apparatus for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in a user, and, method for controlling transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation with / controlling an apparatus for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in a user.

摘要

apparatus for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in a user, the apparatus comprising: a stimulator to electrically stimulate at least one nerve; a stimulator housing; a monitor to monitor transient movement of the stimulator housing; an analyzer for analyzing transient movement monitored by the monitor to determine whether the transient movement of the stimulator housing has occurred; and a controller for making the automatic transition of at least one of the stimulator, monitor, and analyzer between a standby mode and an energy saving mode; wherein the energy saving mode supports a subset of the stimulator's features and the monitor which is available in the standby mode to conserve battery power in the energy saving mode.
