Disclosed are devices and systems designed to assist an examiner in assessing the level of pain sensitivity in a patient, along with methods of using of the devices and/or systems. The device contains a tip for applying pressure to a point of the patient's body; a pressure sensor used to measure the pressure; a displacement sensor used to measure the depth of probing; and an optional third sensor used to measure temperature. The device can therefore simultaneously measure the pressure applied by the probe and the distance travelled by the tip of said probe (i.e. the displacement achieved). The device can be included in a system, which receives the data from the aforementioned sensors, and the patient's perceived pain value on a scale of 1-10. These values can be analyzed over time (i.e. over multiple applications of the device) to permit the examiner to use the data obtained to assess potential changes in the level of pain or discomfort and/or amount of healing of the patient.

The present invention provides, among other things, apparatus and methods of use for treating a subject in need of assistance with breathing. In some embodiments the subject suffers from airflow obstruction. In some embodiments, the subject suffers from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

A body physiotherapy machine contains a conductive sphere member and a body configured to output electric physiotherapy energy to the conductive sphere member. The conductive sphere member is held by a user to contact his/her discomfort or acupuncture points so as to comfort the user and to enhance metabolism by ways of the electric physiotherapy energy, thus maintaining health easily.

Disclosed is a structure for therapeutic applications comprising at least one layer with sensor elements and heating elements. A first force affects the layer from one side and a second force affects the layer from the other side. The forces are detectable. The sensor elements can comprise, for example, position sensors, pressure sensors, and temperature sensors.

The present invention is directed to a massage chair having a massage chair frame, a massage and stretching system, and a noise-reducing, enclosure device. The frame includes a first end, a second end, a seat body area portion, and a back body area portion. The massage system includes at least one air massage element, an air pump, and at least one air valve device for regulating air flow into and out of the air massage element. The enclosure device includes an enclosure housing and noise-reducing material positioned inside the housing. The housing encloses the air pump and air valve device(s) during operation such that noise generated from or made by the air pump and air valve device(s) during operation is reduced, contained or eliminated. The present invention may include additional features: manual or automated armrest sliding, manual or automated shoulder massager with sliding mechanism, remote software update, media player holder, virtual reality player, wireless charger, hammering devices, heating acupuncture devices, and oxygen generator.

A smart walking assistance device with a walker frame having generally vertical sides and an intersecting front. Wheels located at both ends of a bottom edge of the sides. A soft robotic sensing handle extends in a C shape along the upper edges of the sides and front. The sensing handle has multiple contiguous air filled chambers, each containing a pressure sensor for producing a pressure signal representing the pressure within the chamber. A microcontroller unit receives the pressure signals from the pressure sensors of the handle chambers and determines the status of at least one of the device and a user of the device based on the pressure signals. A stabilization mechanism is driven by the microcontroller so as to stabilize the walker in response to the determined status of at least one of the walker and the user.

A modulating heater system for a pool or spa includes a pool or spa heater capable of variably modulating energy output thereof and a controller communicatively coupled thereto. The controller determines a predicted load based on a previous load, ambient and water temperatures, and estimated pool/spa size, and determines an overshoot setpoint for an operational mode. The controller establishes a target temperature setpoint for the mode and receives a current water temperature. The controller determines whether the overshoot setpoint plus target temperature setpoint is greater than the current water temperature, and determines an error based thereon. The controller determines if the error is less than or greater than a target for the mode, and, based on this determination, determines a heater modulation rate for the mode taking into account the mode, maximum heater output, and available fuel supply. The controller controls the heater to operate at the determined modulation rate.
