[0023] The present invention relates to a personalized neck rehabilitation and pain relief device that is capable of providing customized neck rehabilitation and pain relief solution for improving range of motion, reducing stiffness, and guiding users through a safe and optimized recovery journey.
[0024] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2, an isometric view of a personalized neck rehabilitation and pain relief device and an inner view of an enclosure installed with the proposed device are illustrated, respectively, comprising a rectangular plate 101, multiple suction units 102 are installed on a back portion of the plate 101, a seating chair 202 provided inside the enclosure 201, a touch interactive display panel 103 is provided on the plate 101, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 104 installed on the plate 101, a pair of curved-shaped panel 105 attached with the plate 101, each via a V-shaped members 106, a motorized two-axis sliding unit 107 provided between the plate 101 and members 106, a pair of primary motorized pivot joints 108 configured between the plate 101 and members 106 and a pair of secondary motorized pivot joints 109 integrated with the members 106, multiple pneumatic pins 110 are integrated on inner portion of the panels 105, plurality of silicon pouches 111 integrated with a Peltier unit 112 attached to the panels, an electronic valve 113 attached with a vessel 114 configured at one of the panel 105, an IR (Infrared) thermal imaging camera 115 attached with inner section of the panel 105, a holographic projector 116 is mounted on the plate 101, a microphone 117 is embedded with the plate 101.
[0025] The device disclosed herein, comprises of a rectangular plate 101, specifically designed to be positioned on a fixed surface within an enclosure 201. The enclosure 201 provides a stable and secure environment for the device to operate effectively. The rectangular plate 101 features multiple suction units 102 installed on its back portion to create a vacuum seal when activated, ensuring that the plate 101 is firmly affixed to the surface. This secure attachment prevents any movement or shifting of the plate 101 during use, providing a stable platform for the device's operations.
[0026] The suction units 102 are actuated by an inbuilt microcontroller, which controls and coordinates the device's functions. The microcontroller receives input signals of activation of the device provided by a user through a microphone 117 installed on the plate 101 and responds by activating the suction units 102, creating a secure bond between the plate 101 and the surface, which ensures that the device operates safely and effectively, providing optimal support and rehabilitation for the user's neck.
[0027] The microphone 117 plays a crucial role by converting spoken words or commands into electrical signals which are then processed and analyzed to trigger specific actions. When the user speaks or commands for activation of the device, their vocal cords vibrate, creating sound waves. These sound waves travel through the air as variations in air pressure. The microphone 117 mentioned herein is a transducer that converts these variations in air into electric signals. The analog electrical signal is converted into digital form which is done by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The digital signal is then subjected to various signal processing techniques to enhance voice quality and eliminate noise.
[0028] A seating chair 202 positioned inside the enclosure 201, allows user to access it easily and attain a comfortable seating posture. The chair 202 is designed to provide optimal support and stability for the user during the neck exercise session, wherein a touch interactive display panel 103 is located on the rectangular plate 101, enabling users to provide input commands regarding the initiation of the neck exercise session. The display panel 103 serves as a user-friendly interface, which allows the user to effortlessly navigate through various options suitable to their experience and specific needs.
[0029] The touch interactive display panel 103 as mentioned herein is typically an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen that presents output in a visible form. The screen is equipped with touch-sensitive technology, allowing the user to interact directly with the display using their fingers. A touch controller IC (Integrated Circuit) is responsible for processing the analog signals generated when the user inputs details regarding initiating neck exercise session. A touch controller is typically connected to the microcontroller through various interfaces which may include but are not limited to PI (Serial Peripheral Interface) or I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit).
[0030] Upon receiving the user's commands, the microcontroller activates an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 104 installed on the rectangular plate 101 to capture and process multiple images of the surroundings for accurately identifying the user's neck position and movement patterns. The artificial intelligence based imaging unit 104 is constructed with a camera lens and a processor, wherein the camera lens is adapted to capture a series of images of the surrounding present in proximity to the plate 101. The processor carries out a sequence of image processing operations including pre-processing, feature extraction, and classification by utilizing artificial intelligence and machine learning protocols.
[0031] The image captured by the imaging unit 104 is real-time images of the plate’s surrounding. The artificial intelligence based imaging unit 104 transmits the captured image signal in the form of digital bits to the microcontroller. The microcontroller upon receiving the image signals compares the received image signal with the pre-fed data stored in a database and constantly determines the user's movement and neck portion.
[0032] The device features a pair of curved-shaped panels 105 that are attached to the rectangular plate 101 via V-shaped members 106. These panels 105 provides optimal support and rehabilitation for the user's neck. Upon detecting the user's neck position using the artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 104, the microcontroller actuates a motorized two-axis sliding unit 107 positioned in between the rectangular plate 101 and the V-shaped members 106, enabling it to facilitate smooth and precise movement of the curved-shaped panels 105.
