A photothermal treatment device includes: irradiation means that irradiates a lesion tissue in a body cavity with heating light; a thermo-endoscope including endoscopic imaging means that images the inside of the body cavity and thermographic imaging means that images a surface temperature of a tissue in the body cavity as a thermal image; and control means (control personal computer (PC)) that controls an output and an irradiation time of the irradiation means based on temperature information of the thermal image obtained from the thermographic imaging means.

A virtual reality augmented massage therapy system and method is disclosed. Using this system taps into all of the key senses that people use to evaluate their surroundings, which in turn helps them to relax and feel comfortable. Simply stated, the more stimulus inputs a person's brain receives to determine its presence in an environment, the more immersed the person will become in the generated environment.

Disclosed is a vibration stimulation device. The vibration stimulation device includes a box having a cavity, vibrators disposed in the cavity; light emitting elements disposed between the vibrators or disposed on the vibrators, an upper vibration layer configured to connect the vibrators and the light emitting elements to edges of the box on the cavity, and bumps disposed on the vibrators.

Methods and devices for treating nasal airways are provided. Such devices and methods may improve airflow through an internal and/or external nasal valve, and comprise the use of mechanical re-shaping, energy application and other treatments to modify the shape, structure, and/or air flow characteristics of an internal nasal valve, an external nasal valve or other nasal airways.

A personal wearable headband having far infrared and temperature measurement functions includes a headband body defining a headband receiving space and having a plurality of far infrared particles blended in the headband body, a window communicating with the headband receiving space, and a through hole communicating with the headband receiving space and opposite to the window. A temperature measuring unit is disposed in the headband receiving space and includes a temperature measuring element configured to contact the forehead of a user for detecting a temperature thereof, and a display screen corresponding in position to the window and configured to display the temperature detected by the temperature measuring element.

It is an object of the invention to provide a garment and sleepwear that can improve the quality of sleep, and to provide a method for improving the quality of sleep by using such a garment or sleepwear, and this is achieved by a garment for improving the quality of sleep, the garment including a fiber containing at least two kinds of nanoparticles that emit far-infrared radiation and cause electron transfer based on plasmon resonance.

A light-emitting device (100) is disclosed. The light-emitting device (100) comprises a plurality of light-emitting elements (135) or light sources and a power module (120) adapted to selectively convey, supply or provide electrical power to the light-emitting elements (135). The power module (120) may be dimensioned such as to be able to power only a proper subset of the light-emitting elements (135) of the light-emitting device (100) at a given time, the subset having a maximum number of light-emitting elements (135) included therein with respect to the number of light-emitting elements (135) included in the all subsets of the light-emitting elements (135) of the light-emitting device (100). The plurality of sets of light-emitting elements (135) may be arranged so as to emit light over a light emission area, and the plurality of sets of light-emitting elements (135) may be arranged relatively to each other such that different sets of light-emitting elements (135) emit light over different portions of the light emission area.

A device for the drying of tooth or bone surfaces includes a radiation source for irradiating the tooth or bone surface to be dried, a temperature sensor and/or a humidity sensor.

Disclosed are methods and medical device systems for automated delivery of therapies for pain and determination of need for and safety of treatment. In one embodiment, such a medical device system may comprise a sensor configured to sense at least one body signal from a patient; and a medical device configured to receive a first sensed body signal from the sensor; determine a patient pain index based at least in part on said first sensed body signal; determine whether said patient pain index is above at least a first pain index threshold; determine a safety index based at least in part on a second sensed body signal; select a pain treatment regimen based on at least one of said safety index and or a determination that said pain index is above said first pain index threshold; and deliver said pain treatment regimen.

A system employing projected light upon objects or surfaces to determine a safe light wave length range of light to be emitted for treatment of the object or surface is provided. Light emitters are employed for projecting light waves upon the surfaces along with light reception components which are employed to receive reflected light wave ranges from such emitted light. Thereafter, a safe light wave range can be employed to treat or affect the object or surface.
