Patent US10335302
Issued 2019-07-02
Systems And Methods For Using Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation To Enable Dietary Interventions
The disclosed electrical stimulation system generates interventions to assist patients in complying with a diet. The wearable device includes a microprocessor, electrical stimulator and at least one electrode configured to deliver electrical stimulation to the epidermis, through a range of 0.1 mm to 10 mm or a range of 0.1 mm to 20 mm of the dermis, of a T2 dermatome to a T12 dermatome or meridian of the patient, a C5 to a T1 dermatome across the hand and/or arm, and/or the upper chest regions. The device is adapted to provide electrical stimulation as per stimulation protocols and to communicate wirelessly with a companion control device configured to monitor and record appetite patterns of the patient and generate interventions. The control device is also configured to monitor, record, and modify stimulation parameters of the stimulation protocols.

- 1. A system to generate real-time interventions in response to a patient's degree of appetite, comprising:
an electrical dermal patch comprising:
a housing;
a controller positioned within the housing;
at least one electrode positioned in physical communication with the housing and adapted to be in electrical contact with the patient's skin; and,
a pulse generator positioned within the housing and in electrical communication with the controller and said at least one electrode, wherein the pulse generator is configured to generate a plurality of stimulation sessions comprising a plurality of electrical pulses defined by stimulation parameters and wherein said stimulation parameters comprise a first pulse width in a range of 10 μsec to 10 msec, a first pulse amplitude in a range of 100 μA to 100 mA, and a first pulse frequency in a range of 1 Hz and 100 Hz;
a first plurality of programmatic instructions stored in a non-transient memory in a client device separate from the electrical dermal patch, wherein, when executed, said first plurality of programmatic instructions is adapted to cause the client device to generate a prompt to the patient to input data indicative of the patient's degree of appetite via a microphone or a display of said client device; a second plurality of programmatic instructions stored in a non-transient memory in the client device or another device separate from the electrical dermal patch, wherein, when executed, said second plurality of programmatic instructions determines an appetite pattern of the patient based upon said inputted data; and a third plurality of programmatic instructions stored in a non-transient memory in the client device or another device separate from the electrical dermal patch, wherein, when executed, said third plurality of programmatic instructions determines an intervention and generates said intervention based on the appetite pattern.
- 27. A system to generate real-time interventions in response to a patient's degree of appetite, comprising:
an electrical dermal patch comprising:
a housing;
a controller positioned within the housing;
at least one electrode in physical communication with the housing and adapted to be in electrical contact with the patient's skin; and,
a pulse generator positioned within the housing and in electrical communication with the controller and said at least one electrode, wherein the pulse generator is configured to generate a plurality of stimulation sessions comprising a plurality of electrical pulses defined by stimulation parameters;
a first plurality of programmatic instructions stored in a non-transient memory in a client device separate from the electrical dermal patch, wherein, when executed, said first plurality of programmatic instructions communicates with said electrical dermal patch and prompts the patient to input data indicative of the patient's degree of appetite via a microphone or display of said client device; and a second plurality of programmatic instructions stored in a non-transient memory in the client device or another device separate from the electrical dermal patch, wherein, when executed, the second plurality of programmatic instructions receives the data indicative of the patient's degree of appetite, processes the data indicative of the patient's degree of appetite to develop predictions of whether the patient's degree of appetite will be above or below a threshold value in a future time window, does not generate any intervention in the future time window if the patient's degree of appetite is expected to be below the threshold value, and causes a first intervention to be generated in the future time window if the patient's degree of appetite is expected to be above the threshold value.
