Abstract
An anatomical manipulation device having a plurality of actuators configured around an anatomical interface. The device includes a controller, an interactive communication interface and at least one feedback sensor to measure physiological responses. The interactive communication interface receives input from the user. The controller coordinates the operation of the actuators based on the measurements received from the feedback sensor and input from the interactive communication interface. Each actuator includes one or more of: a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) probe, an electrical muscle stimulator, a low-frequency pulse generator, a sound wave generator and a micro-vibrator.
Claims17
An anatomical manipulation device comprising:
- a plurality of actuators configured to be positioned around an anatomical interface of a neck;
- at least one feedback sensor to measure one or more physiological responses related to a cerebrospinal fluid flow;
- an interactive communication interface to receive input from a user;
- a controller to coordinate operation of said plurality of actuators based on measurements received from said at least one feedback sensor and said input from the interactive communication interface to enhance a cerebrospinal fluid circulation and a cerebrospinal fluid drainage
- a thermal pad configured to enhance the cerebrospinal fluid flow by stimulating blood and cerebrospinal fluid along a lymphatic vessel and a lymph node to prevent accumulation of beta amyloid and tau proteins in user's brain and body;
- and
- a piezoelectric transducer, enclosed within the thermal pad, to reduce noise coupling, enhance resolution and enable gel-free acoustic coupling to enhance the cerebrospinal fluid flow;
- and
- wherein the piezoelectric transducer transmits bounced-back feedback waves to the controller for monitoring cerebrospinal fluid flow patterns.
