Method and system of producing 2D representations of 3D pain and stimulation maps and implant models on a clinician programmer

摘要

The present disclosure involves an electronic device for visualizing a sensation experienced by a patient. The electronic device includes a touchscreen display configured to receive a tactile input from a user and display a visual output. The electronic device includes a memory storage component configured to store programming code. The electronic device includes a computer processor configured to execute the programming code to perform the following tasks: generating, in response to the tactile input from the user, a three-dimensional (3D) sensation map that represents the sensation experienced by the patient; deriving a two-dimensional (2D) sensation map based on the 3D sensation map, wherein the 2D sensation map contains substantially less data than the 3D sensation map; and sending the 2D sensation map over a network to facilitate a reconstruction of the 3D sensation map using the 2D sensation map.
