1. A system for providing electrical stimulation to biological tissue to treat one or more medical conditions comprising:
one or more leads configured to be positioned proximate to biological tissue that is proximate one or more nerves;
a pulse generator configured to deliver electrical stimulation to the biological tissue via the one or more leads;
a power source configured to operatively connect and supply power to the pulse generator;
a motion sensor positioned proximate to a body of a patient and configured to generate a raw patient signal; and
one or more processors configured to:
receive the raw patient signal from the motion sensor;
identify major variations and minor variations in the raw patient signal, wherein the major variations and minor variations correspond to one or more forces to which the body is exposed, wherein the major variations correspond to a signal of interest portion including physiologically significant information from the raw patient signal, and wherein the minor variations correspond to minute physiologically least significant information of an unwanted or left over signal portion of the raw patient signal;
periodically capture and extract insignificant data from minor variations that correspond to minute physiologically least significant information of the unwanted or left over signal portion of the raw patient signal unrelated to physiologically significant major variations of the signal of interest portion, wherein the insignificant data is limited to being extracted from portions corresponding to the minor variations, wherein the insignificant data is used to generate a stimulation signal by tuning a stimulation waveform according to the minor variations in the raw patient signal, and wherein the use of the insignificant data is unrelated to tailoring the stimulation based on the sensed physiologically significant major variations in the raw patient signal toward a predefined profile; and
cause the pulse generator to deliver the electrical stimulation via the stimulation signal.
