A compression garment having one or more flex frames that can be shortened or lengthened to apply or release a compressive force to the limb or other anatomical feature of a user. The compression garment can have a wire made of shape memory material (shape memory alloy). A controller of the compression garment can supply an electrical input to the wire, generating heat that can cause the wire to contract such that the flex frame deflects to a shorter length to apply a compressive force to the limb or other anatomical feature of the user. The one or more flex frames can be contracted in unison or in sequence to direct the flow of bodily fluids in the limb or other anatomical feature of the user.

An alignment device for assisting a rescuer for correctly aligning a mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) device. The alignment device can guide positioning of the backboard so that the backboard is correctly positioned prior to connecting an upper portion of the mechanical CPR device to the backboard. The alignment device can also include positioning the mechanical CPR device without a backboard or positioning the backboard and the upper portion of the mechanical CPR device nearly simultaneously.

A walking assistance device deformable based on a thigh shape includes a hip joint actuator, an upper thigh frame connected to the hip joint actuator and configured to receive power from the hip joint actuator and rotate about a first axis and rotate about a second axis intersecting the first axis, a motion frame connected to the upper thigh frame, the motion frame including a plurality of segment frames configured to rotate relative to each other, and a lower thigh frame connected to the motion frame.

A treatment system includes a treatment device adapted to contact a vulvar or vaginal tissue of a body and includes a treatment mechanism configured to apply a treatment to the tissue and at least one sensor configured to provide objective sensor data related to the tissue. An external device is configured to receive subjective information provided by a user or a third party and to receive the objective sensor data from the treatment device. The external device includes a processor configured to use the subjective information and the objective sensor data in a decision matrix to issue commands to at least the treatment mechanism that correspond to treatment instructions based on the subjective information and the objective data. The treatment instructions include instructions related to controlling the treatment mechanism and its application of treatment to the tissue and a treatment duration.

The present disclosure generally relates to intelligent garments that provide thermal regulation in a variety of environments. The garments may include different layers such as a hydrophobic layer in direct contact with a wearer's skin surface and saturated with an aqueous mixture, a spacer layer, a reflective layer, and an outer hydrophobic layer. The layers of the garment may work together to reduce the metabolic expenditure of the wearer in extreme environmental conditions or during demanding physical activity. A variety of sensors may be displaced throughout the garments so as to enable the collection of data associated with wearers as well as environmental conditions. Wearers may control the thermal balance and other properties of the garments as desired.

Proposed are a body care motion tracking device and a body care management method using the same. More specifically, proposed are a body care motion tracking device and a body care management method using the same, which are capable of: tracking body care, which is beauty management performed by manual-manipulation, through a tracking device and storing the body care having been tracked as data; and visualizing stored data and displaying the data on a display device, thereby performing user-customized manual-manipulation management on the basis of the same.

An ECG signal processing system which removes the CPR-induced artifact from measured ECG signals obtained during the administration of CPR.

Provided are a method for providing a massage to stimulate a growth plate for promoting growth and a massage apparatus. The massage apparatus includes: a body data calculation unit for calculating length related information of at least a portion of a body part of a user; a growth plate stimulation massage pattern determination unit for determining a growth plate stimulation massage pattern on the basis of the calculated body length related information; and a growth plate stimulation massage providing unit for providing a massage on the basis of the growth plate stimulation massage pattern.

A device configured for a vehicle for supporting and massaging a neck of a passenger is provided. The device is configured such that a neck support pad is integrally formed on a lower end portion of a headrest to hold up and support the neck of a passenger, and a massage device is mounted in the neck support pad to massage the neck of the passenger, thus stably supporting and massaging the neck of the passenger sitting on a seat.

Provided is a massage system for a massage facility in which a robot arm is provided and a massage is performed with respect to a user by the robot arm, the system including a control unit configured to cause the robot arm to perform a massage operation in response to a program, and a setting unit configured to receive a setting operation of a setting position used for the massage operation from an operator, in which the control unit is configured to cause the robot arm to perform the massage operation with respect to a treatment position based on the setting position.
