Methods, systems and devices for reducing anxiety, including increasing relaxation and/or calm. In some variations these methods may include reducing anxiety, increase relaxation and/or calm by non-invasive temperature regulation of the frontal cortex prior to and/or during sleep. The subject may have an anxiety disorder, or may not have a diagnosed anxiety disorder.

In order to maximize spatial utilization and to minimize the volume of a thermotherapy bed so that the thermotherapy bed can be easily stored or moved, the thermotherapy bed includes: a bed body having a thermotherapy device placed therein; side frames connected to both side surfaces of the bed body, respectively; and bed legs configured to support the bed body and connected to the side frames, respectively, wherein the thermotherapy device is placed in a center of the bed body and forms a protrusion on a bottom surface of the bed body, and the bed legs are folded to face an inside of the bed body and are accommodated in spaces formed at both sides of the thermotherapy device.

A walking assist device includes: a pair of right and left handles that are movable back and forth with respect to a frame in accordance with arm swing performed during walk of a user; rails on which the handles are provided and which limit movement of the handles in a movable range in accordance with arm swing performed during the walk of the user; a handle information acquisition unit that acquires information related to movement of the handles; and a control unit that controls a drive unit in accordance with the information from the handle information acquisition unit.

A telemedical interface pressure monitoring system is provided for intermittent or continuous monitoring of the pressure that occurs at the interface between the body and a support surface such as with a compression device, cast or resting surface. The system simultaneously measures interface pressure at multiple compression positions as well as provide real-time measurement data to both patients and clinicians. The system uses an array of one or more sensors and a data collection and transmission node with a microprocessor and transmitter/receiver that transmits the sensor data to a receiver such as a mobile device or cloud or clinic server for remote display, evaluation and automatic recording. Remote receivers can also control compression devices associated with the node.

In an embodiment, a compression garment can include one or more of a flex frame, a shape memory material, a backing, and a control module. In some variations, the flex frame can include a set of support regions, a set of cutout regions, a set of bridges, one or more terminals, and one or more rotation points. In some variations, the compression garment 100 can further include a fabric sleeve, one or more fasteners, a power module, and/or any other suitable component. The compression garment functions as a compression device (e.g., to improve circulation, enhance muscle recovery, etc.), and can additionally or alternatively function as a passive compression device, a heating and/or cooling device, or perform any other suitable functionality.

A vision-assist device may include at least one image sensor for generating image data corresponding to an environment, a user input device for receiving user input regarding one or more physical characteristics of a user, and a processor. The processor may be programmed to receive the image data from the at least one image sensor, receive the user input from the user input device, and adjust an alignment of the at least one image sensor based on the received image data and the user input. Methods for aligning an image sensor are also provided.

The invention is broadly directed to a skin care apparatus comprising: a camera; a light device for emitting at least one of a blue, a green, a yellow and a red light; a vibration pad; a heating element; a heat sensor; a skin moisture sensor; an iontophoresis module; and a control processor configured to: operate the camera and the skin moisture sensor to perform a skin quality assessment of a user's skin, and operate any one or more of: the light device, the vibration pad, the heating element, the heat sensor, and the iontophoresis module to provide a bespoke skin treatment for the user's skin based on the skin quality assessment.

A thermal device comprising a heatable and ventilatable thermal cabin (2) for at least one person is equipped with adjustable heating means (4) and with adjustable ventilation means (6) and, optionally, with a temperate sensor (8). Furthermore, detection means (10) are available for the continuous detection of the presence of persons situated in the thermal cabin, wherein said detection means interact with a heating control device (12) for the heating means (4). Due to the fact that a base heating power can be set when no one is present and that a comparatively higher operational heating power can be set when someone is present, the energy requirement when operating the thermal facility can be reduced considerably.

A vision-assist device may include at least one image sensor for generating image data corresponding to an environment, a user input device for receiving user input regarding one or more physical characteristics of a user, and a processor. The processor may be programmed to receive the image data from the at least one image sensor, receive the user input from the user input device, and adjust an alignment of the at least one image sensor based on the received image data and the user input. Methods for aligning an image sensor are also provided.

A multifunctional device for the treatment of a patient's hair and skin including a box-shaped body 2 in which a tank 4 for the production of steam V is inserted. The multifunctional device further includes a heater 5, inside the tank 4 for heating a volume of water W contained in the tank 4, and a dispenser 6 for dispensing, through a first conduit 7, steam V from an outlet mouth 8. The device also includes a supply conduit 9, with a second end 9b in fluid communication with a water supply source, and a filter 10 intercepting the supply conduit 9, for treating the incoming water, transforming it into demineralized water.
