Flexible vest including a positionable oscillating motor array

A system, comprising:

• an inner wearable harness worn, during use, on a torso of a subject, wherein the inner wearable harness is a flexible vest comprising an opening for a head of the subject, and openings for arms of the subject;
• at least one engine which when activated apply an oscillation force to at least one treatment area of the subject, wherein the at least one engine is releasably couplable to the inner wearable harness such that the at least one engine is selectively positionable relative to the subject using a positioning system, wherein the positioning system allows positioning the at least one engine such that the oscillation force is applied to at least one of the treatment areas of the subject, wherein the oscillation force mobilizes, during use, at least some secretions in an airway within the subject at least adjacent the treatment area, and wherein the at least one engine is positioned after the vest has been positioned on the subject on different areas of the inner wearable harness to allow selective placement of engines on and/or adjacent areas of the subject's chest;
• and
• an outer wearable harness worn, during use, on a torso of a subject, wherein the outer wearable harness, when activated, provides a compressive force to adjust the oscillation force applied by at least some of the at least one engine to the treatment area, and wherein the outer wearable harness is flexible and elastic.

A kit for clearing a biological airway, comprising:

• a flexible vest worn, during use, on a torso of a subject, wherein the flexible vest comprises an opening for a head of the subject, and openings for arms of the subject;
• a plurality of engines which when activated apply an oscillation force to at least one treatment area of the subject, wherein at least one of the plurality of engines is releasably couplable to the flexible vest such that the at least one of the plurality of engines is selectively positionable relative to the subject, and wherein the oscillation force mobilizes, during use, at least some secretions in an airway within the subject at least adjacent the treatment area;
• a second elastic flexible layer outside of the flexible vest and compressible onto the first layer and the plurality of engines to compress the plurality of engines against the subject's chest at least adjacent the treatment area that need airway secretion mobilization;
• and
• a controller that is coupled to the plurality of engines that allows the subject to activate and/or adjust an output of the plurality of engines.
