Your Medtronic DBS Activa™ Patient Programmer is designed with you in mind.
The patient programmer consists of two components — a programmer and a communicator.
Each features intuitive, consumer-friendly technology designed to help you get the most of your DBS therapy.
The programmer looks like a smartphone — including a large touchscreen and familiar icons — and allows you to optimize your therapy within parameters you set.
The communicator is a separate piece that synchronizes with the implanted device and provides a safe, smart connection to the programmer handset.
When you want to adjust therapy settings, turn therapy on or off, or check the neurostimulator’s battery, simply hold the communicator over the implanted device and make your desired changes using the programmer.
When the DBS Therapy app is open and connected to the neurostimulator, the home screen below is visible. The main features of the home screen are:
