A non-invasive method and device for treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in a patient are disclosed. The method calls for positioning electrodes, and applying electrical symmetrical bursts. In particular, positioning step requires positioning a plurality of electrodes in electrical contact with the skin of a target region of the abdomen of the patient. The application step calls for applying a series of electrical symmetrical bursts to said electrodes. That application step generates contractions of abdominal muscles thereby generating movements of a digestive system of said patient wherein said movements are for causing the content of the esophagus to return to the stomach and to relieve GERD symptoms of said patient.

Some embodiments relate to a 2D array/chain of basic units where each basic unit is individually addressable. Each basic unit may include a rigid or semi-rigid platee.g. of electrically insulating material and an electrode (e.g. ball electrode)for example, a ball-shaped electrode. The device may be used to treat biological tissuee.g. to provide TEMS muscle stimulation.

Systems, devices and methods to facilitate wireless interaction between an implantable therapy delivery device and an external transmitter device are provided. In an example, the systems, devices, and methods discussed herein include or use a garment for receiving and positioning an external transmitter device proximal to an implanted device, and the external transmitter device includes a midfield device configured to provide one or more signals to manipulate evanescent fields outside of tissue to generate a propagating and focused field in the tissue. In an example, the garment includes a receptacle configured to receive and retain the external transmitter device near a tissue interface, and the garment further includes a dielectric portion provided between the receptacle and the tissue interface. In an example, the dielectric portion has a relative permittivity that is approximately the same as the relative permittivity of air.

The invention is concerned with an EMS garment, such as a vest or a bottom strap, for enclosing a body part of a trainee during an EMS training session, comprising textile area sections (1, 2, 3; 101, 102, 103) for plane snuggling to the body part, and EMS electrodes for transmitting EMS stimuli consisting of current pulses and/or alternating current with predetermined values such as amplitude and frequency from a connected EMS stimulation generating unit to the body part, which EMS electrodes are each connected to one of the textile area sections (1, 2, 3; 101, 102, 103) and are each formed as a pad or a textile structure section having an electrically conductive conductive layer so as to flexibly snuggle to the body part, wherein

the EMS garment comprises, in regions facing the front side and the rear side of the body part, at least one of the textile area sections (1, 2, 3; 101, 102, 103), wherein

the textile area sections (1, 2, 3; 101, 102, 103) facing the front side and the rear side are connected along a height direction of the erected body part by stretch sections (4, 5; 104; 105) facing both flanks of the body part, each of which consists of a rubber-elastic, elastomeric solid material or is formed in the manner of a corset by a rubber-elastic band which is guided through eyelets at the edges of the two textile area sections (1, 2, 3; 101, 102, 103) to be connected to one another by the stretch sections (4, 5; 104; 105).
