This invention relates to a device (1) for performing personal care operations on a subject. The device (1) comprises a handheld base body (3), a driving unit (400) to receive and drive an interchangeable treatment head (2) to perform the personal care operation, a sensor (7) for measuring the amount of current drawn from a motor arrangement (5, 6) while the driving unit (400) is being operated. The device (1) further comprises a control unit (8) operably connected to the sensor (7) and the driving unit (400) and configured to control the driving unit (400). The control unit (8) is configured to identify the individual treatment head (2) fitted on the driving unit (400) by comparing the measured motor current at the predefined measuring time (t1) with at least one predefined current threshold (C).

A garment assembly that includes a first sleeve member, a first vibration assembly associated with the first sleeve member, and a control module. The first vibration assembly includes a plurality of vibration devices that are arranged in a circle about a center point. The angular distance between each vibration device in the plurality of vibration devices is approximately the same. The control module is associated with the first sleeve member, and includes a battery. The first vibration assembly is in electrical communication with the control module.

Systems and methods for treating facial soft tissues of a patient in a healthcare or cosmetic treatment environment such as, for example, a spa, clinic, or a medical practitioner's office are presented herein. The facial treatment system includes a facial stimulator instrument and/or an acoustic oscillator to deliver therapeutic stimulation to the facial tissues of a patient including percussive massage, electrical stimulation, and acoustic stimulation. A facial treatment application executing on a processor of a computing device identifies a treatment protocol and operates the facial stimulator instrument and/or acoustic oscillator to implement the facial tissue treatment.

A wearable thorax percussion device for dislodging mucous buildup in the airways of a human patient, the device comprising a garment fitting over the thorax, a rigid element attached to the external surface of the garment, an electromechanical actuator retained by the rigid element to intermittently percuss the thorax, and an electronic controller for generating and modulating an electrical signal to energize the actuator. The rigid element may be adjustably positioned on the garment to accommodate thoraxes of different dimensions. The actuator may be compressible between the rigid element and the thorax to better maintain contact with the thorax.

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.

A massage glove and a vehicle-mounted massage device are provided. The massage glove includes a glove body, at least one acupuncture point massager and a controller. The acupuncture point massager is arranged on the glove body at a position corresponding to an acupuncture point on a hand. The acupuncture point massager is configured to massage the acupuncture point so as to relieve a physical fatigue of a user. The controller is configured to output a control signal to the acupuncture point massager, so as to enable the acupuncture point massager in accordance with the control signal.

The invention relates to the field of transducers, in particular linear vibration generators. It concerns a vibration generator, devices comprising such a vibration generator and a related treatment method.

A vibration generator comprising a mass, a coil, a permanent magnet and a housing, wherein the mass can be set in an oscillatory motion with respect to the housing by applying a current to the coil, and the vibration generator further comprising an axle, wherein the oscillatory motion is along the axle, and in that the mass comprises the permanent magnet and the coil is fixed to the housing.

A nerve stimulator is provided, and in particular a non-invasive nerve stimulator for peripheral nerves, such as the ulnar and/or median nerves. The stimulator may be fitted proximate the left and/or right arm, wrist or hand of a user, to stimulate the median and/or ulnar nerves using electricity, light, sound, magnetic field, vibration or pressure, or any combination of these stimuli. The apparatus takes the form of a standalone band or clasp, or forms part of a fitness tracker band, watch or smartwatch. The nerve stimulator comprises a stimulus generator, to generate any or a combination of the stimuli mentioned above, an applicator to apply the generated stimulus to the arm, wrist or hand of the user, and a controller to control the operation of the stimulus generator and the applicator. In some cases, for stimuli such as light, sound, magnetic field, vibration or pressure, the generator and applicator may be combined into a single component.

A vibration therapy device that includes a housing that includes a handle portion, a head portion and a module seat defined on the head portion, an electrical source, a motor positioned in the housing, a switch for activating the motor, a push rod assembly operatively connected to the motor and configured to reciprocate in response to activation of the motor, and a therapy module removably secured to the module seat. The distal end of the push rod assembly is configured to removably receive a reciprocating attachment thereon. The therapy module at least partially surrounds the distal end of the push rod assembly.

Methods and systems for creating patterns for an adult entertainment device are described. The method includes receiving a media play request initiated from a User Interface (UI) of media application installed on user device. The media play request includes selected media file. The UI includes plurality of pattern creation options. The method includes playing selected media file. The method includes facilitating creation of at least one pattern for media file while playing media file. The at least one pattern is created by user using at least one pattern creation option. The method further includes storing at least one pattern in corresponding at least one script file. The at least one pattern is transformed into corresponding intensity instruction signals. The intensity instruction signals are sent to adult entertainment device connected to user device to cause customization of adjustable parameters of adult entertainment device to be in synchronization with selected media file.
