Abstract
A noninvasive ergonomic self-use device including a plurality of electrodes and a processor in electrical communication with the electrodes, the processor is configured to switch two or more of the electrodes between at least an ECG mode of operation in which the electrodes receive user body signals and an EPG mode in which the electrodes generate electrical pulses for stimulating the abdominal muscles of the user.
Claims19
A non-invasive treatment device, comprising:
- a plurality of electrodes, and
- a processor, electrically connected to said electrodes,
- wherein, said processor is configured for switching at least two of said electrodes between an ECG mode of operation in which said electrodes receive subject body signals, and an EPG mode, in which said electrodes generate electrical pulses for stimulating the abdominal muscles.
A non-invasive treatment device, comprising:
- An ECG sensor, said ECG sensor comprises a plurality of electrodes configured to be position in an abdomen area of a subject, wherein said electrodes are configured for monitoring ECG signals of said subject and for applying stimulation on muscles of said abdomen area;
- a Piezoelectric sensor configured to generate a second signals in accordance with variations in the girth and position of said abdomen area;
- and
- a processor, electrically connected to said electrodes;
- wherein, said processor is configured for measuring a first variation of breathing cycle time of breathing of said subject detected from said ECG sensor and for measuring a second variation of breathing cycle time of breathing of said subject detected from said Piezoelectric sensor;
- for selecting a sensor associated with lowest variation from said first variation and form said second variation and for said applying said simulation according to inhalation phase detected by said selected sensor.
3 more elements
A device, comprising:
- a plurality of electrodes configured to be position in an abdomen area of a user;
- a Piezoelectric sensor configured to generate a second signal in accordance with variations in the girth and position of said abdomen area;
- and
- a band wherein said band interconnecting said Piezoelectric sensor and at least one electrode base of said plurality of electrodes and is configured for transferring motion of said abdomen between said Piezoelectric sensor and said at least one electrode base during inhalation or during exhalation for monitoring inhalation of said user.
1 more element
A device, comprising:
- two TENS electrodes, wherein said electrodes are configured for being positioned in abdomen area of a user;
- a non grounded ECG amplifier in connectivity with said electrodes configured for amplifying ECG signal and
- a processor, electrically connected to said electrodes, wherein said processor is configured for receiving user body signals from said electrodes, for calculating ECG result from said signals and for transferring said ECG result to an application.
