Spine Alignment And Decompression Systems
A system can include a base configured to support a lower half of a human body. The system can also include a headrest elevated relative to the base, wherein the headrest is disposed adjacent to a proximal end of the base, where the headrest is configured to support a head of the human body. The system can further include a back platform having a first end and a second end, where the first end is coupled to the base, where the second end is disposed adjacent to the headrest, and where the back platform has a curvature, where the back platform is configured to support a torso of the human body. The system can also include a vibrating mechanism in communication with the back platform, where vibrations generated by the vibrating mechanism translate to the back platform.
ADJUSTABLE FOUNDATION
An adjustable foundation and process includes a mattress support surface including a head and back section hingedly connected to an intermediate section at one end and a leg and foot section hingedly connected to the intermediate section at another end, wherein the intermediate section includes a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is hingedly connected to the head and back section and the second portion is hingedly connected to the leg and foot section. The intermediate or seat section is configured to increase in length upon articulation of the head and back section and/or the leg and foot section from a flat position or an increase in inclination of any section. Likewise, the intermediate or seat section is configured to decrease in length upon articulation of the head and back section and/or the leg and foot section from an inclined position to a flat position or a decrease in length upon declination of any section. By doing so, a prone user does not have to shift his position on the mattress in order to accommodate the inclination or declination.
Systems And Methods For Therapeutic Sound Treatment
Described herein are methods and systems for providing therapeutic sound treatment to the human body. The present methods and systems may comprise a seating apparatus, a computing device, and a plurality of output devices. The computing device may provide a user interface allowing selection of one or more symptoms. The one or more symptoms may be associated with a sound frequency (or frequencies) and a duration(s) and/or pattern for output of the sound frequency (or frequencies). The computing device may cause the plurality of output devices to output the sound frequency (or frequencies) associated with the selected one or more symptoms, which may provide health benefits for the user, such as alleviating the selected one or more symptoms.
Vibrating foot massager
The application provides for a vibrating foot massager that resembles a common shoe. This vibrating foot massager has a number of vibrating motors which can be placed in a variety of combinations within the sole of the shoe. Preferably, the vibrating foot massager will be equipped with a power source so the entire device will be portable. This will enable a user to enjoy the benefits of receiving a foot massage while on the go. The vibrating foot massager is also equipped with a power switch such that when the motors are not in use, the device operates as a functional shoe.
System for Adjusting Pressure Locally on the Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue
The invention relates to a system for adjusting pressure locally acting on the skin. Said system includes a set of adjacent modules distributed so as to form a layer. Each module includes a cushion capable of changing shape and comprising a cavity, a valve, a tank, and a pressure sensor, wherein the cavity and the tank are in communication with each other by means of the valve, and the sensor is placed so as to sense pressure directly or indirectly acting on the cushion. The system also includes a feedback loop arranged such as to increase or decrease the change in the shape of the cushion on the basis of the pressure detected by the sensor. The system according to the invention can be built into a shoe so as to re-establish normal plantar pressure under the entire sole of the foot, which is particularly desirable for athletes or for patients suffering from diabetes mellitus or leprosy. It is also possible to incorporate the system according to the invention into a (bed or wheelchair) mattress so as to prevent decubitus ulcers in patients with neurological diseases (hemiplegia, paraplegia, tetraplegia, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and any other sensory and/or motor deficit diseases.
User-customized delivery of streamed multi-sensory media to a vibroacoustic therapy bed
A multi-sensory media experience delivery platform includes a vibroacoustic therapy bed that delivers a multi-sensory media experience locally stored, streaming, on-demand, or real-time signals. The vibroacoustic therapy bed drives a plurality of sensory output devices based on a set of sensory output channels to produce sounds, vibrations, light patterns, or other sensory outputs. The channels may be derived from dedicated signals created for a specific sensory output device or may be derived from an audio file or other general set of waveforms. The multi-sensory media experience may be customized to a user based on user profile data, metadata associated with the multi-sensory media experience, or biometric data. Furthermore, users can create customized multi-sensory media experiences from libraries of sounds or other media.
Data acquisition and analysis of human sexual response using a personal massaging device
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.
WIRELESS SMART ADULT TOY SYSTEM
A wireless smart adult toy system includes a smart health monitoring device to be worn by a user to detect and collect physical and physiological data of the body of the user continuously at a predetermined time interval, a smart control device mounted in the smart health monitoring device for receiving, analyzing and computing the physical and physiological data and then producing a corresponding control signal, and an adult toy mountable around the sexual organ of the user and drivable by the control signal in a wireless manner to make different movements at different degrees of intensity and rhythm and/or to produce different sound and light in response to the behaviors of the user.
Musculoskeletal vibration system for jointed limbs
A system provides compression of a limb of a patient and out-of-axis restraint of a joint of the limb being compressed and application of vibration to a first end of the limb so that the vibration is transmitted through the first end of the limb, the compressed joint, and through the remainder of the limb.
Implantable electroacupuncture device and method for treating erectile dysfunction
An implantable electroacupuncture device (IEAD) treats an erectile dysfunction condition of a patient through application of stimulation pulses applied at a target tissue location underlying, or in the vicinity of, at least one of acupoints BL52, BL23 or GV4. The IEAD includes an IEAD housing having an electrode configuration thereon that includes at least two electrodes, and pulse generation circuitry located within the IEAD housing and electrically coupled to the at least two electrodes. The pulse generation circuitry is adapted to deliver EA stimulation pulses to the patient's body tissue at or near the target tissue location in accordance with a specified stimulation regimen, the stimulation regimen requiring that the stimulation session have a duration of T3 minutes and a rate of occurrence of once every T4 minutes, and wherein a ratio of T3/T4 is no greater than 0.05.
