An electrode plate (100) and a wearable defibrillation device are disclosed. The electrode plate (100) includes a hermetic shell (110), a capsule (120) and a sealing structure (130). The hermetic shell (110) has an inflation port (111) and an overflow aperture (112). The overflow aperture (112) is disposed in a conductive exposed surface (113) of the hermetic shell (110). The capsule (120) is provided in the hermetic shell (110) and defines a cavity (122) for storage of a conductive paste therein. The cavity (122) defines an inlet orifice (123) and an outlet orifice (124). The overflow aperture (112) is disposed at the outlet orifice (124). A sealing component (132) of the sealing structure (130) is positioned at the overflow aperture (112) and configured to close the overflow aperture (112) and the outlet orifice (124) when the hermetic shell (110) is not inflated. The force applying component (131) of the sealing structure (130) is disposed on the hermetic shell (110) and then is connected to the sealing component (132) after being inserted into the capsule (120) through the inlet orifice (123). The force applying component (131) is configured to pull the sealing component (132) as a result of inflation and expansion of the hermetic shell (110) and thus open the overflow aperture (112) and the outlet orifice (124) and bring them into communication. As a result, the conductive paste is allowed to flow through the outlet orifice (124) and the overflow aperture (112) onto the exposed surface (113). During cardiac defibrillation of the electrode plate (100), the conductive paste can automatically applied to provide a patient with timely protection, and the conductive paste can be released in a reliable and safe manner.

Systems, methods, and devices are described herein for evaluation, adjustment, and delivery of adaptive cardiac therapy. The systems, methods, and devices may utilize electrical heterogeneity information to determine and/or select one or more pacing settings and pacing type or configurations for a plurality of different heart rates. The adaptive cardiac therapy may deliver cardiac therapy at selected pacing settings such as, for example, A-V and/or V-V intervals, according to a presently measured heart rate and switch between left ventricular-only or biventricular cardiac pacing therapy also according to the presently measured heart rate.

An apparatus includes a frame, a sensor, and an electric stimulator. The frame is removably couplable to a portion of a limb. The sensor is configured to produce a first signal associated with a gait characteristic at a first time, and a second signal associated with the gait characteristic at a second time, after the first time. The electric stimulator is removably coupled to the frame and is in electrical communication with an electrode assembly and the sensor to receive the first signal substantially at the first time and the second signal substantially at the second time. Based in part on the gait characteristic at the first time, the electric stimulator sends a third signal to the electrode assembly to provide an electric stimulation to a portion of a neuromuscular system of the limb substantially during a time period defined between the first time and the second time.

[Problem] To provide a cosmetic mask which imparts effective stimulation to the appropriate position and has a tightening effect. [Solution] This cosmetic mask is worn on the face of a user, is able to cover at least the cheeks, and is equipped with a pair of simulators which impart electric or ultrasonic stimulation to a location corresponding to either the zygomatic muscle or masseter muscle of the user. The cosmetic mask may be equipped with a stimulator fitting unit for fitting the stimulators to a cheek position, and maybe constituted so that at least some of the stimulators are detachable. The cosmetic mask may also be equipped with a nosepiece which matches the protruding shape of the nose, a left-right fitting portion which is fitted while applying tensile force to the left and right sides of the face, and a vertical fitting portion which is fitted while applying tensile force from the lower surface of the mandible over both sides of the face to the top of the head.

The electrical stimulation garment includes an electrical stimulator, a flexible substrate, a plurality of electrical connectors, a plurality of electrodes and a plurality of locators. The electrical stimulation is applied to the body part by the electrical stimulator through the placement of the plurality of electrical connectors in contact with the plurality of electrodes to a prescribed area of the body part as identified by the plurality of locators.

The invention described herein provides for a portable autonomic nerve system stimulation device that may operate as an “open-loop” or “closed-loop” stimulation system and includes in some embodiments a paired therapy for a disease or condition. Embodiments of the inventive device include at least one stimulation circuit for the generation and delivery of a stimulation, at least one biological signal monitoring apparatus for monitoring a biological state of a user wearing the device, at least one controller in electrical communication with the stimulation circuit and at least one power supply for providing power to the controller and stimulation circuit. Aspects of the invention provides for a portable autonomic nerve system stimulation device which may be worn in the ear, or about the head, of a subject, patient or user.

Devices for treating sleep apnea or other conditions by bioelectric signaling include intraoral devices and facial masks. An intraoral device may include a flexible tube shaped to fit over a person's mandible or maxilla and extend along the person's oral mucosa on an interior side and an exterior side of the person's mandibular or maxillary arch or may include a plurality of adjustable, flexible arms extending from a base that may be positioned relative to the person's oral mucosa as desired. Facial masks may be shaped to fit over a person's nose and sinuses. A plurality of electrodes may be provided along the flexible tube, on respective flexible arms, and/or on a surface of the mask. An external or onboard processor may be operable to generate a bioelectric signal at one or more of the plurality of electrodes to heal, restore, or maintain the body's own bioregulatory functions.
