A handheld device configured to provide tactile stimulation to a head of a human user. The handheld device comprises an outer housing sized and shaped to fit ergonomically and substantially within a hand of the human user. The outer housing defines an internal space and skin facing surface for placement adjacent to or proximate the user's head. A controller is contained within internal space of the outer housing, wherein the controller is configured to generate a signal corresponding to a pattern sequence. A vibration unit is in electronic communication with the controller, the vibration unit being configured to be actuated in response to a signal from the controller so as to generate vibrations that correspond to the pattern sequence.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a walking therapy station having multiple right linkages and multiple left linkages, where at least one of the right or left linkages is operably coupled to an actuator to transition the station from a standing mode to a walking mode. In an illustrative example, the station may have five right linkages and five left linkages, with a set of knee pads and foot pads. The station may include an actuator operably coupled to transition the station between walking and standing modes, for example. Various embodiments of the station may enable a user who is disabled or paralyzed to transition from sitting position, to a standing position, and then to a walking position, and provide the user with a very accurate gait and walking motion without putting excessive shear and pressure at the contact points between the station and the user.

A device for assisting a caregiver in delivering cardiac resuscitation to a patient, the device comprising a user interface configured to deliver prompts to a caregiver to assist the caregiver in delivering cardiac resuscitation to a patient; at least one sensor configured to detect the caregiver's progress in delivering the cardiac resuscitation, wherein the sensor is configured to provide a signal containing information indicative of ventilation; a memory in which a plurality of different prompts are stored, including at least one ventilation progress prompt to guide the rescuer's performance of ventilation; a processor configured to process the output of the sensor to determine a parameter descriptive of ventilation progress and to determine whether the ventilation progress prompt should be selected for delivery. Possible parameters descriptive of ventilation progress include ventilation rate, delivered tidal volume, and flow rate.

Provided are a method, system and a kit for improving a defined condition in a subject, the method including selecting a set of one or more correction zones, being surface zones on the surface of the subject's skin or defined angular zones in the subject's field of view, the one or more correction zones to thereby cause improvement in said condition. Further provided are methods and systems for providing such correction zones related to a defined condition in a subject or to a defined cause in a subject being associated with a defined condition.

A transport apparatus includes a base, a sling, and a support frame mounted to the base. The frame is configured to move from a first position relative to the base to a second position relative to the base. The frame includes a U-shaped frame with a lower cross-frame member and vertically oriented spaced side frame members joined with the cross-frame member. The side frame members support arm rests, and the cross-frame member optionally forms a footrest. In another aspect, the frame includes an access opening to allow a person egress and ingress to and from the sling through the frame.

Disclosed herein, inter alia, are a method, system and a kit for improving a defined condition in a subject, the method comprising selecting a set of one or more correction zones, being surface zones on the surface of the subject's skin or defined angular zones in the subject's field of view, the one or more correction zones being associated with the condition; and placing the one or more correcting elements in said one or more correction zones to thereby cause improvement in said condition. Also provided herein are methods and systems for providing such correction zones related to a defined condition in a subject or to a defined cause in a subject being associated with a defined condition.

Embodiments of a smart mobility aid device may have sensors to collect, monitor, analyze and represent data including but not limited to activity tracking, biometrics and safety and emergency features. The activity tracking include number of steps, miles, and activity speed, user pressure on a device, activity types and analysis. The user biometric data includes but is not limited to blood work, blood pressure, blood sugar, heart rate, oxygen level/rate, ECG, EMG, muscle strain, humidity, UV, body temperature. Additional features include an emergency button, fall detection, warnings, and user pattern analysis changes. The mobility aid device is connected to other smart electronic device and/or the Internet using but not limited to Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and or/and SIM card. The device gives the user or/and caregiver live feedback about user health metrics and status using a data representation method.

A gait training system has a motor connected to a first linkage system by an actuator. The first linkage system has multiple linkage members connected to multiple joints and an endpoint that is configured to produce a cyclic gait motion when the motor is activated. First and second linkage members have an adjustable length. A method of customizing a gait pattern on a gait training system is also described.

A manometer with a cadence indicator includes a housing and a gas pressure indicator interfaced to the housing. An input port of the housing is for connecting the manometer to a source of gas pressure, such that the gas pressure at the input port is reflected in the gas pressure indicator, providing a pressure reading. A cadence module is interfaced to the housing such that cadence is provided concurrently with the local of the gas pressure indicator in two cadence pulse frequencies, one for timing of chest compressions and one for timing of administration of breaths. Cadence is provided visually or audibly.

A resuscitation system for use in the resuscitation of a subject includes a computing device configured to input subject information and use the subject information to create a subject resuscitation strategy, a sensor configured to detect subject biosignals and use the subject biosignals to monitor for a subject cardiac arrest event, and a defibrillator configured to determine and deliver a subject resuscitation treatment. On determination of a subject cardiac arrest event, the sensor outputs sensor subject biosignals to the computing device. The computing device uses the sensor subject biosignals to adapt the subject resuscitation strategy and output the subject resuscitation strategy to the defibrillator. The defibrillator measures subject biodata and uses the subject biodata and the subject resuscitation strategy to determine and deliver a subject resuscitation treatment. During subject resuscitation treatment, the defibrillator repeatedly uses measured subject biodata and the subject resuscitation strategy to adapt the subject resuscitation treatment.
