Abstract
A method for programming a stimulation device of a stimulation system using a programming device includes providing a set of programming commands for the programming device that include a first programming command increasing a stimulation amplitude and a second programming command includes decreasing the stimulation amplitude; receiving a verbal communication by a voice command handler of the programming device or in communication with the programming device; determining whether the verbal communication is a trigger word and, when the verbal communication is the trigger word, entering a triggered state, wherein, after entering the triggered state, the programming device remains in the triggered state until a one of at least one stop condition is met; and, when in the triggered state, determining whether the verbal communication is one of the programming commands and, when the verbal communication is one of the programming commands, executing the one of the programming commands.
