A treatment device for removing heat from subcutaneous lipid-rich cells of a subject having an actuator that provides mechanical energy to the tissue. The mechanical energy provided may include a vibratory component that can range between low and ultra-high frequencies, and such energy may include various combinations of two or more frequencies tailored to produce the desired effect on the subcutaneous tissue. Disruption of adipose tissue cooled by an external treatment device may be enhanced by applying mechanical energy to cooled tissue. Furthermore, such mechanical energy may impart a vibratory effect, a massage effect, a pulsatile effect, or combinations thereof on the tissue.

Systems and methods are provided for controlling infrared radiation (IR) sources of a sauna including tuning IR wavelength-ranges and radiated power-levels of IR sources, and directing IR to locations on a user's body. In one illustrative embodiment, a sauna may be provided having adjustable IR emitters to emit IR at any wavelength resulting in a desirable radiation treatment for the sauna user. In another illustrative embodiment, a method is provided for tuning IR emitters in a sauna.

An exercise motion tracking assembly, an exercise motion tracking system, and a method of electronically tracking exercise motion are disclosed. In one embodiment, the exercise motion tracking assembly can comprise a base unit comprising a plurality of trigger columns and a tracker comprising a plurality of column ports, a plurality of switching components, and a plurality of sensors. At least one of the plurality of sensors can be activated when the tracker is detachably coupled to the base unit, causing at least one of the plurality of trigger columns to extend through at least one of the plurality of column ports and actuate at least one of the plurality of switching components.

An apparatus of self-adjustment belt with bumps is used during physical exercise, stretching, or just worn around a user's body to provide support, resistance, create compression, and offer a self-guided automatic adjustment. The apparatus provides constant conscious body awareness and can help enhance balance reactions and re-educate muscles. The bumps of the apparatus help relieve muscle tension by applying pressure and gentle massage to chiropractic trigger points of the user's body. The apparatus is equipped with sensors providing health data and monitoring activity or any health changes. Additionally, the apparatus provides heating and/or cooling to desired areas of the user's body. Further, the vibrators inside the bumps of the apparatus offer a better massage through vibration, which can also be light tapping, or electric stimulation, to relieve muscle tension and strain, tone muscles, and stimulate the circulatory system of the user.

A personal therapy device, directed generally to an elongated sexual stimulation device for female use having advanced shape motion control and shape transformation. In one embodiment, the device has a flexible outer body elongated in a longitudinal direction and a shape memory alloy (SMA) thrust actuator disposed within the flexible outer body. In another embodiment, the device includes one or more skeletal segments which are disposed within the flexible outer body and capable of deformation in various directions. In yet another embodiment, the device includes one or more rotational servo motor pair units, where each rotational servo motor of the rotational servo motor pair has an eccentric weight, and the synchronized rotation of the eccentric weight pair generates a net lateral wobbling motion. In yet another embodiment, the device includes an external positioning sensor unit, an inertial measurement unit, one or more pressure sensors, or a combination thereof.

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 devices 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.

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a garment system including a flexible compression garment, at least one sensor, and at least one therapeutic stimulation delivery device operable responsive to sensing feedback from the at least one sensor, effective to provide therapeutic radiation to a body part of a subject. Embodiments disclosed herein also relate to methods of using such garment systems.

A wearable massage and/or compression device for applying controllable scrolling or intermittent sequential forces, such as compression forces, to the body and limbs of a user comprises an elongated fabric body sized to encircle a limb of a user, one or more shape-memory wires carried by the fabric body and configured to apply a compression pressure to the limb through the fabric body upon changing shape in response to a stimulus, and a micro-processor based controller for selectively actuating the one or more shape-changing elements to reduce the effective diameter of the device encircling the limb, to thereby apply pressure to the limb.

A blood flow stimulating device comprising: a boot (101) including a sole (111) and an upper; a sock (11) disposed within the boot (101); and a bladder (19) disposed within or on the sock (11), wherein the bladder (19) is configured to undergo repeated inflation and deflation so as to stimulate blood flow in a wearer of the blood flow stimulating device, wherein the sock (11) further includes a toe region (1002), a heel region (1001) and a raised portion (1003) between the toe region (1002) and the heel region that (1001), in use, reduces the distance between the sock (11) and a foot of a wearer of the blood flow stimulating device at the raised portion of the sock.
