Abstract
A wearable back pad used to deliver targeted topical pain relief. The wearable vest or wrap product enables a person to apply topical pain-relievers right where it is needed in cases of unilateral neck or back pain or to the upper back area that is not reachable by the person's own hands. The back pad will act as a vehicle to hold and deliver the pain-relievers in the form of consumable patch or a pocket-insert that is placed by the users themselves in the specified area with the goal of maintaining the person's independence and decreasing the need for helping hands. Back pad consumables can hold and deliver anti-itch and skin care preparations to the back hence expanding this product's indication for use.
