if they do, release the stimulation signal to the target location, and record the first type of information related to this stimulation; if they do not, determine whether the bioelectric signal is abnormal based on the second type of detection algorithm; if abnormal, record the second type of information related to the abnormal bioelectric signal. The embodiments of this specification not only record the abnormal bioelectric signals during the attack, but also classify and record the abnormal bioelectric signals that are not sufficient to cause stimulation during the interictal period. In this way, early stimulation intervention is performed during the attack to suppress the onset of the disease; recording is performed between the onset of the disease as a prognostic reference for specific therapies, and the recorded information of the abnormal bioelectric signals between the onsets can be effectively used to predict the onset of the disease or adjust the stimulation diagnosis and treatment plan, effectively reducing the number of stimulations of the closed-loop system, extending the service life of the implantable device, and improving and optimizing the diagnosis and treatment effect.

The embodiments of this specification not only record the abnormal bioelectric signals during the attack, but also classify and record the abnormal bioelectric signals that are not sufficient to cause stimulation during the interictal period. In this way, early stimulation intervention is performed during the attack to suppress the onset of the disease; recording is performed between the onset of the disease as a prognostic reference for specific therapies, and the recorded information of the abnormal bioelectric signals between the onsets can be effectively used to predict the onset of the disease or adjust the stimulation diagnosis and treatment plan, effectively reducing the number of stimulations of the closed-loop system, extending the service life of the implantable device, and improving and optimizing the diagnosis and treatment effect.

[0074] It can be seen that the embodiments of this specification not only record abnormal bioelectric signals during the attack, but also classify and record abnormal bioelectric signals that are not sufficient to cause stimulation during the interictal period. In this way, the recorded information of abnormal bioelectric signals during the interictal period can be effectively used to predict the onset of the disease or adjust the stimulation diagnosis and treatment plan, effectively reduce the number of stimulations in the closed-loop system, extend the service life of the implantable device, and improve and optimize the diagnosis and treatment effect.
