AUTOMATED CARDIAC MASSAGE DEVICE AND METHOD
20230218477 · 2023-07-13 ·

An automated cardiac massage device has two dynamic, multilayered compressive units oriented to compress the heart using an outer, non-compliant layer which supports an inner layer made of expandable and compressive material configured to contract and expand to facilitate cardiac filling and ejection. The compressive units are attached to a flexible apex member which modulates the shape and position of the two compressive units to provide maximal apposition to the heart while the device remains in use. Barometric pressure sensors may be incorporated on the inner layer of the compressive unit to measure the systolic and filling diastolic pressure within the heart. A third, detachable, phalange arises from the flexible apex member to provide a third station of support for the heart should the configuration of the compressive units require an additional point of support to secure the heart within the apparatus.

Massage machine

Under the control of a controller, a drive mechanism portion moves a massaging member and an ascent-descent mechanism moves up and down the massaging member together with the entire drive mechanism portion. During an ordinary kneading massage, the massaging member performs a relative motion to describe a reference locus in the shape of a closed curve. The controller controls to make the massaging member perform a relative reciprocating movement within a partial movement range corresponding to a partial segment of the reference locus and simultaneously controls to make the ascent-descent mechanism move the drive mechanism portion up and down. The relative reciprocating movement of the massaging member along the partial segment of the reference locus and the up-down movement of the entire drive mechanism portion are combined together to produce a new motion of the massaging member describing a locus different from the reference locus.

THERAPEUTIC PRESSURE, THERMAL, AND/OR OTHER TREATMENT MODALITY SYSTEMS AND METHODS

Systems and methods described herein include a pressure delivery component that has a pressure applicator configured to selectively apply therapeutic pressure to a treatment portion of a user body, and also includes a thermal delivery component that has a thermal applicator that is a configured to apply thermal treatment to the treatment portion.

Moreover, the pressure applicator is operable to apply pressure to the thermal applicator to enhance apposition of the thermal applicator to the treatment portion.

Dynamically Controlled Treatment Protocols for Autonomous Treatment Systems
20230211084 · 2023-07-06 · ·

Systems, and methods relate to a medical device receiving a treatment parameter operating point within a first operating region defined by a first set of operating points for which automatic incremental adjustment of a parameter in the current operation is permitted. In an illustrative example, incremental adjustment may use artificial intelligence based on patient feedback and sensor measurement of outcomes. Some exemplary devices may receive a request to alter the current treatment parameter operating point to a second treatment parameter operating point outside the first operating region and in a second operating region in a known safe operation zone, bounded by a known unsafe zone unavailable to the user. In the second operating region, some examples may restrict the step size of incremental adjustments requested by the user. Data may be collected for cloud-based analysis, for example, to facilitate discovery of more effective treatment protocols.
