A therapeutic device for applying vibration, thermal and compressive therapy is disclosed. According to one embodiment, the device has a top layer and a bottom layer adapted to contact a body surface of a user. The device further includes a therapeutic element disposed between the top layer and the bottom layer, the therapeutic element including a vibration component, a thermal component, and a compression component, where, upon activation of the therapeutic element: (i) the vibration component applies a vibration force, (ii) the thermal component applies a thermal therapy, and (iii) the compression component applies a compressive force.

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.

A wearable device includes a housing to encompass a portion of a body part, biometric sensors coupled to the housing, a controller coupled to the housing and biometric sensors, a communication channel for communicating with external devices and a temperature regulator to controllably adjust a temperature of the housing. The wearable device is configured to provide remote controlled heating and cooling of the body part. The wearable device may include an evaporative heat exchanger and a thermoelectric heat pump. The wearable device may provide means for dissipating heat through vaporization of a substance or using an advective flux and phase transition.

A wearable temperature control assembly includes a temperature control module comprising a contact and a thermal element configured to heat or cool the contact. The assembly also includes a primary strap configured to receive the temperature control module and secure the contact against a subject. The assembly also includes a secondary strap configured to be connected to the primary strap. The secondary strap is configured to provide adjustment of a pressure between the contact and the subject when the primary strap secures the contact to the subject.

An apparatus for damaging or killing cancer cells in a living human body comprising a temperature monitoring apparatus that allows a user to monitor the temperature of a tumor and the surrounding tissue, such that when the tumor is at a temperature greater than the surrounding tissue, either because that is the nature of the tumor or because the tumor temperature has been raised through the introduction of an organic substance, an energy source may be used to elevate the temperature of the tumor above a critical temperature that damages or kills the tumor, but does not kill the surrounding non-cancerous cells because they start off at a lower temperature and are never allowed to go above the critical temperature that damages or kills those non-cancerous cells.

The assembly also includes a secondary strap configured to be connected to the primary strap. The secondary strap is configured to provide adjustment of a pressure between the contact and the subject when the primary strap secures the contact to the subject.

A hands-free intraoral device for imparting a chilling treatment to a zone of intraoral tenderness within an oral cavity of a user. The hands-free intraoral device includes a carrier having a proximal end and a distal end. The distal end of the carrier is configured to be received within the oral cavity of the user and the proximal end of the carrier is configured to extend to a front and/or externally of the oral cavity of the user. A cooling element formed of a thermally conductive material selected to impart the chilling treatment to the zone of intraoral tenderness. A positioning element is operable to urge at least a portion of the cooling element in abutment with the zone of intraoral tenderness, providing for a hands-free positioning of the cooling element in abutment with the zone of intraoral tenderness.

A device for cooling locally, including a cooling member, a crystal having the capacity to cool via absorption of a near-infrared exciting light signal, an illuminating system intended to deliver an exciting light signal, the crystal having an elongate shape about a longitudinal axis between a near end and a far end and having a closed constant outside cross section and containing a central channel formed, from its far end, over at least some of its length, the cooling member including a rod embedded via a first end into the central channel of the crystal and including a protruding second end that forms a cooling finger.

The present invention provides a weighted article for assisting sleep, wherein the weighted article includes heating and cooling means. The weighted article is perforated by a series of channels, which contribute to the weight of the weighted article and allow the passage of a fluid that is continuously pumped throughout the weighted article while the weighted article is in use. The weighted article is connected to a control unit including means to thermoelectrical heat or cool the fluid such that a user of the weighted article is able to increase or decrease their body temperature.
