PULSE DEVICE AND METHOD TO INSTRUCT TREATMENT WITH PULSE DEVICE
A pulse device includes: force sensor arrays, force sensor carrier whose positions are manually adjustable to apply variable force on human body, a fixation structure to fix the force sensor carrier to human body, a control system controlling collection and transmission of data, a memory system, and a display system. A method including: measuring pulse waveforms; calculating characteristics of measured pulse waves; recommending one or more treatment methods to test on a human body for a few seconds to several minutes, and tracking the characteristics of the pulse wave during or after treatments to test their effectiveness; recommending one or more effective treatments for longer duration after finishing effectiveness tests; instructing the user to end treatments. The pulse device is convenient to use in clinic. It can also be developed into a wearable device to measure users' pulse in real time, and instructs users to perform self-care through software applications.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR WELLNESS ESTIMATION OF A USER USING PULSE HARMONICS FROM PPG SIGNALS
Wellness estimation allows tracking of various health parameters and estimating health condition(s) of the user being monitored. Photophlethysmogram (PPG) based health monitoring systems exist. This disclosure relates generally to PPG based wellness monitoring, and more specifically to a pulse harmonics based wellness estimation. The system collects PPG signals from a user being monitored, as input. The system calculates 12 pulse harmonics from a fundamental frequency of the PPG signal. From the pulse harmonics, further a plurality of key features are extracted, and in turn a wellness metric and a wellness index are calculated, which represents health of the user.
Garment with stretch sensors
There is provided a garment configured for sensing movement of an adjacent underlying body portion of a wearer via sensors, the garment having a body with a plurality of fibres knitted together to form a layer, the layer for positioning adjacent to the underlying body portion of the wearer; electrical connectors attached to the body for facilitating receipt and transmission of signals between a controller and the sensors; a conductive pathway electrically connected to the connectors and to the sensors, each of the sensors incorporated in the layer by knitting as part of the plurality of fibres, wherein the controller measures changes in at least one of resistance or capacitance of the as representative of the movement of the underlying body portion when positioned adjacent to the sensors.
METHODS FOR INTEGRATIVE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT AND A KIT FOR THEIR IMPLEMENTATION
A kit and method for individual psychological wellness diagnosis and a treatment for health enhancement are disclosed, the diagnosis being based on Carl Jung's concepts of archetypes and synchronicity theory, and the treatment based on aromatherapy science and acupuncture theory. The kit includes a box and instructions for using the contents of the box. The box includes a plurality of containers, each containing a unique aromatic substance and a label on the side with one traditional tarot archetype. The method of the invention involves presenting the open box to the person being assessed so that only the uniform top enclosures of the containers are visible, and timing their blind pick of one container. The picked archetype plus the timed number are both diagnostic; each supplies syntax for a psychological diagnosis of wellness health. A time map supplies integrative diagnosis word components that bear like diagnostic meaning in three sciences: nursing, acupuncture, and Christian Science healing. The picked aroma is applied to treat acu-points based on the integrative diagnosis prescription.
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR LOCATING A HUMAN TARGET USING SUPERFICIAL VENOUS CHARACTERISTICS
Provided is a method for locating a human target using superficial vein characteristics, which includes acquiring a model displaying both of the human target and superficial veins; projecting the model on a body surface where the superficial veins are located, so that a ratio of a projection on the body surface to actual dimensions of a human body is (0.9-1.1):1; and adjusting a position of the projection of the model, observing the superficial veins, and making at least two of the superficial veins coincide with veins in the projection of the model, and determining that a position of the human target in the projection of the model is a projection of the human target on the actual body surface.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FACILITATING MIND-BODY-EMOTION STATE SELF-ADJUSTMENT AND FUNCTIONAL SKILLS DEVELOPMENT BY WAY OF BIOFEEDBACK AND ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
A system for aiding a subject development of physical, mental, and/or emotional skills, subject awareness of their mind state, body state, and/or emotional state, and providing subject biofeedback includes subject-internal signal sensing devices wearable by the subject for sensing signals generated internal to the subject's body; subject-external signal sensing devices for sensing signals generated external to the subject's body; a local computing unit configured for authenticated wireless communication with the subject-internal and subject-external signal sensing devices, and presenting particular types of mind state, body state, and emotional state information to the subject, for instance, in the form of biofeedback (e.g., mindbody state biofeedback, and/or mindbodyemotion state biofeedback); and a cellular network communication unit configured for communicating data corresponding to sensed subject-internal signals and sensed subject-external signals to at least one server by way of at least one cellular network.
Methods for integrative diagnosis and treatment and a kit for their implementation
A kit and method for individual, family, or community psychological wellness diagnosis and a treatment for health enhancement are disclosed. The diagnosis is nursing compatible and based on Carl Jung's concepts of archetypes and synchronicity theory, and the treatment based on aromatherapy science and acupuncture theory. The kit includes a box with a plurality of containers and instructions for using the contents of the containers. Each container is labeled with one Jungian archetype and contains a unique aromatic substance. The method of the invention involves presenting the open box to the client or agent for assessment so that no more than a uniformity of top enclosures are visible, and timing their blind pick of one container. The picked archetype plus the timed number are both diagnostic; each supplies syntax for a psychological diagnosis of wellness health. A synchronicity time map supplies diagnosis words that bear like diagnostic meaning in three sciences: nursing, acupuncture, and Christian Science healing.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSESSING AND TREATING DYSMENORRHEA
A computer implemented method and system are provided. Such a method includes collecting health data from a female subject, assessing hormonal irregularities based on the health data to identify a pattern of hormonal imbalance, and prescribing a personalized herbal formula based on the pattern of hormonal imbalance to prevent or treat a condition or disorder related to a menstrual cycle of the female subject. Health data, which may be collected through online assessment, may include self-reported answers to a list of questions, and one or more photos of tongue of the female subject.
Enhancing reproductive capacity by paradoxical therapy
Methods of enhancing reproductive capacity in a female subject are provided. Aspects of the methods include inducing infertility in the subject in a manner effective to cause the subject to mount a compensatory response and thereby enhance reproductive capacity in the subject. Systems and kits useful in practicing the methods of the present disclosure are also provided.
Systems and methods for improving heart-rate variability
The present invention discloses neuro-stimulation systems and methods for affecting cardiovascular function, particularly for improving heart rate variability and treating arrhythmia.
