At least one duct disposed proximate to one of the at least two front panel sections is in fluid engagement with the outlet of the deformable reservoir. At least one nozzle disposed upon an end of the duct distal from the deformable reservoir operatively conveys the fluid from the duct to the upper torso, chest and neck area of the wearer.

A brassiere incorporating a hot flash mitigation system for cooling the upper torso, chest and neck area of a wearer is disclosed. The brassiere incorporating a hot flash mitigation system provides for a brassiere and at least one electronic hot flash mitigation system cooperatively associated thereto. The electronic hot flash mitigation system provides at least one fluid source having a valve in fluid engagement with an outlet thereof, at least one duct disposed proximate to one of the at least two front panel sections and in fluid engagement with the outlet of the fluid source, and at least one nozzle disposed upon an end of the duct distal from the fluid source and in fluid communication with the at least one duct.

A wearable appliance or a set of wearable appliances, arranged for being worn by a person on the person's body comprises: one or more cold applicators, one or more biosignal sensors for measuring biosignals indicative of physiological stress experienced by the person and control circuitry connected to the one or more cold applicators and configured so as to activate them in response to detection, based upon the measured biosignals, that the person experiences elevated physiological stress. According to a further aspect, the invention proposes a communication system comprising a wearable appliance (24) or a set of wearable appliances (24, 26) and one or more mobile terminals (22) comprising each a human interface device with one or more output devices (40, 46, 50) for indicating the level of stress to a second person holding the mobile terminal and with one or more input devices (44, 50) for receiving input from that person. The system translates input received by the one or more mobile terminals into a control signal provided to the one or more cold applicators (18).

A cervical collar that facilitates therapeutic hypothermia is provided and includes an outer shell having a front portion and a back portion fixedly coupled to the front portion on one side and removably coupled to the front portion on an opposite side. A fastening device removably couples the back portion to the front portion on the opposite side. At least one cooling device is provided on an interior of the outer shell to induce hypothermia in a patient. A sensor is provided that measures a physical characteristic of the patient.

An apparatus including a thermal ceramic module including a body, a first supporting plate located on the body, a second supporting plate located on the first plate, an ascending and descending driving part coupled to a lower portion of the first plate and configured to move the first plate in a vertical direction on the basis of the body, and a ceramic member coupled to the second plate; a weight sensor provided on a lower surface of the second plate to sense a body pressure of a user; and a controller configured to control a massage mode of the thermal ceramic module, wherein the controller controls a driving height of the ascending and descending driving part according to the body pressure of the user sensed by the weight sensor to provide the same pressure to the user through the ceramic member on the basis of a predetermined desired intensity.

A therapeutic device such as an eye mask or compress for delivery of moist heat therapy to a body part such as an eye of a human or animal subject. Example devices are configured to be worn with one or more eye coverage portions positioned over the subject's eye(s). The eye coverage portions have a front side configured for placement against the treated body part, and a back side opposite the front side. The eye coverage portions include recesses or retracted sections configured to be positioned over the wearer's cornea area. The shell of the eye coverage portions may further incorporate antimicrobial properties. Heat transfer mediums or fill materials can include hydrophilic zeolite, silica gel, and/or one or more phase change materials so as to provide controlled performance characteristics.

A cervical collar that facilitates therapeutic hypothermia is provided and includes a cooling device having a front portion and a back portion fixedly coupled to the front portion on one side and removably coupled to the front portion on an opposite side. A fastening device removably couples the back portion to the front portion on the opposite side. The cooling device induces hypothermia in at least a portion of a patient. A sensor is provided that measures a physical characteristic of the patient.

A multi-sectional therapy wrap can include a first wrap section joined to a second wrap section through a specialized junction that allows the wrap sections to overlap. The junction can also be divided into two portions to facilitate fluid flow between one wrap section and the other wrap section.

Disclosed is a head-wearable stimulating device for human having a function for thermal therapy to temporomandibular joints, and an electric thermal therapy device. The stimulating device for human according to the present disclosure is a device having a function for thermal therapy to temporomandibular joints, and includes: a body configured to be worn on a head; and an electric heating main thermal therapy section disposed at the body to be able to perform thermal therapy on temporomandibular joints and generating heat using electricity. The stimulating device for human may further include a neck stimulation band having a neck thermal therapy section for performing thermal therapy on muscles at a neck, and disposed under the body to be able to be worn on a neck. Since the present disclosure performs thermal therapy on temporomandibular joints on a head, it is possible to stably apply stimulation for human including thermal therapy to target areas even if a user is moving. Further, since the present disclosure heats temporomandibular joint areas in an electric heating type, it is possible to remove a process of preheating a material such as silica gel in a thermal therapy pack using water or a microwave over a predetermined time before performing thermal therapy on temporomandibular joints. Further, it is possible to remove various inconveniences such as the difficulty in keeping/maintaining temperature accompanying use of existing thermal therapy packs or the problem of a skin burn.
