Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for reducing stimulation interference between two stimulation modules positioned on a user's body, which may be used in stimulation systems without a central treatment controller. Systems and methods are also provided for stimulation treatment using multiple independent stimulators wirelessly managed by a remote management device.
Claims38
A method for reducing interference between at least two electrostimulation transducers, wherein a first transducer is applied at a first body site and a second transducer is applied at a second body site, comprising:
- monitoring the first body site during a first detection period;
- and
- during the first detection period,
- when a signal is detected indicative of a pulse generated by the second transducer, delaying for a first delay period before generating a first stimulation pulse using the first transducer.
A stimulation treatment system, comprising:
- at least one stimulation transducer device;
- and
- a first processor having communication circuitry configured to communicate with the at least one stimulation transducer device;
- the at least one stimulation transducer device having circuitry that generates and detects stimulation and is configured to:
- receive treatment information from the first processor,
- deliver a stimulation treatment to a user in accordance with the received treatment information,
- detect a signal indicative of stimulation treatment delivered to the user by the second stimulation transducer device, and
- in response to detecting the signal, delay the delivery of stimulation treatment.
