An improved dual glove exoskeleton system and method for rehabilitation of stroke victims is provided to increase recovery through optic, neural, and muscular stimulation. The proposed approach employs an algorithm that is configured to determine a degree of dysfunction, of certain extremities, and in particular, an upper extremity. During rehabilitation and recovery, the proposed system is designed to monitor a position of a healthy limb and allow a patient to attempt a mirrored position in a damaged limb. The system and method then completes the movement in an assisted-control manner. The system detects how each finger responds individually to the treatment and chooses an exercise program that is appropriate under the circumstances to further assist with rehabilitation.

A method of configuring one or more exoskeleton systems in an exoskeleton network, the method comprising: receiving exoskeleton data from one or more exoskeleton systems that are operably connected to a network; storing the exoskeleton data from the one or more exoskeleton systems; generating a configuration input for configuring at least one of the one or more exoskeleton systems; and sending the generated configuration input to the at least one of the one or more exoskeleton systems via the network to cause the at least one of the one or more exoskeleton systems to be configured based at least in part on the generated configuration input.

A method of operating an exoskeleton system comprising: obtaining a set of sensor data from at least sensors associated with one or more actuator units; determining a maneuver state based at least in part on the set of sensor data; determining a configuration of the one or more actuator units based at least in part on the set of sensor data; generating one or more reference targets for the one or more actuator units based at least in part on the determined maneuver state; determining that the one or more actuator units is outside of a generated reference target one or more actuator units; and causing the one or more actuator units to be configured to be within the generated reference target for the one or more actuator units.

A method of configuring a treatment regimen of one or more exoskeleton systems in an exoskeleton network, the method comprising: receiving exoskeleton data from one or more exoskeleton systems that are operably connected to a network; storing the exoskeleton data from the one or more exoskeleton systems; generating a configuration input for configuring at least one of the one or more exoskeleton systems the configuration input including a replacement for or update to a current medical treatment regimen being implemented by the at least one of the one or more exoskeleton systems; and sending the generated configuration input to the at least one of the one or more exoskeleton systems via the network to cause replacing or updating the current medical treatment regimen being implemented by the at least one of the one or more exoskeleton systems.

An exoskeleton system comprising at least one leg actuator unit configured to be coupled to leg of a user, the leg actuator unit including: an upper arm and a lower arm that are rotatably coupled via a joint, the joint positioned at a knee of the user with the upper arm coupled about an upper leg portion of the user above the knee and with the lower arm coupled about a lower leg portion of the user below the knee, a leg-actuator-unit user interface comprising a plurality of input and feedback elements, and an actuator that extends between the upper arm and lower arms.

An electro-stimulation device where the innervation of the external ear canal is transcutaneously stimulated for treatment of neurological diseases. More particularly, an electrostimulation device having a cylindrical ear insert the surface of which contains at least one electrode being provided with a stimulation end adapted to be transcutaneously attached to the innervation of the external ear canal of a human. The electro-stimulation device is configured to stimulate anterior, superior, posterior or inferior positions of the external ear canal to stimulate simultaneously, sequentially or separately the trigeminal nerve, facial nerve, vagus nerve or glossopharyngeal nerve of the external ear canal. A control unit and a wireless communication unit are preferably placed in the cylindrical ear insert and the control unit is configured adjust the stimulation based on sensor signals such as motion sensor (accelerometer), video/image sensor (blinking movements), EEG, ECG, voice/swallowing sensor, temperature sensor.

An apparatus includes a first wire and a second wire which are coupled to a right upper ankle belt and a right lower ankle belt, a third wire and a fourth wire which are coupled to a left upper ankle belt and a left lower ankle belt, an obtainer obtaining user information about a user and information about walking action of the user, and a controller controlling tensions of the first wire and the second wire at the same time and controlling tensions of the third wire and the fourth wire at the same time using a first stiffness target value corresponding to the first wire, a second stiffness target value corresponding to the second wire, a third stiffness target value corresponding to the third wire, and a fourth stiffness target value corresponding to the fourth wire that are determined based on the user information and the walk information.

The present invention relates to a device, and software and methodology associated with a portable Automated External Defibrillator (“AED”). The portable AED works with a mobile device and software, and includes two or more cardiac pads, a battery pack, and specialized capacitor. When connected to a patient in cardiac arrest, the AED contacts Emergency Medical Services, and records patient information to be transmitted for evaluation by medical providers. The AED is able to analyze cardiac rhythms, suggests administering one or more shocks to the patient in appropriate cardiac arrhythmia, and guides a user on proper CPR technique, if enabled. The AED software can alert other personnel via a mobile device app.

Methods and systems are disclosed for capturing sensor data collected by a personal massaging device with associated sensors, analyzing the data, determining biofeedback data based on the sensor data, and according to some embodiments generating a sexual response profile based on the biofeedback data and a model of human sexual response. Data may be collected and analyzed for a number of uses, including but not limited to: (1) studying human sexual response, (2) adjusting outputs of the personal massaging device based on preset conditions, (3) treating sexual dysfunction conditions, and (4) improving sexual experiences.

A vibration module for applying vibrational tractions to a wearer's skin is presented. Use of the vibration module in headphones is illustrated for providing tactile sensations of low frequency for music, for massage, and for electrical recording and stimulation of the wearer. Damped, planar, electromagnetically-actuated vibration modules of the moving magnet type are presented in theory and reduced to practice, and shown to provide a substantially uniform frequency response over the range 40-200 Hz with a minimum of unwanted audio.
