About Patient Controller NR - US
The NeuroSphere™ Patient Controller NR app was developed by Abbott for people living with chronic pain and neurologic disorders who are treated by Abbott neuromodulation devices. This application helps patients conveniently manage the programs prescribed by their physicians and uses Bluetooth® wireless technology to communicate between the implanted stimulator and the Patient Controller NR app. The Patient Controller NR app runs on Abbott recommended devices (as mentioned below) and is easy to use, while the wireless interface provides patients the convenience of managing prescribed stimulation settings from a familiar iOS device.
Some of the key functions available for patients include:
- Turn stimulation ON/OFF
- Select stimulation programs for changing therapy needs
- Adjust stimulation amplitude
- Check device battery
- Turn on MRI mode for MR Conditional systems
- Activate and de-activate Surgery Mode
In addition, NeuroSphere™ Virtual Clinic on the Patient Controller NR app enables users to connect with their clinicians for routine programming adjustments remotely. Patients no longer need to visit the clinic for adjustments to their prescribed stimulation settings. Secure in-app video chat enables telehealth sessions directly from within the PC application.
Note:
- This application will work on select Appleⱡ iPhoneⱡ devices running iOS 12.5.5 or later.

No updates???
PATIENT BEWARE! No updates since the iPhone 14 came out? I can’t use my current device to control my battery pack? Not like I can easy change the device implanted in my back.

PLEASE UPDATE THIS APP!!!
It’s been YEARS since Abbott & St. Jude Medical touched this app!! I have an implant that I CANNOT CONTROL from my new iPhone 17 Pro Max because Abbott is ULTRA LAZY!! The old iPhone that I was upgraded to when I had my module surgically replaced in 11/23 doesn’t hold a charge for more than a day…MAX, even without usage! I also DO NOT want to have to carry around an extra iPhone (an old one, don’t even remember its version) just to control my stimulator! The device’s iPhone always has connection issues! I have to literally hold the phone over the stimulator for it to connect! Abbott… FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND YOUR PATIENTS… UPDATE YOUR APP!!!🤬
