Electro-magnetic induction device and method of activating a target tissue

A process of manufacturing an electro-magnetic induction device for activating a diaphragm in a human or animal body via its muscular or neural system when being ventilated by a ventilation machine, comprising:

• assembling to the electro-magnetic induction device
• an electro-magnetic field generator with coil design configured to generate a spatial electro-magnetic field having a targeted shape allowing for specifically stimulating one or both Phrenic nerves of the neural system of the human or animal body while lowering or preventing stimulation of other nerves or tissue neighboring, surrounding or overlapping a Phrenic nerve of the one or both Phrenic nerves,
• a mounting arrangement configured to hold the coil design at a neck of the human or animal body such that one or both Phrenic nerves of the neural system of the human or animal body can be reached by the electro-magnetic field generated by the coil design of the electro-magnetic field generator,
• a sensor member configured to detect an activation of the diaphragm of the human or animal body, wherein the sensor member comprises a flow sensor having an adaptor connectable to a respiratory system of the human or animal body,
• a controller in communication with the flow sensor,
• an electro-magnetic field adjustment mechanism configured to adjust a position of the electro-magnetic field generated by the coil design, and
• a calibration unit in communication with the sensor member and with the electro-magnetic field adjustment mechanism;
• and
• configuring the calibration unit,
• to control the electro-magnetic field adjustment mechanism to vary the position of the electro-magnetic field generated by the coil design,
• to receive an activation feedback signal from the sensor member upon detection of the activation of the diaphragm of the human or animal body, and
• to control the electro-magnetic field adjustment mechanism to stop variation of the position of the electro-magnetic field generated by the coil design when the activation feedback is received;
• and
• configuring the controller to regulate the activation of the diaphragm in coordination with a breathing scheme such that activation of the diaphragm via the one or both Phrenic nerves is coordinated with the ventilation of the human or animal body.
