The one or more thermal generation element assemblies, or the plurality of air bladder assemblies, or the plurality of electromagnetic coil assemblies, or a combination thereof are configured to provide a holistic mitigating effect on a vehicle occupant confined within the interior space of a vehicle for long periods of time.

An improved gas delivery system for a cryochamber that increases the efficiency, efficacy, and safety of cryotherapy treatments is disclosed. The system incorporates a high pressure cryogenic liquid source and a plurality of fluid discharge orifices for conveying fluid into the chamber. The orifices may further comprise atomizing nozzles, which eliminate the need for a heater in the system. The orifices are dispersed about the chamber and positioned to convey fluid either clockwise or counterclockwise about a central vertical axis of the chamber to promote cyclonic gas motion. The cryochamber may further comprise shielding that reduces the risks associated with inadvertent liquid discharge. The orifices may also be positioned at varying heights in the chamber and have varying diameters to facilitate targeted cryotherapy treatments. The improved gas delivery system enables the cryochamber to achieve the same or improved therapeutic benefits while consuming less cryogenic liquid per treatment and less energy.

An ozone and contrast therapy system including an enclosure defining an interior volume, a steam system having a steam dispenser for releasing steam within the interior volume, a cold shower system having a shower head for releasing cold water within the interior volume over a user, and an ozone system having a nozzle for releasing ozone into the interior volume.

A method of preparing cryogenic air for use in cryotherapy procedures, characterized in that liquid nitrogen (1) is fed from a cryogenic nitrogen tank (2) via a cryogenic duct (3) to at least one exchanger (4), wherein at the same time a breathing mixture (6), containing oxygen in a concentration of 17% to 100%, is fed, via an oxygen duct (7), from a breathing mixture (6) source (5), through the filter (8), to at least one exchanger (4), then in at least one exchanger (4), by means of a heat exchange between the breathing mixture (6) and liquid nitrogen (1), the breathing mixture (6) is cooled to the set temperature of minus 80° C. to minus 160° C., and then the cooled breathing mixture (6) is fed from at least one exchanger (4), via an upper pipe (9).

The invention pertains to a method for operating a cryocabin arrangement 100 with an open-top cabin 10, a cooling unit 20 and a number of fluid circulation units 30. The method comprises receiving user-specific data comprising at least temperature indications measureable, by a number of sensor devices, at skin surface of the user upon delivery of cooling fluid 201 into the cabin via the cooling unit followed by intake and recirculation of said cooling fluid by fluid circulation units, which further return recirculated cooling fluid 301 inside said cabin, and based on said user-specific data, selectively adjusting distribution of said cooling fluid 201, 301 inside the cabin, in terms of at least speed and/or direction of a fluidic flow, to a predetermined level during an operation cycle.

A support apparatus configured to support a person is provided. The support apparatus includes a top surface including one or more predetermined areas, one or more conduits located inside the support apparatus which are located proximate to the one or more predetermined areas, and an air supply configured to provide air to the one or more conduits for delivering to the one or more predetermined areas. The air supply includes a temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature of the air provided by the air supply, a cooling element, and a controller communicatively coupled to the temperature sensor and the cooling element. The controller determines whether the measured temperature of the air is higher than a predetermined temperature, and controls the cooling element to cool the air to the predetermined temperature if it is determined that the temperature of the air is higher than the predetermined temperature.

A method and apparatus includes an infant holding area, a display area, a heating system for warming the infant holding area, an environmental sensor, a physiological sensor, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive an environmental sensor input from the environmental sensor and a physiological sensor input from the physiological sensor. The processor is configured to determine a recommended skin temperature based on the environmental sensor input and the physiological sensor input. The processor is configured to display the recommended skin temperature on the display area.

A method of preparing cryogenic air for use in cryotherapy procedures, using liquid nitrogen and gaseous oxygen, characterized in that liquid nitrogen (1) is fed from a cryogenic nitrogen tank (2) via a cryogenic duct (3) to a reactor (4), wherein simultaneously a gas (7) containing oxygen in a concentration from 20% to 100% is fed from an oxygen source (5) to the reactor (4), through a gas duct (6), then, in the reactor (4), the liquid nitrogen (1) is evaporated using the gas (7) and both these components are mixed together, forming a cold breathable mixture (8), cooled to a set temperature of minus 80° C. to minus 160° C., which is further fed through a cold duct (9) terminated with an outlet (10) to a cryochamber (11).

In methods for treating a patient, a time varying magnetic field is applied to a patient's body and causes a muscle contraction. The time-varying magnetic field may be monophasic, biphasic, polyphasic and/or static. The method may reduce adipose tissue, improve metabolism, blood and/or lymph circulation. The method may use combinations of treatments to enhance the visual appearance of the patient.

Systems and methods for affecting metabolism, such as the treatment of metabolic syndrome are disclosed. A method for treating metabolic syndrome can include one or more of the steps including identifying a region of the patient comprising glabrous tissue; positioning the region of the patient comprising glabrous tissue into an enclosed chamber; adjusting the relative humidity of the enclosed chamber sufficient to create a physiologic metabolic effect; and activating a convection fan within the chamber to promote heat transfer from the glabrous tissue. The method need not involve altering the temperature within the enclosed chamber.
