Medtronic and Samsung Put DBS Therapy for Parkinson’s Disease in Patients’ Hands

Nearly 1 million people in the United States live with Parkinson’s disease. Over 20 years ago, Medtronic partnered with visionary clinicians to develop Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) technology to alleviate the symptoms of Parkinson’s. To help clinicians and patients better optimize the therapy, Medtronic sought user-friendly mobile devices to adjust the programming of DBS implants and to put more control into the patient’s hands. In collaboration with Samsung, Medtronic introduced a new Clinician Programmer in 2018, built around a custom-configured Galaxy tablet. Following the success of the Clinician Programmer, Medtronic introduced a new Patient Programmer in October 2019, leveraging a Samsung smartphone that can be used by the patient to adjust their physician-prescribed DBS therapy between clinic visits.
