Abstract
Devices and methods are described that generate personalized therapy protocols for home use of therapeutic medical devices. The devices include an intuitive user interface to guide user to select proper settings, a personalized therapy protocol-generating approach according to user selection and personal profile, and follow-up therapy protocol adjustments to achieve optimized results based on feedbacks collected from past treatments.
Claims10
A therapeutic system, comprising a signal generator for generating an electric or photo signal suitable for conducting a therapy, a graphic electronic display, one or more electrodes for applying the therapy and/or measuring a biological feedback, a processor and program code which, when executed by the processor, configures the system to:
- (a) retrieve a therapy profile for a user by:
- receiving a user input comprising a body position of the user and a symptom or desired therapy at the position;
- querying a therapy protocol store with the user input, which therapy protocol store comprises a plurality of body positions and symptoms or desired therapies at each position, and, for each pair of body position and symptom or desired therapy at the position, one or more therapy protocols, wherein each therapy protocol comprises a therapy type, a therapy duration, and a therapy strength;
- and
- retrieving a therapy protocol from the therapy protocol store matching the symptom or desired therapy at the position in the input,
- (b) adjust a therapy protocol applied to a user by:
- receiving a biological feedback from the user undergoing an electric or photo therapy using the therapy protocol;
- determining whether the therapy protocol needs adjustment using a set of adjustment rules, which determination takes the biological feedback as input;
- and
- outputting an adjusted protocol based on the determination, and
- (c) provide graphic instruction to apply the therapy protocol retrieved from (a) and/or the adjusted therapy protocol determined from (b) by displaying an image and text indicating suitable placement of the therapeutic system according to the therapy protocol or adjusted therapy protocol.
