An implantable medical device comprises a control circuit and a memory. The memory is operably coupled to the control circuit. The memory comprises instructions that, when executed by the control circuit, cause the control circuit to monitor an output of at least one comparator, the output of the at least one comparator being responsive to a physiological signal of a patient. The instructions further cause the control circuit to detect a plurality of comparator trips associated with a physiological event associated with the patient within the output of the at least one comparator. The instructions further cause the control circuit to automatically adjust a gain level applied to the physiological signal over time based at least in part on a comparison between the plurality of comparator trips to a gain adjustment threshold comprising a threshold number of comparator trips.

Systems and methods for customizable titration of an implantable neurostimulator are provided. A method of titrating a neurostimulation signal delivered to a patient from an implantable pulse generator includes delivering a first neurostimulation signal with a first set of parameters, increasing a first value of the first neurostimulation signal at a first rate for a first period of time while delivering the first neurostimulation signal, ceasing delivery of the first neurostimulation signal when the first value reaches a first target value, delivering a second neurostimulation signal with a second set of parameters, and increasing the second neurostimulation signal at a second rate for a second period of time while delivering the second neurostimulation signal.

Devices, systems and methods of neurostimulation for treating obstructive sleep apnea. The system is adapted to send an electrical signal from an implanted neurostimulator through a stimulation lead to a patient's nerve at an appropriate phase of the respiratory cycle based on input from a respiration sensing lead. External components are adapted for wireless communication with the neurostimulator. The neurostimulator is adapted to deliver therapeutic stimulation based on inputs.

A method includes capturing respiratory data and comparative respiratory data of a patient using a sensor of an implantable medical device, the respiratory data captured during a detection window and the comparative respiratory data captured during a comparative detection window at least partially preceding the detection window. The method further includes comparing the respiratory data to the comparative respiratory data. The method further includes detecting an obstructive respiratory event based on the comparison between the respiratory data and the comparative respiratory data.

An implantable medical device comprises a control circuit and a memory. The memory is operably coupled to the control circuit. The memory comprises instructions that, when executed by the control circuit, cause the control circuit to monitor an output of at least one comparator, the output of the at least one comparator being responsive to a cardiac signal of a patient. The instructions further cause the control circuit to automatically adjust a gain level applied to the cardiac signal over time based on the monitored output of the at least one comparator.

A method of managing titration using a management device for a patient implanted with a neurostimulator is provided. The method comprises: receiving, from the neurostimulator, a current titration schedule of a titration being provided to the patient by the neurostimulator; displaying a user interface on a display of the management device, the user interface including an indication of at least a portion of the current titration schedule, the user interface including one or more selectable options for modifying the titration; receiving a selection of the one or more selectable options via the user interface; generating a modified titration schedule of the titration based on the selection; and transmitting the modified titration schedule to the neurostimulator.

Systems and methods are provided for delivering neurostimulation therapies to patients. Stimulation from an implantable medical device (IMD) may be suspended in response to detecting a patient discomfort event, such as a cough, throat irritation, or voice alteration. The suspension period may be based on at least one of a severity level of the patient discomfort event and a patient physical state, such as being asleep or lying down. Detection of a patient discomfort event may be calibrated.

Systems and methods for a user interface for titration of an implantable neurostimulator are provided. A method of managing titration using a management device for a patient implanted with a neurostimulator includes receiving, from the neurostimulator, data for the patient relating to stimulation being provided to the patient by the neurostimulator while the neurostimulator is in communication with the management device, displaying a user interface on a display of the management device, the user interface including at least a portion of the data displayed within a graph, the user interface allowing a user to modify a parameter of the titration, receiving a selection of the parameter, based on the selection, determining a titration schedule for the patient, and transmitting the titration schedule to the neurostimulator.
