Abstract

L'invention concerne un système composé de deux appareils qui coopèrent l'un avec l'autre. L'un de ces appareils est un appareil d'électrostimulation, l'autre un appareil de communication mobile, et les deux appareils sont configurés chacun pour transmettre des données sans fil, en permettant une communication de données bidirectionnelle entre eux, de façon à pouvoir transmettre sans fil à l'appareil d'électrostimulation, de manière télécommandée, des paramètres de commande dudit appareil d'électrostimulation au moyen de l'appareil de communication mobile. L'invention concerne en outre un procédé de commande d'un appareil d'électrostimulation au moyen d'un appareil de communication mobile intégré dans un tel système. L'appareil de communication mobile exécute un programme qui envoie des données à l'appareil d'électrostimulation et qui reçoit des données venant de ce dernier, et qui affiche des informations sur un affichage de l'appareil de communication mobile et/ou qui les restitue par le biais d'un haut-parleur dudit appareil de communication mobile. Les instructions de commande saisies dans l'appareil de communication mobile sont envoyées à l'appareil d'électrostimulation par le biais d'une liaison radio.
