Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the present invention is described in further detail:

Referring to FIG. 1 , taking an implantable electrical nerve stimulation system as an example, it mainly includes a pulse generator 1 implanted in the body, electrodes 3 , and a doctor's programmer 2 located outside the body. The pulse generator 1 is electrically connected to the electrode 3, so that the pulse generated by the pulse generator 1 is transmitted to the electrode 3, so as to electrically stimulate the nerve target to achieve a therapeutic effect. The doctor’s program controller 2 is preset with the identification information of the doctor who has the authority to use it. When it is necessary to adjust the output parameters such as the amplitude, frequency, and pulse width of the pulse generator 1, only the specific doctor can operate the program controller. Anyone else cannot operate the programmer.

With reference to Fig. 2, doctor's programmer 2 generally comprises microprocessor system module 4, the wireless communication module 5 that is connected with described microprocessor system module 4 and pulse generator 1 communicates, display 6, microprocessor system module 4 is also connected with a safety and security module 9 for identifying the identity of the doctor's programmer user, and the power supply 10 supplies power to each of the above-mentioned modules.

Wherein, the safety and security module 9 includes an identification information collection input unit 901 for collecting information input by users, and the microprocessor system module 4 is preset with identification information of authorized users, and the identification information collection input unit 901 collects The information is compared with the preset identification information to determine the identity of the user. When the information collected by the identification information collection and input unit is compared with the preset identification information and the judgment result is mismatched, the microprocessor system module 4 issues a command to prohibit the use of the doctor's programmable controller.

In this embodiment, the communication module is a wireless communication module 5 that performs wireless communication with the implanted pulse generator 1. When the information collected by the identification information collection and input unit 901 is compared with the preset identification information, the judgment result is not When matching, the microprocessor system module 4 sends a signal prohibiting the communication of the wireless communication module 5, thereby preventing people other than the doctor set by the doctor's program controller from using the doctor's program controller to remotely control the pulse generator implanted in the patient adjust.

In other embodiments, the doctor's programmer can also communicate with the implanted pulse generator through other communication methods such as electromagnetic coils.
