Abstract
A system for controlling blood pressure includes a wearable interface having an internal contact surface, the wearable interface configured to at least partially encircle a first portion of a first limb of a subject, a sensing module carried by the wearable interface and configured to determine at least a change in blood pressure of the first limb of the subject, and an energy application module carried by the wearable interface and configured to apply energy of two or more types to the first limb of the subject.
Claims34
A system comprising:
- a wearable interface having an internal contact surface, the wearable interface configured to at least partially encircle a first portion of a first limb of a subject;
- and
- an energy applicator carried by the wearable interface and configured to apply energy of two or more types to the first limb of the subject, wherein the energy applicator comprises a flex circuit comprising a plurality of sites for applying the energy of two or more types, the flex circuit configured to operate such that the plurality of sites applies a focused effect on a nerve of the first limb of the subject, wherein the flex circuit comprises a plurality of electrodes, and wherein the flex circuit further comprises a plurality of piezoelectrics embedded in a layer below the level of the plurality of electrodes.
A method for treating a patient, the method comprising:
- providing a system comprising:
- a wearable interface having an internal contact surface, the wearable interface configured to at least partially encircle a first portion of a first limb of a subject;
- and
- an energy applicator carried by the wearable interface and configured to apply energy of two or more types to the first limb of the subject, wherein the energy applicator comprises a flex circuit comprising a plurality of sites for applying the energy of two or more types, the flex circuit configured to operate such that the plurality of sites applies a focused effect on a nerve of the first limb of the subject, wherein the flex circuit comprises a plurality of electrodes, and wherein the flex circuit further comprises a plurality of piezoelectrics embedded in a layer below the level of the plurality of electrodes;
- and
- placing the wearable interface around the first portion of the first limb of the subject.
