Abstract
Nerve stimulation systems and methods are disclosed for providing improved compliance of a patient to a therapy regimen. Patient compliance is assessed and notification or treatment events can be scheduled, rescheduled or otherwise adjusted based upon patient compliance or non-compliance according to compliance rules and parameters of a treatment compliance module. Both compliance and non-compliance may lead to adjustment of the treatment regimen, scheduled treatment events, and notifications. Gamification of the treatment regimen allows users to obtain points that may be used to receive virtual awards, status awards, or monetary compensation of various forms. Monitoring of usage and compliance can be managed both locally and remotely from the user. Stimulation treatment, compliance monitoring, and gamification is disclosed for treatments using external or implanted stimulators, or the combination.
