Integrated bioelectric therapy system with practitioner-assisted conduction interface, electromagnetic conditioning, and sensor-based assessment

A method for bioelectric therapy comprising:

• acquiring baseline assessment data representing physiological parameters of a subject using an analyzer that measures at least one biophysical signal;
• exposing the subject to a pulsed electromagnetic field generated by an electromagnetic field module for a predetermined duration;
• configuring a practitioner-assisted conduction path by coupling at least one subject electrode pad to the subject and coupling at least one practitioner return pad to a practitioner support surface;
• verifying a contact condition indicating subject contact, practitioner contact, and practitioner hand contact with the subject prior to enabling stimulation;
• applying bioelectric stimulation by causing a practitioner to contact the practitioner return pad and contact the subject with the practitioner's hands such that a current-limited stimulation signal is delivered to targeted anatomical regions;
• acquiring post-stimulation assessment data representing physiological parameters of the subject using the analyzer;
• and
• generating a health assessment report based on the baseline assessment data and the post-stimulation assessment data.

An apparatus for bioelectric therapy comprising:

• a bioelectric stimulation circuit configured to output a current-limited stimulation signal;
• at least one subject electrode pad electrically coupled to a first output terminal of the bioelectric stimulation circuit;
• at least one practitioner return pad electrically coupled to a second output terminal of the bioelectric stimulation circuit;
• and
• contact detection circuitry configured to inhibit output of the current-limited stimulation signal unless at least (i) a subject contact at the subject electrode pad, (ii) a practitioner contact at the practitioner return pad, and (iii) a conductive condition indicative of practitioner hand contact with the subject are detected.
