Apparatus and method for enhancing physiological thermoregulation
An apparatus and method for enhancing physiological thermoregulation, the apparatus including a housing configured to contact a glabrous area of a user, wherein the housing includes a cooling element; and a plurality of sensors configured to generate a biometric datum; at least a processor communicatively connected to the plurality of sensors; and a memory communicatively connected to the at least processor, the memory containing instructions configuring the at least processor to receive the biometric datum from the plurality of sensors; and control the cooling element as a function of the biometric datum.
APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR TREATMENT OF OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA UTILIZING CRYOLYSIS OF ADIPOSE TISSUES
Methods, devices, and systems employ cryolysis of oropharyngeal adipose tissues to selectively remove fat cells from the tissues causing obstructive sleep apnea. In various embodiments, a chilled liquide.g., a liquid or airis applied to the target tissue at a temperature and for a duration sufficient to cause cryolysis.
Modular system for cold water exposure therapy using directed ice impingement
The present invention relates to systems and methods for conducting cold water exposure therapy using structured treatment ice and integrated water circulation. The system includes an ice container configured to form and hold treatment ice, and an agitator module comprising a pump, battery, and impingement ports that direct treatment water onto the treatment ice to rapidly chill the water. The ice container can be immersed in a treatment tank, such as a standard bathtub, allowing a user to undergo cold exposure therapy without requiring permanent infrastructure. Enhanced features include turbulence-inducing impingement ports, mobile app connectivity for session tracking, and a freezing chamber with thermally conductive supports for efficient ice formation. The reusable system enables precise thermal control, user immersion, and fast deployment in both clinical and at-home settings. Methods are disclosed for forming the treatment ice, circulating the treatment water, and conducting controlled exposure sessions.