[0033] The motorized two-axis sliding unit 107 consists of two motorized linear actuators consisting of servo motors or servo motors that enables it to facilitate smooth and precise movement of the curved-shaped panels 105 in two perpendicular directions, typically referred to as the X and Y axes. The microcontroller coordinates and controls the movement of the motorized two-axis sliding unit 107 and ensures precise movement of the curved-shaped panels 105. The microcontroller actuates the motor drivers which converts the digital signal from the microcontroller into precise movements of the motors.
[0034] The motorized two-axis sliding unit 107 works in collaboration with a pair of primary motorized pivot joints 108 configured between the rectangular plate 101 and the V-shaped members 106. These primary pivot joints provide an additional degree of freedom, allowing the curved-shaped panels 105 to move in a more nuanced and natural way. Furthermore, a pair of secondary motorized pivot joints 109 are integrated with the V-shaped members 106 themselves. These secondary pivot joints enable the curved-shaped panels 105 to tilt and adjust their position in response to the user's neck movement. By working together, the primary and secondary pivot joints, along with the motorized two-axis sliding unit 107, facilitate a smooth and seamless movement of the curved-shaped panels 105.
[0035] As the curved-shaped panels 105 move, they are designed to push towards the user's neck portion and encircle their neck. This gentle yet firm encircling action provides optimal support and stability for the user's neck, allowing for effective rehabilitation and pain relief. The precise movement and adjustment of the curved-shaped panels 105 are made possible by the motorized mechanisms and pivot joints, all of which are carefully controlled by the microcontroller.
[0036] After encircling the user’s neck, the microcontroller activates an IR (Infrared) thermal imaging camera 115 attached to the inner section of the curved-shaped panels 105 to detect inflammatory changes or strains in the user's neck, providing valuable insights into the user's condition. The IR thermal imaging camera 115 uses infrared radiation to capture temperature variations in the user's neck. This information is then used to create a thermal map of the area, highlighting any regions of inflammation or strain.
[0037] In addition to the IR thermal imaging camera 115, the inner portion of the curved-shaped panels 105 features multiple pneumatic pins 110 that are dynamically actuated by the microcontroller, allowing them to mimic specific exercises that target the neck and surrounding muscles. The exercises include scapular squeeze, neck rotation, chin tuck, forehead press, side rotation, side bending, and ear-to-shoulder exercises. The pneumatic pins 110 are designed to provide a gentle yet firm pressure, simulating the sensation of a manual massage or physical therapy session. By mimicking these exercises, the device helps to improve the user's range of motion, reduce stiffness and pain, and strengthen the muscles in the neck and surrounding areas.
[0038] Plurality of silicon pouches 111 that are integrated with a Peltier unit 112 attached to the curved-shaped panels 105 to provide targeted heating therapy to the user's neck, offering effective pain relief and relaxation. The Peltier unit 112 is a thermoelectric that is capable of transferring heat from one side to the other. When actuated by the microcontroller, the Peltier unit 112 provides heating to the silicon pouches 111, which are designed to retain and distribute the heat evenly. The silicon pouches 111 are made of a soft, flexible material that conforms to the shape of the user's neck, ensuring optimal contact and heat transfer.
[0039] The microcontroller carefully controls the Peltier unit 112, adjusting the intensity of the heating therapy based on the user's neck condition. When inflammatory changes are detected by the thermal imaging camera 115, the microcontroller responds by activating the Peltier unit 112 and providing targeted heating to the affected area. This customized approach ensures that the user receives the most effective pain relief and rehabilitation, tailored to their specific needs.
[0040] An electronic valve 113 that is attached to a vessel 114 storing a pain-relieving liquid configured with one of the curved-shaped panels 105, allowing for precise and targeted dispensing of the liquid onto the user's neck portion. The electronic valve 113 is designed to be actuated by the microcontroller in response to inflammatory changes detected in the user's neck. When the thermal imaging camera 115 detects inflammation or strain, the microcontroller responds by sending a signal to the electronic valve 113, instructing it to dispense the pain-relieving liquid.
[0041] The pain-relieving liquid is carefully selected to provide fast and effective relief from neck pain and inflammation. The liquid is stored in the vessel 114 and is dispensed through the electronic valve 113 in a controlled and precise manner. The microcontroller carefully regulates the amount and frequency of the liquid dispensing, ensuring that the user receives the optimal amount of pain relief. The targeted dispensing of the pain-relieving liquid onto the user's neck portion ensures that the affected area receives direct and effective treatment. This approach helps to reduce pain and inflammation, promoting faster healing and rehabilitation.
