Processing generated sensor data of a mobile deep vein thrombosis (DVT) device may include identifying use of the mobile DVT device corresponding to a user. Sensor data associated with the user's identified use of the mobile DVT device may be generated. At least some of the generated sensor data may comprise use data associated with a duration of use of the mobile DVT device by the user. A protocol associated with use of the mobile DVT device may be processed. The generated use data and the protocol associated with use of the mobile DVT device may be correlated. Based on correlating the generated use data and the protocol, an alert associated with the generated use data and the protocol may be generated.

An acupressure device includes a mount that is configured to attach to a patient and one or more indenter devices attached to the mount. An indenter device is mounted such that the indenter device is positioned over an acupuncture location of the patient. The indenter device has a base that contacts the mount and a tip that contacts the acupuncture location on the patient.

A compression device particularly suited for DVT prophylaxis includes a disposable wrap and a re-usable controller removably mounted on the wrap to apply a tensioning force to the wrap when it is encircling the limb of a patient. The wrap includes a strap wrapped around an electric motor-driven pulley, with an encoder to determine the amount of rotation of the pulley and a current sensor to determine the current load on the motor during operation. A pretension protocol sets the pulley of the wrap at a proper frap position so that the wrap can properly execute a DVT prophylaxis protocol.

Apparatus and related methods relate to inducing body cavity evacuation. In an illustrative embodiment, a compressive headgear may be configured to selectively apply compression to predetermined points on a patient's head. The headgear may, for example, include a contraction induction control unit. The control unit may, for example, be operable to control the compression level applied by the headgear. The predetermined points may, for example, include a first parietal surface. The points may, for example, include a second parietal surface opposing the first. The points may, for example, include an occipital surface. Various embodiments may advantageously induce muscular contraction around a target body cavity, facilitating evacuation.

A compression device particularly suited for DVT prophylaxis includes a disposable wrap and a re-usable controller removably mounted on the wrap to apply a tensioning force to the wrap when it is encircling the limb of a patient. The wrap includes an RF chip with a unique identifier and the controller includes an RF sensor and processor to authenticate the wrap before commencing a compression cycle. A kiosk is provided for storing a plurality of wraps for use by patients and a plurality of controllers to be used with any of the wraps. The processor of each controller can control an electric motor in the controller to tighten and loosen the wrap according to a compression protocol between a pre-tension compression force and maximum compression force. The amount of movement of the wrap changes as the patient's physiology changes while maintaining the pre-tension and maximum compression forces.

Improved systems and methods for performing external counterpulsation (ECP) treatment are described. The system can be more compact and portable than conventional devices and, in some cases, can be incorporated into a pair of pants or a jumpsuit, such that the user can remain ambulatory during treatment. In various instances, the ECP techniques can include applying complex pulse sequences and treating conditions including cognitive disorders, diabetes, and renal disease, among others. The various techniques can also be used in emergency cardiac situations. The techniques can also be used to provide users with the benefits of exercise, without needing to experience the strain and difficulty associated with conventional cardiovascular exercise routines.
