1-19. (canceled)
A system for delivering energy to a body tissue, the system comprising:
- a surface mounted device having a three dimensional external mounting system positionable on a body surface, wherein the external mounting system is configured to conform to the body surface;
- multiple energy delivering devices configured to deliver energy to a body surface and positioned throughout the surface mounted device;
- at least one sensor positioned within the surface mounted device;
- and
- a controller communicatively coupled to the surface mounted device,
- wherein the sensor is configured to send a signal to the controller, and the controller is configured to control the energy delivering devices based on the signal from the sensor, and
- wherein the three dimensional mounting system is configured to stabilize the energy delivering devices for a period of time while the energy delivering devices deliver energy to increase the rate of blood flow in a body tissue at the body surface.

A system for delivering energy to a body tissue, the system comprising:
- a surface mounted device having a three dimensional external mounting system positionable on and configured to circumferentially conform to a head of a user;
- multiple energy delivering devices positioned in the surface mounted device, configured to deliver electrical energy, and configured to contact specific portions of the head of the user;
- at least one sensor positioned within the surface mounted device configured to sense at least one body parameter of the user;
- and
- a control unit communicatively coupled to the surface mounted device and configured to control the energy delivering devices,
- wherein the energy delivering devices are configured to provide electrical stimulation to the specific portions of the head of the user in contact with the emitters.
