A treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (“OSA”) of a user includes affixing a patch externally on a dermis of the user, the patch including a flexible substrate, an adhesive on a first side adapted to adhere to the dermis of the user, a processor directly coupled to the substrate, and electrodes directly coupled to the substrate. The treatment includes detecting an occurrence of OSA and activating the patch in response to the detecting, the activating including generating an electrical stimuli via the electrodes to activate the genioglossus muscle of the user.

The present disclosure discloses a textile-type multi-channel high-sensitivity sensing dry electrode plate including a body, a conductive cloth and at least one electrode connection part. The body is a sheet-shaped body. The conductive cloth is arranged on one side of the body. The conductive cloth includes at least one electrode part. The electrode connection part is arranged on the body, through the body and electrically connected to the electrode part of the conductive cloth. Moreover, the electrode connection part transmits currents onto the conductive cloth, so that the electrode part of the conductive cloth generates an effect of an electrotherapy or a thermotherapy, or both the electrotherapy and the thermotherapy simultaneously. The electrode part receives physiological electric signals transmitted by a human body and transmits the physiological electric signals back to an apparatus through the electrode connection part to perform a physiological measurement.

In one embodiment, the present invention provides a device, wherein the device comprises a skin patch, configured to attach to the skin surface of the perineum of a subject suffering from premature ejaculation, wherein the skin patch contains electrodes configured to deliver electrical impulses transcutaneously to the bulbcavernosus muscle of the subject, wherein the transcutaneously delivered electrical impulses are configured to treat premature ejaculation.

A trunk exoskeleton is provided including a flexible corset configured to wrap around a user's torso in the lumbar spine region. The flexible corset includes a plurality of vertical pockets formed around its perimeter. A plurality of flexor columns are included, each of which positioned in one of the plurality of vertical pockets. The flexor columns generate a flexor righting torque when bent from a vertical orientation. The multiple flexor righting torques from each of the plurality of flexor columns combine to generate a combined flexor righting torque. The combined flexor righting torque comprises a portion of a user trunk torque when the user's torso is angled from vertical.

A system for reducing trauma in the head or neck of a living being caused by acceleration of the head relative to a torso of the living being within a range of motion. The system includes a support engaging at least one of the head, neck, and shoulder of the living being without limiting the range of motion of the head or neck relative to the torso; a sensor in electrical communication with the system; a user interface in electrical communication with the sensor; and a damper associated with the support that is configured to mitigate the position, speed or acceleration of the head relative to the torso in response to information received by the sensor or user interface.

An acupuncture robot and an intelligent acupuncture system and method are provided. The acupuncture robot includes an acupuncture treatment host, a treatment electrode and a palm fixing frame, wherein the palm fixing frame is used for fixing a palm, and the treatment electrode is used for carrying out acupuncture massage treatment on holographic acupuncture points of a second metacarpal bone of the palm of a patient; and the acupuncture treatment host is in communication connection with a server to acquire an operation instruction, instructs, according to the operation instruction, the patient to use the acupuncture robot, and controls, according to the operation instruction, the treatment electrode such that same carries out acupuncture massage treatment on the holographic acupuncture points of the second metacarpal bone of the patient. The intelligent acupuncture system includes the acupuncture robot and the server.

A system, device and method are provided for exposing a patient to therapeutic resonant frequency patterns (RFP) for therapy and treatment of a patient, for example, biological tissue such as muscle, tendon, ligament, and nerve tissue. The resonance frequencies originate from many bioactive substances, pharmaceuticals or other compounds, and key frequencies of the RFP of a compound can be replicated and then delivered to a patient using an electromagnetic catalyst to provide therapeutic benefits. RFPs can be imprinted in a separate device using a plasma imprinting device and method. This separate device can be actively excited by a delivery mechanism that uses electromagnetic or mechanical waves to interact with the device. The actively excited device transmits the RFPs or therapeutic resonant frequency patterns to the patient for similar enhancements and therapeutic benefits.

A system, method, and apparatus for treating a medical condition by applying transcutaneous electrical stimulation to a target peripheral nerve of a subject. Electrical stimulation is applied to the peripheral nerve via a stimulation electrode pattern under closed-loop control in which EMG responses are monitored and used to adjust stimulation parameters. In response to detecting an unacceptable recording, electrical stimulation is applied to the peripheral nerve under open-loop control.

Methods and systems for treating sleep apnea using electrical stimulation to a patient's upper and/or lower respiratory nerve or muscle are described. A stimulation regimen can be used to achieve upper airway patency and/or rhythmic air flow in a coordinated fashion during sleep. In some cases, diaphragm activity is monitored to determine whether sufficient upper airway patency and/or rhythmic air flow is achieved and maintained. The stimulation regimen may be adjusted based on the diaphragm activity. In some cases, the system includes modularized components so that the components can be customized to an individual's needs.

An unattended approach can increase the reproducibility and safety of the treatment as the chance of over/under treating of a certain area is significantly decreased. On the other hand, unattended treatment of uneven or rugged areas can be challenging in terms of maintaining proper distance or contact with the treated tissue, mostly on areas which tend to differ from patient to patient (e.g. facial area). Delivering energy via a system of active elements embedded in a flexible pad adhesively attached to the skin offers a possible solution. The unattended approach may include delivering of multiple energies to enhance a visual appearance.
