System, method, and apparatus for applying transcutaneous electrical stimulation

A system, method, and apparatus for treating a medical condition by applying transcutaneous electrical stimulation to a target peripheral nerve of a subject. Electrical stimulation is applied to the peripheral nerve via a stimulation electrode pattern under closed-loop control in which EMG responses are monitored and used to adjust stimulation parameters. In response to detecting an unacceptable recording, electrical stimulation is applied to the peripheral nerve under open-loop control.

Computational simulations of anatomical structures and body surface electrode positioning

A method may include identifying a simulated three-dimensional representation corresponding to an internal anatomy of a subject based on a match between a computed two-dimensional image corresponding to the simulated three-dimensional representation and a two-dimensional image depicting the internal anatomy of the subject. Simulations of the electrical activities measured by a recording device with standard lead placement and nonstandard lead placement may be computed based on the simulated three-dimensional representation. A clinical electrogram and/or a clinical vectorgram for the subject may be corrected based on a difference between the simulations of electrical activities to account for deviations arising from patient-specific lead placement as well as variations in subject anatomy and pathophysiology.

System and method for generating acupuncture points on reconstructed 3D human body mesh for physical treatment are disclosed. The computing device obtains a first two-dimensional image of a human subject that captures at least a predefined portion of the human subject; processes the first two-dimensional image of the first human subject using a trained human body recovery model to obtain a plurality of parameters representing a three-dimensional human body mesh with corresponding acupuncture points. The trained human body recovery model includes an iterative three-dimensional regression module that is supervised by a discriminator and that minimizes a combined loss below a preset threshold. The combined loss includes a discriminator error that provides a measure of whether the obtained three-dimensional human body mesh with corresponding acupuncture points correspond to real human shape, pose, and acupuncture points.
