## Patient Controller NR - US Description
This Patient Controller NR app is for use with Abbott non-rechargeable (NR) devices, such as Proclaim™ SCS systems, Proclaim™ DRG therapy, and Infinity™ DBS systems.

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.

## Patient Controller NR - US Reviews in United States

### *---- "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.
-- HeliosReview, 2026-01-24

### *---- "PLEASE UPDATE THIS APP!!!"
It’s been YEARS since Abbott &amp; 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!!!🤬
-- ArchangelMining, 2026-01-24

### *---- "Horrible App for Patient Control"
For whatever reason, Abbott declines to invest in the app that controls the patient devices, essentially giving us life. This issue 4th phone upgrade where the CURRENT iOS version is incompatible with the old software. 

I’ve worked in pharma/biotech for years, and it is super easy to stay on the iOS upgrade path. Every company with a vested interest in patient health and safety, take the dozens of hours every year to ensure their patient apps are compatible. 

Abbott - do better!!
-- BerkoBoy71, 2026-01-05

### **--- "Really Abbott?!"
Why has there not been an update to include iPhones more up to date than a 14?  My 13 broke, and I upgraded to a 17. Now I can’t use it to adjust the settings!!  What company with a medical device doesn’t push an update for 2 years?
-- Jtweva, 2025-12-29

### *---- "Pathetic"
2 years since there has been an update. I guess since they decided to switch to supplying android devices with there stimulators, they don’t feel any obligation to us ios users.  Shameful company. Im almost due for a new implant and I will be going elsewhere.
-- Fishpaw89, 2025-12-28

### ***-- "NEED TO ADD BETTER SUPPORT FOR NEWER IPHONES 15, 16 &amp; 17s"
When are you going to start updating this app for all the newer iPhones?  I would rather not have to carry two phones to with me!  So update this app to support all new phones.  Everyone needs to tell Abbott company to get on the ball.   Horrible support for a very costly device!!!!
-- nexnustar, 2025-12-07

### *---- "Update this App for Newer iPhones!"
Dear Abbott, please update this app to accommodate newer iPhones! This is absolutely ridiculous! I have an iPhone 17 and cannot use this extinct app and must carry an additional device for my stimulator!!! Do better for patient care.
-- KimRN84, 2025-11-19

### ***** "Compatibility and update so it can operate on ios26 and iPhones 15-17"
Make compatible to iPhone so users don&#039;t have to carry two devices for those that use iPhone, push out update include all current iPhones on the market
-- DLMCPHERSON, 2025-11-18

### *---- "Update Software"
Would like to have this on iPhone16. Step up your game.
-- TheGentileJew, 2025-10-11

### *---- "Out of date"
Get an iPhone they said. So I gave in and this app is not supported. Go figure. 
Please up date the app.
