A reconfigurable, foldable, and manually transportable infant radiant warmer. In a collapsed configuration, the warmer consumes a minimal amount of space and can be manually transported easily. In a deployed configuration, the warmer provides open access to an infant lying on a bed platform for receiving resuscitative therapy and warmth from a radiant heater disposed upon an adjacent mast. The reconfigurable infant radiant warmer includes mutually reconfigurable bed, mast, and suspension modules. The mast module and the suspension module may be selectively moved relative to the bed module to achieve the collapsed configuration.

A device for cooling locally, including a cooling member, a crystal having the capacity to cool via absorption of a near-infrared exciting light signal, an illuminating system intended to deliver an exciting light signal, the crystal having an elongate shape about a longitudinal axis between a near end and a far end and having a closed constant outside cross section and containing a central channel formed, from its far end, over at least some of its length, the cooling member including a rod embedded via a first end into the central channel of the crystal and including a protruding second end that forms a cooling finger.

Provided herein are systems, devices and methods for the treatment of fungus. In particular, provided herein are systems, devices and methods employing energy to nail and tissue structures to treat fungal infection.

Methods and therapeutic devices with noninvasive means for improving brain function and treating senile dementia including Alzheimer’s disease are described. The noninvasive means is selected from electrical stimulation, heat stimulation, IR (infrared) radiation or their combinations. In some embodiments, the method and device utilize electrical current passed through acupuncture sites on the human head to achieve desired therapeutical effects.

The invention relates to a device for cooling an organ locally, that includes an elongate stem including a far end intended to make contact with an organ to be cooled and comprising including a cooling element having a cold finger, a crystal that has a capacity to cool via excitation at a set excitation wavelength, said crystal being positioned adjacent to said cooling element, an optical guide that is able to convey a light signal at said excitation wavelength and that opens onto said crystal, and an illuminating system including at least one light source, which light source is arranged to emit said light signal.

A suction assembly is described. The suction assembly includes a therapy unit with a body that can apply a supplemental therapy to a skin surface. The suction assembly also includes a cup that can be removably connected to the therapy unit and that can interface with a skin surface to define a chamber within the cup. A pump of the therapy unit can reduce a pressure within the chamber to draw the skin surface into the chamber in a cupping therapy. In response to the skin surface being drawn into the chamber, the body can move in a longitudinal direction to maintain contact with the skin surface. A wall of the cup is translucent and the suction assembly is dimensioned to provide a user with a view into the chamber through the wall of the cup that is substantially unobstructed by the housing.

A bed for therapeutic and recreational applications, comprises a frame structure, a mattress provided on the frame structure of the bed, a plurality of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) configured to emit electromagnetic radiation, an infrared heater assembly provided within the frame structure, the infrared heater assembly including a plurality of flexible heating elements connected with a power source, a plurality of temperature sensors provided at a plurality of locations on the frame structure and the mattress in order to generate signals in correlation with temperature values at the plurality of locations. Further, the frame structure includes a plurality of frame segments adapted to rotate to respective predetermined angles. Also, the mattress is made from at least partially transparent material and includes a fluid that is at least partially transparent.

A warming device including a heat generating element that contains a powder of an oxidizable metal, a powder of a carbon material, water, and a powder of a porous material other than the oxidizable metal and the carbon material. The heat generating element is a sheet material, and in the heat generating element, a ratio of the mass content of the water to the mass content of the powder of the oxidizable metal multiplied by one hundred [100 × (water / powder of oxidizable metal)] is from 30 to 270.

A mobile newborn care bed is configured to be positioned at a delivery location of an infant includes a bassinet containing a mattress for receiving the infant and a frame that supports the bassinet. At least two capacitive sensors are incorporated in the mattress that record cardiac signals, and an on-bed computing system is configured to receive the cardiac signals and determine a heart rate for the infant. A battery supported by the frame powers the on-bed computing system, and a digital display is communicatively connected to the on-bed computing system and displays the heart rate.

A plurality of methods and apparatus for managing deficiencies of the meibomian gland lipid production and delivery, including wearable fabrics configured with a matrix of micro- and nano-electromechanical materials, or composite fibres of yarn that are substantially made from carbon nanotubes, graphene, spider silk, natural silk, denim, cotton, metals, or combination thereof. Other methods and apparatus include infrared and ultrasound energy sources within a kit aimed at personalised therapies for improving overall health of the eyelids, while providing for adjunctive relief for associated dry eye symptoms. The management kit may comprise a wearable fabric or spectacle frame configured with infrared emitters and sensors, a handheld imaging device and software containing dosage and administration information coupled with information on improving eyelid hygiene which is reviewed and periodically updated using user-specific information.
