Disclosed herein are systems and methods for providing a massage to an individual, comprising: sensing a parameter associated with the individual in response to the massage using a sensor; and guiding the massage based on the parameter.

Provided is a light irradiated toothbrush, in which light sources, irradiating light having mutually different wavelengths, are arranged in alternation at the bottom of waveguide bristles so that light of different wavelengths give rise to constructive interference which strengthens the intensity of the irradiated light, and the height of the light sources are varied on the basis of the wavelength of the light irradiated therefrom so as to effectively transmit light of short wavelengths to the waveguide bristles, and light having mutually different wavelengths are transmitted by means of the waveguide bristles, thereby effectively transmitting the light to the mouth of a user.

A system for assisting with a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) treatment being administered to a patient. In one aspect, a system for assisting with a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) treatment being administered to a patient includes a sensor for determining a parameter of the patient (e.g., indicative of a blood flow or pressure waveform), and one or more processors configured for receiving input from the sensor, determining, based on the input from the sensor, whether a rate of chest compressions administered in the CPR treatment should be changed, and providing an indication to a user that the rate of chest compressions should be changed.

Chest compression machine systems and methods adjust the administration of patient treatment based on received physiological parameter measurements, such as a CO2 measurement. Adjustment of the administered chest compressions can include adjusting one or more chest compression parameters, such as the depth of the administered compressions, the administration of active decompressions, adjusting the height of active decompression, adjusting the rate of compressions and/or active decompressions and/or other changes to one or more properties, or characteristics, of the administered chest compressions and/or active decompressions.

A garment with prepositioned, definite sensory stimulating devices attached. These sensory stimulating devices include, but are not limited to, electrical stimulation, audio and physical stimulation such as localised force generation, compression, constriction, vibration, and surround sound. Predetermined and defined actuators allow the wearer to receive tissue, nerve and/or muscle stimulation and/or contraction so that the stimulation is precise as determined by its ability to conform to the scientific methodology of repeatability, reproducibility and reliability; this being due to consistency of actuator positioning in one or multiple locals on the human body. A personal surround sound can also be integrated to the garment to ensure the wearer is always in the optimal position relative the speakers. These actuators can be force generators within the garment for the wearer to feel impact or apparatus or electrodes included in the garment to locally constrict and increase pressure on the wearer.

A medical system for assisting with an intubation procedure for a patient. The system comprising airflow sensors configured to obtain data indicative of airflow in the patient's airway and physiological sensors configured to obtain information regarding airflow in the patient's lungs. The system further including a monitoring device communicatively coupled to the airflow sensors and the physiological sensors. The patient monitoring device comprising at least one processor coupled to memory and configured to: provide a user interface on a display and assist the rescuer in determining proper placement of an endotracheal tube, receive the data indicative of the airflow in the patient's airway, receive the physiological information regarding the airflow in the patient's lungs, and determine whether the tube is properly placed based on the received physiological information, and present an output of the determination of whether the ET tube was properly placed.

A system includes a guidance device that provides feedback to a user to compress a patient's chest at a rate of between about 90 and 110 compressions per minute and at a depth of between about 4.5 centimeters to about 6 centimeters. The system includes a pressure regulation system having a pressure-responsive valve that is configured to be coupled to a patient's airway. The pressure-responsive valve is configured to remain closed during successive chest compressions in order to permit removal at least about 200 ml from the lungs in order to lower intracranial pressure to improve survival with favorable neurological function. The pressure-responsive valve is configured to remain closed until the negative pressure within the patient's airway reaches about −7 cm H.sub.2O, at which time the pressure-responsive valve is configured to open to provide respiratory gases to flow to the lungs through the pressure-responsive valve.

An example of a CPR data recording system includes a hand-held chest compression measurement device and an external computing device communicatively coupled to the hand-held chest compression measurement device. The hand-held chest compression measurement device includes a housing, a motion sensor, a communication device, a memory disposed within the housing, and a processor disposed within the housing. The processor is configured to process a signal output from the motion sensor, calculate chest compression data from the processed signal output, evaluate the chest compression data after a delay from a start of the chest compressions to identify chest compressions that satisfy a pre-determined quality criterion, record the chest compression data in the memory, and send the recorded chest compression data to the external computing device via the communication device. The external computing device is configured to enable a review of the chest compression data.

A defibrillator for guiding a rescuer based on a probability of defibrillation success includes at least one output device and a processor and associated memory, the processor being configured to receive at least two ECG signals over time for a cardiac arrest victim, the at least two ECG signals including at least a first ECG signal at a first point in time and a second ECG signal at a second point in time, process the at least two ECG signals to determine at least two parameters related to the at least two ECG signals, the at least two parameters forming a sequence of parameter sets, analyze a trajectory of the sequence of parameter sets, determine the probability of defibrillation success based on the analysis of the trajectory, and control the at least one output device to provide one or more caregiver prompts based on the probability of defibrillation success.

Described is a self-massage device including a massage board with multiple connected indentations formed along the length of the massage board. The self-massage device also includes one or more massage heads having a top portion formed to contact a portion of a user's body, and a bottom portion having a protrusion formed to be removably inserted into one or more of the connected indentations in the massage board via a pressure mechanism.
