WEARABLE RESPIRATION MANAGEMENT DEVICE

Various implementations include wearable devices and methods for managing respiration and user health. In some particular implementations, a wearable device includes: a mount sized to couple with a body part of a user; and a housing coupled with the mount. The housing at least partially contains: a contact element for applying pressure to the body part; and an actuator coupled with the contact element, the actuator configured to actuate the contact element in applying pressure to the body part according to a prescribed pattern. The prescribed pattern includes at least two repetitions, each repetition having: a first segment at a progressively increasing pressure; a second segment at a substantially constant pressure, following the first segment; a third segment at a progressively decreasing pressure, following the second segment; and a fourth segment at a substantially constant pressure that is less than the substantially constant pressure of the second segment.

Nasal stimulation devices and methods

Described here are devices, systems, and methods for treating one or more conditions (such as dry eye) or improving ocular health by providing stimulation to nasal or sinus tissue. Generally, the devices may be handheld or implantable. In some variations, the handheld devices may have a stimulator body and a stimulator probe having one or more nasal insertion prongs. When the devices and systems are used to treat dry eye, nasal or sinus tissue may be stimulated to increase tear production, reduce the symptoms of dry eye, and/or improve ocular surface health.

DEVICES AND METHODS FOR GENERATING PERIODIC MOVEMENTS OF A SKIN

Generally, devices and methods for accelerating/decelerating a skin are disclosed. The method may include applying an applicator to a selected location on the skin, and periodically and mechanically moving/displacing the skin by the applicator according to a specified acceleration/deceleration pattern and at specified acceleration/deceleration values

USER INTERFACE FOR A PATIENT SUPPORT APPARATUS WITH INTEGRATED PATIENT THERAPY DEVICE

A therapy system includes a patient support apparatus and a pneumatic therapy device that is coupleable to the patient support apparatus. The therapy device may receive power and air flow from the patient support apparatus.

Massage Machine

A massage machine includes an air outlet for blowing out air, a blower unit for feeding air to the air outlet, and a contact surface provided so as to be contactable with a person to be treated. The air outlet is oriented either rightward or leftward. The air outlet and the contact surface are distanced from each other in a generally normal direction of the contact surface. The contact surface is positioned other than between the air outlet and the person to be treated while the person to be treated and the contact surface are in contact with each other. The air outlet is prevented from overlapping with the person to be treated as viewed in a left-and-right direction while the person to be treated and the contact surface are in contact with each other.

Erectile Dysfunction Treatment System and Method
20200289362 · 2020-09-17 ·

An erectile dysfunction treatment system comprising a base unit capable of interfacing with the human body, a frame unit, a vacuum cylinder unit, a cap assembly with distraction means, a yoke assembly capable of interfacing with a human penis, and at least one vacuum line attachment. Use of the system involves the user preparing and inserting the penis into the yoke assembly, securing the penis in the yoke assembly, securing the frame around the penis secured in the yoke assembly, moving the yoke assembly so as to apply a distractive force to the inserted and secured penis, applying a vacuum to the inserted and secured penis and allowing distractive force and vacuum to operate for a therapeutic amount of time. The erectile dysfunction treatment system may be used to treat disorders such as Peyronie's disease and other forms of erectile dysfunction and may be used to enhance penile length and girth.
