The invention concerns an electrostimulation and/or iontophoresis device comprising a patch (10) suitable for application to a user's skin (12) and a voltage generator (22) suitable for applying a low intensity current through the user's skin by a system of electrodes located in said patch; This device is characterized in that it comprises a self-regulator (16) that varies the voltage supplied by the voltage generator as a function of the continuous measurement of the resistivity of the user's skin beneath said patch The resistance value of the skin provided by an element for measuring the resistance of the skin (24) yields the resistivity measurement.

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.

Apparatus for providing transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy to a user, the apparatus comprising: a housing; an application unit for providing mechanical coupling between the housing and the user's body; a stimulation unit for electrically stimulating at least one nerve of the user; a sensing unit for sensing the user's body movement and body orientation; and a reporting unit for providing the user with feedback based on the user's sensed body movement and body orientation.

Discussed generally herein are methods and devices including or providing a patch system that can help in diagnosing a medical condition and/or provide therapy to a user. A body-area network can include a plurality of communicatively coupled patches that communicate with an intermediate device. The intermediate device can provide data representative of a biological parameter monitored by the patches to proper personnel, such as for diagnosis and/or response.

An electrical stimulation device is provided. The electrical stimulation device according to one embodiment of the present inventive concept is worn on the head so as to apply electrical stimulation to the brain, and comprises: a frame to be worn on the head; an electrode structure including an electrode part formed of a conductive member and a cover unit formed of an insulating member covering at least a part of the electrode part, and of which one end is connected to the frame; and a patch detachable from the electrode structure and making contact with the head when attached to the electrode structure.

A transducer apparatus for delivering tumor treating fields to a subject's body, the transducer apparatus including: an array of electrode elements comprising all electrode elements present on the transducer apparatus, the array configured to be positioned over the subject's body with a face thereof facing the subject's body; when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the face, a number of electrode elements of the array are peripheral electrode elements defining an outer perimeter, the peripheral electrode elements substantially surrounding all other electrode elements; for each pair of adjacent peripheral electrode elements, a distance between the pair is not more than 25% greater than a distance between any other pair of adjacent peripheral electrode elements; and for each peripheral electrode element, an angle formed between the peripheral electrode element and its two adjacent peripheral electrode elements is greater than 90 and less than 180 degrees and facing interior to the array.

A method of applying tumor treating fields to a region of interest of a subject's body corresponding to a tumor, the method including: alternately applying to the region of interest a first electric field between a first pair of locations of the subject's body and a second electric field between a second pair of locations of the subject's body; detecting a change in the region of interest of the subject's body; ceasing applying the first and second electric fields; selecting, based on the detected change, a third pair of locations of the subject's body and a fourth pair of locations of the subject's body, the third and fourth pairs of locations being different than the first and second pairs of locations; and alternately applying to the region of interest a third electric field between the third pair of locations and a fourth electric field between the fourth pair of locations.
