A vibration module for applying vibrational tractions to a wearer's skin is presented. Use of the vibration module in headphones is illustrated for providing tactile sensations of low frequency for music, for massage, and for electrical recording and stimulation of the wearer. Damped, planar, electromagnetically-actuated vibration modules of the moving magnet type are presented in theory and reduced to practice, and shown to provide a substantially uniform frequency response over the range 40-200 Hz with a minimum of unwanted audio.

A device and method are provided for treating a patient with vibration and/or tactile and/or thermal stimuli. The device includes first and second stimulating units for generating first and second stimuli respectively. The stimuli are vibration and/or tactile and/or thermal stimuli, and each of the stimuli is repeated on average at a frequency of 1 to 60 Hz. The stimuli are generated partly at different times.

A computer-implemented system/method for entertaining a person includes providing a head mounted display to play one or more erotic contents; sensing one or more body parameters including head position, eye gaze, or hand gesture and modifying an erotic content based thereon; and rendering modified erotic video on the head mounted display.

Garment systems 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. Methods of using such garment systems are also described.

A probe device provides an enhanced bioelectric and spring-loaded sensing tip with an integrated force sensor. The probe device measures the bioelectric conductance value from a patient for therapeutic and/or diagnostic purpose using the spring-loaded sensing tip. In addition, the probe device measures the force applied by the spring-loaded sensing tip against the patient using the integrated force sensor. Using feedback from the force sensor and the bioconductive data of the patient, the force applied at the spring-loaded sensing tip may be adjusted to obtain improved results.

The present invention relates to a three-dimensional negative pressure stimulator module capable of performing customized composite stimulation for the improvement of skin functions that applies three-dimensional negative pressure stimulation as well as composite stimulation such as electric current stimulation, light stimulation, and thermal stimulation, which is helpful in improving functions of the skin, to skin compositively, and further has a function of sensing a skin state, thereby performing customized composite stimulation. The three-dimensional composite stimulator module includes: a negative pressure cup; and at least one diaphragm provided along the transmission path of the negative pressure of the negative pressure cup, wherein at least any one of negative pressure stimulation, light stimulation, thermal stimulation, and electrical stimulation is transmitted compositively to the skin or subcutaneous tissues.

A medical device is disclosed. The device may include a service component for use in detecting patient data, at least one processor coupled with the service component, a care protocol module executable by the at least one processor to provide healthcare to a patient at least in part by generating a request for processing by the service component, and a resource module executable by the at least one processor to manage access to the service component by identifying a level of service associated with the care protocol module and responding to the request by managing the service component to meet the level of service. The care protocol module implements a patient care protocol that includes a sequence of actions directed to the patient. The level of service indicates a level of performance that the patient care protocol requires of the resource module. Selective offloading of modular functions is also enabled.

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.
