A compact mini air pump includes a rectangular, box-shaped body having a standard AC power cord extending from it, two air supply output ports, and a control and information panel with user-operated buttons and status lights located on its front side. Within the hollow interior of the body is an air compressor, a dual-output electromechanical valve having to two air output tubes, an air pressure sensor, a DC battery power supply, an AC power connection, and an electronic circuit board controlling the mini air pump's function. The air supply output ports, an extension of the air tubes within the body, supply air to Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (“IPC”) Therapy device garments through flexible air supply tubes. The mini air pump device is sized to be held by one hand for portability.

A system and method for mechanical CPR can include a device for providing compressive force to various locations on a patient, and biological monitoring systems to measure the effectiveness of the various locations of compressive force in pumping blood through the patient. The system can also include providing decompressive force to increase the efficacy of blood flow.

The invention relates to a system for adjusting pressure locally acting on the skin. Said system includes a set of adjacent modules distributed so as to form a layer. Each module includes a cushion capable of changing shape and comprising a cavity, a valve, a tank, and a pressure sensor, wherein the cavity and the tank are in communication with each other by means of the valve, and the sensor is placed so as to sense pressure directly or indirectly acting on the cushion. The system also includes a feedback loop arranged such as to increase or decrease the change in the shape of the cushion on the basis of the pressure detected by the sensor. The system according to the invention can be built into a shoe so as to re-establish normal plantar pressure under the entire sole of the foot, which is particularly desirable for athletes or for patients suffering from diabetes mellitus or leprosy. It is also possible to incorporate the system according to the invention into a (bed or wheelchair) mattress so as to prevent decubitus ulcers in patients with neurological diseases (hemiplegia, paraplegia, tetraplegia, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and any other sensory and/or motor deficit diseases.

Disclosed is ischemic precondition treatment equipment and a use and method thereof for judging health condition of blood vessels. A gas way structure (4) is arranged inside a shell of ischemic precondition training treatment equipment. The gas way structure comprises a 5-way device (43). The 5-way device (43) is connected to a left gas pump (41), a right gas pump (42), a left solenoid valve (44), a right solenoid valve (45) and a release valve (48), respectively. The gas way structure (4) can rapidly bring a pressure of an armband airbag to the set pressure value in a short period of time, which is effective in relieving the patients' discomfort and pain when used. It is suitable for long-term use for training. In addition, it also can judge the health condition of blood vessels.

The present invention relates to an air pocket-type massage device comprising: a bed unit (100) which is for supporting parts of the body of a user; a massage module (200) which is disposed on the bed unit (100) and comprises a plurality of air pockets; and a position adjusting means (300) which is provided on the bed unit (100) and enables changing of the position of the massage module (200). Therefore, the present invention provides an air pocket-type massage device which, when massaging particularly the calves among parts of the body of a user, can flexibly respond to changes in the user's height by means of changing the position of a massage module by means of a position adjusting means and on the basis of the changes in the user's height.

Systems and methods for operating a vending machine and/or kiosk. The methods comprise: detecting a presence of a person in a seat of the vending machine; obtaining a full or partial body heat map for the person that was created based on sensor data generated by at least one sensor of the vending machine or at least one sensor located in proximity to the vending machine (the full or partial heat map showing relative temperatures of different parts of a body of the person); selecting at least one vending service parameter for the vending machine using information obtained based on the full or partial body heat map; and causing the vending machine to provide the person with a vending service in accordance with the at least one vending service parameter that was selected.

A treatment system includes a massage machine that further includes a massage portion configured to perform a massage with respect to a user; a control unit configured to control the massage portion; means for receiving and setting a target value; and a notification portion. The control unit is configured to compare the target value received and a predetermined reference value and to determine whether a predetermined condition is satisfied. When the control unit determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the control unit is configured to cause the notification portion to urge the user to change the target value or to cause the setting means to prohibit the target value from being set.

An information network system includes a massage machine and a communication server. The massage machine contains: a treatment portion configured to treat a subject, a control unit configured to control the treatment portion, an operation unit configured to operate the treatment portion via the control unit, and a new arrival notification portion. The communication server is connected to the control unit via a communication network, the communication server is configured to emit an information related to the massage machine. The control unit is configured to cause the new arrival notification portion to issue a notification upon a receipt of the information.

A massage machine includes a main body that includes a treatment portion configured to perform treatment with respect to a user; a detecting portion configured to detect a running state of a component of the main body and to obtain running state data; a storage portion configured to store the running state data; and a control unit configured to control an operation of the main body. The control unit includes: a determining portion configured to determine presence or absence of an abnormality related to the main body; and an abnormality outputting portion configured to output an information related to the abnormality and the running state data when the abnormality determining portion determines that the abnormality is present.
