A vagus nerve stimulation system for mammals includes signal generating, conditioning, and control electronics, stimulation monitoring electronics, and a collar coupling apparatus configured for coupling energy emitters anatomically proximal to the cervical branch of the vagus nerve. Collar coupling apparatus includes multiple, position-stabilizing anti-rotation bodies, at least one position verification indicator, and a movable car housing energy emitter circuits or an inductive energy transducer. Two energy modalities are available via electrodes for electrical stimulation and induction-powered haptic emitters for vibrational stimulation. In an advanced configuration, a stimulation transducer produces inductive energy transmitted to an energy receiver-emitter package percutaneously introduced in the subcutaneous layer proximal to the vagus nerve target. Subcutaneous energy receiver-emitters include electrical and haptic variants, both having magnetic compositions which enable spatial position matching with external transducers using Hall sensor technology. In the haptic receiver-emitter variant, a magnetic composition produces haptic stimulation via electromagnetic induction from the external transducer. A further configuration includes an RFID tag in the subcutaneously deposited energy receiver-emitter package. A modularized configuration offers selectable, interchangeable energy emitter packages for electric and haptic stimulation. Stimulation control electronics are comprised within an external computerized device having a GUI for user parameterization of stimulation. A closed loop stimulation variant operates according to algorithmic programming incorporating cardiorespiratory sensor feedback and divisional monitoring of autonomic nervous system indicia and sensor actigraphy.

A massage tool with a patting structure includes a main body and a patting assembly. The main body is provided with a massage groove. The patting assembly is disposed in the massage groove; and one end of the patting assembly is connected to one side surface of the massage groove, and the other end of the patting assembly is connected to the other side surface of the massage groove. The patting assembly is movably disposed in the massage groove and configured to pat and massage the skin. By being movably disposed in the massage groove, the patting assembly massages a specific organ acupoint of a user, resolving the problem that a massage tool cannot massage an acupoint around a vaginal organ in multiple manners.

An electronic device for percussive massage therapy is described. The device includes a reciprocating member configured to move at any number of different amplitudes and frequencies. In one example of the device of the present invention, the device is configured with a number of gears which permit amplitude to be varied between a great number of amplitudes within a predetermined range. In another example of the device of the present invention, a threaded stroke adjustment apparatus is positioned at the front of the device, and may be rotated in a first direction to increase stroke, and may be rotated in a second direction to decrease stroke. Amplitude and frequency may be adjusted in real time. In yet another example of the device of the present invention, stroke adjustment is achieved by moving an eccentric drive axle at varying distances with respect to a centerline of the motor.

A percussive therapy device includes a housing, an electrical source, a motor positioned in the housing, a switch for activating the motor, and a push rod assembly operatively connected to the motor and configured to reciprocate in response to activation of the motor. A massage attachment is removably received on a distal end of the push rod assembly at a first location. The percussive therapy device also includes an attachment module associated with the housing of the percussive therapy device at a second location. The second location is different than the first location. The attachment module is configured to provide an active effect.

A patient support includes a mattress with an inflatable bladder, where the inflatable bladder has a cavity and an upper bladder wall forming an outwardly facing side for facing and supporting the patient on the patient mattress and forming an inwardly facing side facing into the cavity. The patient support further includes a light transmitter operable to emit light through the cavity to impinge on the inwardly facing side of the upper bladder wall and a light receiver operable to detect a reflection of the light off the inwardly facing side of the bladder wall, with the light receiver generating a signal responsive to detecting the reflection. A controller is in communication with the light transmitter and is operable to determine immersion of a patient into the mattress based on the signal from the light receiver.