[0042] A pressure sensor is integrated with the pneumatic pins 110 to measure the pressure applied to the user's neck portion by the pins. The pressure sensor contains a piezoelectric material, which generates a voltage in response to mechanical stress. When a pressure is applied by the pins on the user's neck portion, it deforms the piezoelectric material. The pressure applied by the pins on the user's neck portion, creating a strain. This strain results in the generation of an electric charge across the material, producing a voltage signal proportional to the applied pressure. The generated voltage is typically very small so the signal is amplified to make it suitable for further processing. The microcontroller continuously monitors the data from the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor provides real-time feedback to the microcontroller, which uses this information to automatically adjust the movement pattern of the curved-shaped panels 105 and the actuation of the pneumatic pins 110.
[0043] For instance, if the pressure sensor detects that the pressure applied to the user's neck is exceeding a predetermined threshold, the microcontroller adjusts the movement pattern of the panels 105 and the actuation of the pins to reduce the pressure. Conversely, if the pressure sensor detects that the pressure is too low, the microcontroller adjusts the movement pattern and pin actuation to increase the pressure, thereby ensures that the device provides optimal treatment while minimizing the risk of injury or discomfort.
[0044] A holographic projector 116 is mounted on the rectangular plate 101 to project exercise visuals that guide the user in performing neck exercises. By providing a visual representation of the exercises, the holographic projector 116 enables the user to better understand and execute the movements, ensuring a more effective and engaging rehabilitation experience. The holographic projector 116 uses laser technique to create high-definition, three-dimensional images that appear to float in mid-air. These images take the form of animated avatars, virtual instructors, or even interactive games, all designed to educate and motivate the user as they perform their neck exercises. The exercise visuals projected by the holographic projector 116 are carefully designed to provide clear and concise instructions, ensuring that the user easily follow along and perform the exercises correctly.
[0045] A timer integrated with the microcontroller ensures that the user performs their neck exercises for a specified time period, by keeping a track on time, which is essential for effective rehabilitation. By continuously monitoring the exercise duration, the timer helps to guarantee that the user adheres to their treatment plan and achieves optimal results. Once the user initiates their neck rehabilitation session, the timer begins to count down, providing a clear and visual indication of the remaining exercise time. This helps to keep the user motivated and focused, ensuring that they complete their exercises as prescribed.
[0046] The above disclosed microphone 117 is designed to receive user commands and pain-level feedback through voice input, enabling the user to interact with the device in a convenient and hands-free manner. By using voice commands, the user initiate exercises, adjust settings, and provide feedback on their pain levels, all without having to physically interact with the device. The audio signals received by the microphone 117 are then transmitted to the microcontroller, which analyzes the feedback and creates a detailed report. This report includes information on the user's pain levels, exercise progress, and other relevant data, providing a comprehensive overview of the user's rehabilitation journey. The report is further sent to a computing unit accessed by the user, such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer. This enables the user to access their report at any time, track their progress, and receive personalized recommendations for their rehabilitation program.
[0047] A battery is associated with the device to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrode named as a cathode and an anode. The battery uses a chemical reaction of oxidation/reduction to do work on charge and produce a voltage between their anode and cathode and thus produces electrical energy that is used to do work in the device.
[0048] The present invention works best in following manner, where the process begins by detecting the user's movement and neck position using the artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 104 that captures and processes multiple images of the surroundings to determine the user's neck position and movement. Once the user's neck position is detected, the curved-shaped panels 105 adjusts to encircle the user's neck, providing the comfortable and secure fit. The user then initiates the neck exercise session using the touch-interactive display panel 103. The microcontroller receives the user's commands and activates the pneumatic pins 110 to mimic specific exercises, such as scapular squeeze, neck rotation, and chin tuck. The IR thermal imaging camera 115 to detect inflammatory changes or strains in the user's neck. Based on the user's feedback and the detected inflammatory changes, the device adjusts the exercise patterns and intensity. The Peltier unit 112 and silicon pouches 111 works in collaboration to provide heating therapy, and dispense pain-relieving liquid using the electronic valve 113. The pressure sensor integrated with the pneumatic pins 110 ensures that the plate 101 does not apply excessive pressure on the user's neck. Throughout the exercise session, the device continuously monitors the user's progress and adjusts the exercise patterns accordingly. The device also provides real-time guidance using holographic projections, and receives user feedback through voice input using the microphone 117. Once the exercise session is complete, the microcontroller generates the detailed report based on the user's feedback and progress, which is accessed by the user or the healthcare professional.
