Abstract
Body wearable treatment apparatus for treatment of neurological disorders and conditions of the central nervous system by application of electromagnetic fields thereto, the apparatus including a coil mounting portion and a body mounting portion, the coil mounting portion being removably mounted on the body mounting portion and a system including at least one database storing information relating to treatment protocols, a server communicating with the at least one database and body wearable treatment apparatus communicating with the server, the body wearable treatment apparatus including a coil mounting portion and a body mounting portion, the coil mounting portion being removably mounted on the body mounting portion.
Core Innovation
The invention provides a body wearable treatment apparatus for treatment of neurological disorders and conditions of a central nervous system by application of electromagnetic fields thereto. The apparatus includes a coil mounting portion comprising a head surrounding portion positionable with respect to a head of a patient and extending to a back portion positionable with respect to a back of the patient, and an electromagnetic field generating coil extending from the head surrounding portion down along a length of the back portion.
The coil mounting portion is removably mounted on a body mounting portion, which supports the removably mounted coil mounting portion. The configuration includes selectable vertical positioning of the coil mounting portion relative to the body mounting portion via a channel for a flexible band, and holding by a shoulder strap in relation to the back portion.
The system further includes electronic control and remote protocol delivery. An electronic control unit communicates with an external server to download patient-specific treatment protocols at given times, generates a waveform or current to drive the electromagnetic field generating coil according to the downloaded protocols, and provides feedback confirming treatment progress.
The system can also include sensors to sense real-time sensed patient parameters, with sensors mounted on removably wearable substrates. Examples of removably wearable substrates include a helmet and/or a glove, and the system supports app-based patient/provider interaction and remote participation with validation/upgrade functions and data feedback to the server.
Claims Coverage
Two independent claims are identified. Both center on applying electromagnetic fields for neurological disorders and conditions of a central nervous system using a removable coil mounting portion, and one further adds a database/server protocol architecture.
Removably mounted head-to-back coil mounting portion
A body wearable treatment apparatus for treatment of neurological disorders and conditions of a central nervous system by application of electromagnetic fields thereto, comprising a coil mounting portion with a head surrounding portion positionable with respect to a head of a patient and extending to a back portion positionable with respect to a back of the patient, and an electromagnetic field generating coil extending from the head surrounding portion down along a length of the back portion, the coil mounting portion being removably mounted on a body mounting portion.
Database/server treatment protocol system with communicating body wearable apparatus
A system for treatment of neurological disorders and conditions of a central nervous system by application of electromagnetic fields thereto, comprising at least one database storing information relating to treatment protocols, a server communicating with the database, and a body wearable treatment apparatus communicating with the server and including the removable coil mounting portion and body mounting portion.
The claim coverage requires a body wearable apparatus or system that applies electromagnetic fields to treat neurological disorders and central nervous system conditions using a coil mounting portion with a head surrounding portion and a coil extending to a back portion, removably mounted on a body mounting portion. One independent claim further requires a database/server architecture storing treatment protocols and communicating with the body wearable treatment apparatus.
