The present invention relates to a resuscitation chamber apparatus for administering hyperbaric oxygen to a patient. More particularly, the present invention relates to a hyperbaric oxygen compatible critical care chamber apparatus preferably for use in emergency departments and/or prehospital ambulance management of patients. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the apparatus is a resuscitation monoplace hyperbaric chamber preferably used in critical care management of acutely ill or injured patients in prehospital emergency medical services (EMS) settings or in hospital emergency departments. The apparatus preferably allows a critical care shock or arrested patient to be pressurized preferably without compromise for application of best medical equipment, medications and human resuscitating intervention.

An apparatus and method for applying caresses and massages, comprising an apparatus composed of a fixed lower section, which acts as a base, contains the lifting mechanisms, and houses a movable upper section, with a housing that accommodates the rest of the components of the device; a SCARA-type deployable robotic arm housed in the upper section and composed by a plurality of staggered parallel links and articulated at their ends by a power transmission mechanism comprised by motors with belts placed on pulleys coupled to concentric hollow shafts. The upper section is placed on a sliding and rotary platform that supports and guides it on the vertical axis through a vertical lead screw lifting mechanism, also allowing it to rotate on its own axis. The apparatus performs the movements by implementing a method of preset caress and massage patterns assisted by artificial intelligence and guided by several sensors.

A wearable apparatus for assisting muscular strength includes a back support, and a connection chain having a first end portion coupled to the back support to be rotatable upward or downward. The connection chain extends from the back of the wearer to a side thereof and includes a plurality of rotary elements arranged abreast laterally, each rotary element being rotatably coupled to an adjacent rotary element laterally. The wearable apparatus further includes an upper arm module that extends in a direction in which an upper arm of the wearer extends, one end portion of the upper arm module coupled to a second end portion of the connection chain to be rotatable upward or downward with respect to the one end portion. The upper arm module generates a rotational force for rotating the upper arm of the wearer upward or downward.

A robotic assembly comprises a first joint comprising first and second support members rotatably coupled together, and a joint position restoration assembly coupled to at least one of the first or second support members. The joint position restoration assembly can comprise a first spring and a mechanical linkage, wherein the joint position restoration assembly is operable to apply a restoring torque to the first joint. The joint position restoration assembly can be configured to provide a restoring torque versus joint position profile relative to the first joint that corresponds to known mass properties of at least a portion of the robotic assembly acting on or otherwise associated with the first joint, such that, when the first joint is not undergoing powered actuation, the joint position restoration assembly operates to apply, based on the profile, the restoring torque to position and to support the first joint in a stable support position.

A robotic assistant includes a wheeled base, a body positioned on the base, a foldable seat rotatably connected to the body, an actuator to rotate the foldable seat with respect to the body, and a control system that receives command instructions. The actuator is electrically coupled to the control system. In response to the command instructions, the control system is to control the actuator to rotate the foldable seat to a folded position or an unfolded position. The control system is further to detect whether an external force from a user has applied to the foldable seat, and release the actuator to allow the foldable seat to be manually rotated.

A mobile robot system and method for determining the stiffness of a human arm while moving with a user during overground interaction as the user holds the robot's handle and exchanges forces with it. A mobile base moves with the user, a robot arm interacts with the user, and a controller determines the stiffness. The robot arm includes servomotors driving a linkage mechanism, an end effector including the handle supported by the linkage mechanism, and a force transducer measuring a force applied by the user to the handle. The controller causes the robot arm to generate a force perturbation at the handle, measure a peak velocity achieved by the human arm, determine the stiffness of the human arm as a function of force and displacement, and control operation of the system based on the determined stiffness. A robot body may allow for adjusting the height of the robot arm.

An acupuncture robot and an intelligent acupuncture system and method are provided. The acupuncture robot includes an acupuncture treatment host, a treatment electrode and a palm fixing frame, wherein the palm fixing frame is used for fixing a palm, and the treatment electrode is used for carrying out acupuncture massage treatment on holographic acupuncture points of a second metacarpal bone of the palm of a patient; and the acupuncture treatment host is in communication connection with a server to acquire an operation instruction, instructs, according to the operation instruction, the patient to use the acupuncture robot, and controls, according to the operation instruction, the treatment electrode such that same carries out acupuncture massage treatment on the holographic acupuncture points of the second metacarpal bone of the patient. The intelligent acupuncture system includes the acupuncture robot and the server.

A medicine application device with ultrasonic massage enabling concentrated supply of medicine, including a medicine concentrated supply device, at least one ultrasonic massage mechanism, a medicine supply pipe and power cables. The ultrasonic massage mechanism has a shell, a base panel having massage projections, and an electrical ultrasonic vibration element; the medicine concentrated supply device has a housing, a control panel, a circuit board, and a medicine supply device. The medicine application device provides high frequency ultrasonic massage and applies medicinal therapy to patients.

A health care device includes a health care body for positioning a body part of a user, so as to maintain a first specific positional relationship with the body part, wherein the body part has an acupoint; an acupoint work piece for performing a health care work onto the use through the acupoint; and a work piece holder having a first end connected to the health care body and a second end for fixing the acupoint work piece, so that under the first specific positional relationship, the acupoint work piece performs the health care work under the condition that the acupoint work piece has a second specific positional relationship with the acupoint. A health care body, method and system are also provided.

An embodiment includes an exoskeleton robotic system including: a first linkage; a bearing coupled to the first linkage; a joint including a motor configured to move the first linkage along the bearing; an axial load sensor configured to sense an axial force transmitted to the axial load sensor via the joint, the axial force including one of tension or compression but not torque; a bracket including first and second bracket locations and first and second arms; and a housing that includes at least part of the joint and which couples the bracket to the bearing. The bracket couples to the housing at the first bracket location and couples to the axial load sensor at the second bracket location.
