Vibration-induced tremor relief apparatus

A smart strap, comprising:

• a flexible strap with an attaching structure on a first end of the flexible strap configured to attach to a second end of the flexible strap, opposite from the first end;
• a motion sensor attached to the flexible strap;
• a first plurality of 5 to 20 vibration actuators attached to the flexible strap;
• a first relay configured to control power to the first plurality of vibration actuators;
• a second plurality of 5 to 20 vibration actuators attached to the flexible strap;
• a second relay configured to control power to the second plurality of vibration actuators;
• a processor electrically coupled to the motion sensor and electrically coupled to the first relay and the second relay;
• a processor power source electrically coupled to the processor;
• and
• an actuator power source electrically coupled to the first plurality of vibration actuators through the first relay and electrically coupled to the second plurality of vibration actuators through the second relay, the actuator power source being configured to provide more power to the first plurality of vibration actuators than could be provided by the processor directly;
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• read a change in an acceleration of the motion sensor at a prescribed frequency while the flexible strap is around one of a patient's wrist or ankle;
• turn on the first relay when the acceleration of the motion sensor exceeds a threshold acceleration value of 1.6 g to 2.3 g for a threshold time period, causing the first plurality of vibration actuators to turn on for a first prescribed treatment time period;
• turn on the second relay when the acceleration of the motion sensor remains above the threshold acceleration value after the first relay is turned on, causing the second plurality of vibration actuators to turn on for a second prescribed treatment time period;
• and
• transmit an event record to a recording device, the event record including a date and time the acceleration of the motion sensor exceeded the threshold acceleration value for the threshold time period.
