A human body stimulation device and a human body stimulation method using the human body stimulation device. A human body stimulation device provides a multimodal massage to a user by performing a mechanical massage operation and a sonic vibration massage operation. The human body stimulation device includes a massage member in contact with a body part of the user, a first massage module which includes a motor operatively connected to the massage member to repeatedly move the massage member according to a massage pattern, a second massage module which includes a sonic vibration module to output sonic vibration corresponding to an audible frequency band and operatively connected to the massage member, and a controller which applies a first control signal for driving the motor to the motor and a second control signal for driving the sonic vibration module to the sonic vibration module.

There is provided a phototherapy apparatus, in which the therapeutic light is delivered through one or more massage components. The massage component provides mechanical massage to the subject biological tissue and modifies the properties of the subject tissue in thickness, density, etc. to facilitate the absorption of the therapeutic light and enhance the effect of the phototherapy procedure. The light source of the phototherapy apparatus is actively cooled by a synthetic jet cooler.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for applying pressure to a newborn baby. The apparatus defines a cavity for holding the newborn baby therein, and a plurality of expandable conduits that each substantially surround the cavity, where each conduit is independently expandable: (1) on transfer of fluid from a fluid source into the conduit; (2) on application of an electric potential from an electric potential source to the conduit; or (3) a combination thereof, to apply pressure along at least a portion of the length of the newborn baby held in the cavity. The present disclosure also discusses methods of applying pressure to a newborn baby in a pressure applying apparatus, and systems for applying pressure to a newborn baby.

A seat assembly includes first and second bladders and a controller. The first bladder has a sensor configured to detect a pressure of the first bladder. The controller is configured to inflate the first bladder to a target pressure, as detected by the sensor, and to inflate the second bladder based on time expended for the first bladder to be inflated to the target pressure.

A defibrillation system may include a cardiac arrest detector detecting whether cardiac arrest of a passenger has occurred in a state of taking a seat of a self-driving vehicle and fastening a seatbelt of the vehicle; a passenger posture detection device detecting a posture of the passenger; a seat driving device changing the posture of the passenger into another posture in which the passenger lies down based on a detection signal of the passenger posture detection device when the cardiac arrest of the passenger occurs; a heart position detector configured to search for a position of a heart of the passenger; a defibrillation robot to perform a CPR method or a method using an AED on the heart of the passenger; and a controller controlling operation of the seat driving device, the heart position detector, and the defibrillation robot based on detection signals of the cardiac arrest detector and the passenger posture detection device.

Systems and methods for identifying a condition of a user. A treatment apparatus is configured to be manipulated by the user for performing an exercise, and an interface is communicably coupled to the treatment apparatus. One or more sensors are configured to sense one or more characteristics of an anatomical structure of the user. A processing device and a memory is communicatively coupled to the processing device. The memory includes computer readable instructions, that when executed by the processing device, cause the processing device to: receive, from the sensors, one or more sensor inputs representative of the one or more of characteristics of the anatomical structures; calculate an infection probability of a disease based on the one or more characteristics of the anatomical structures; and output, to the interface, a representation of the infection probability.

A system is disclosed for stimulating venous and arterial circulation in a patient to prevent deep vein thrombosis, which includes a first inflatable garment sleeve configured to be wrapped around the left calf of the patient and having a first air input tube extending from an exterior surface thereof, a second inflatable garment sleeve configured to be wrapped around the right calf of the patient and having a second air input tube extending from an exterior surface of the second garment sleeve, a portable pump for cyclically inflating the first and second garment sleeves, and a bifurcated tube assembly for connecting the portable pump to the first and second air input tubes of the first and second garment sleeves.

A gastrointestinal treatment system including a gastrointestinal capsule adapted to treat a subject following ingestion of the gastrointestinal capsule. The gastrointestinal capsule includes: (a) a housing; (b) a vibrating agitator, powered by the battery, the vibrating agitator adapted such that, in a first vibrating mode of operation, the housing exerts vibrations on an environment surrounding the capsule; (c) a power supply disposed within the housing and adapted to power the vibrating agitator; and (d) a controller adapted, in response to receipt of an activation input, to activate the vibrating agitator to operate in the first vibrating mode of operation at at least one predetermined time of day. The system and method may be used to treat an ailment of the gastrointestinal tract and/or to mitigate at least one symptom of jetlag in a subject travelling from an origin location to a destination location.

A method that includes receiving treatment data associated with a user capable of using a treatment device to perform a treatment plan. The method also includes receiving user related data (URD) associated with the use and receiving alignment data associated with the user while the user engages in at least one activity. The method also includes identifying, based on at least the treatment data, the URD, and the alignment data, at least one alignment characteristic associated with the user and modifying at least one aspect of the treatment plan in response to receiving, from a healthcare professional, treatment plan input including at least one modification to the at least one aspect of the treatment plan.
