The Intellis platform can help optimize treatment and improve patient-physician communication by tracking and sharing daily activities, body positions and therapy usage and giving physicians an objective look at mobility and progress.
"Rather than rely on patient-reported data, the enhanced activity tracker of the Intellis platform provides real-time data that offers more visibility into quality of life changes," said Prof. Jean-Pierre Van Buyten of AZ Nikolaas. "Better understanding a patient's experience can lead to a more informed conversation that can help me maximize their pain relief and this information is easy to see and act on with the improved Samsung Galaxy tablet physician programmer."

"Medtronic's goal is to simplify treatment and improve the patient experience with personalized therapy that provides long-term pain relief and helps restore function," said Marshall Stanton, M.D., senior vice president and president of Medtronic's Pain Therapies division, which is part of the Restorative Therapies Group. "The launch of the Intellis platform is the culmination of 40 years of innovation and what makes Intellis such an important option is that it integrates leading-edge hardware with the Evolve workflow for SCS to help optimize pain relief."
About the Intellis Platform
The Intellis platform addresses a common patient issue: battery recharging. With Medtronic's proprietary Overdrive(TM) battery technology, the Intellis battery can be fully recharged from empty to full in approximately one hour and physicians can now estimate recharge intervals based on therapy settings. Secure wireless Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 programmers for physicians enable faster delivery of evolving workflows and software upgrades on the Intellis platform. Intellis also includes both Medtronic's proprietary SureScan(TM) MRI technology for the broadest access available to MRI diagnostic imaging and simple eligibility determination, which allows MRI scans anywhere on the body under certain conditions for SCS patients, as well as AdaptiveStim(TM) technology for automatic adjustments to deliver the right therapy dose to the right location, as the pain target shifts based on body position.
About Spinal Cord Stimulation
Medtronic SCS therapy for chronic pain uses a small medical device called a neurostimulator placed under a patient's skin to deliver mild electrical impulses through a lead implanted in the epidural space, which act to block pain signals from going to the brain.
