Buttonless control device and method for a wearable percutaneous electrical nerve stimulator using interactive gestures and other means

摘要

A device for percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation of a user, the stimulator electrically stimulating at least one nerve, a stimulator housing, a monitor for monitoring transition motion of the stimulator housing, and a monitor. An analyzer that analyzes the transition motion monitored by the stimulator and determines whether the transition motion of the stimulator housing has occurred, and at least one of the stimulator, the monitor, and the analyzer is set to a standby mode and a power saving mode. With a controller that automatically transitions between, the power save mode supports a subset of the stimulator and monitor functions available in the standby mode and saves battery power in the power save mode.
