Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a wearable device for lymphatic therapy that provides an automated and targeted therapeutic experience for users, which enables personalized therapy by adjusting compression, vibration, and temperature based on real-time physiological feedback, ensuring optimal lymphatic stimulation, thereby enhancing convenience and effectiveness.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Lymphatic disorders, such as lymphedema, venous insufficiency, and post-surgical swelling, require consistent and targeted therapy to manage symptoms and prevent complications. Patients suffering from these conditions often rely on manual lymphatic drainage therapy, compression garments, or pneumatic devices. However, these traditional methods lack real-time adaptability and personalized treatment, leading to suboptimal therapeutic outcomes. Additionally, manual therapy requires trained professionals, which may not always be accessible to users, especially in remote or rural areas.

[0003] Many existing lymphatic therapy solutions rely on static compression garments or intermittent pneumatic compression devices that operate in predefined cycles without considering real-time physiological responses. Since these methods do not dynamically adjust based on the user’s condition, they may either apply excessive pressure, causing discomfort, or insufficient pressure, reducing the therapy’s effectiveness. Moreover, these conventional approaches fail to integrate multi-modal therapy techniques such as vibration, thermal regulation, and controlled application of therapeutic substances, which are crucial for improving lymphatic flow and reducing swelling.

[0004] Additionally, users undergoing lymphatic therapy often experience difficulties in monitoring the effectiveness of the treatment in real time. Lack of integration with digital health platforms prevents users and healthcare professionals from tracking progress and making necessary therapy adjustments. Furthermore, many wearable therapy devices require manual adjustments and do not provide automated feedback-driven therapy, making them less efficient and inconvenient for users seeking hassle-free lymphatic care.

[0005] EP0503027A1 discloses apparatus for lymphatic drainage comprises a body of substantially hollow cylindrical shape and a suction bulb, the body comprising a constriction serving on the one hand as an interior anchoring zone for the bulb suction and on the other hand a groove allowing the appliance to be gripped between two fingers, the lower edge of the body being rounded so as to provide a surface capable of gliding without damaging the skin.

[0006] US20170197066A1 disclosed subject matter relates to methods and devices for decompressing the lymphatic system. In particular, the present disclosure provides devices for actively or passively decompressing the lymphatic system and methods of their use and deployment within a subject. In certain non-limiting embodiments, a device of the present disclosure can include a pump for actively transferring lymph fluid from the lymphatic fluid into the venous system.

[0007] Conventionally, there exists many devices that are capable of providing solutions for lymphatic therapy, however these existing devices do not offer an approach that combines real-time pressure monitoring, compression control, stimulation, and automated therapeutic substance application. These limitations result in prolonged therapy durations, increased discomfort, and inconsistent results, making it difficult for users to manage their condition effectively.

[0008] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a device that provides automated, adaptive, and personalized lymphatic therapy. Such a device should provide real-time monitoring, dynamically adjust therapy parameters based on physiological feedback, and ensure precise application of therapeutic substances, thereby significantly improving treatment outcomes, enhancing user convenience, and providing a more effective approach to managing lymphatic disorders.

[0011] Another object of the present invention is to develop a device that is capable of ensuring that pressure and stimulation are applied only where needed, preventing unnecessary discomfort while maximizing therapeutic benefits and this targeted approach enhances treatment effectiveness and promotes efficient relief.

[0012] Another object of the present invention is to develop a device that is capable of adjust intensity and distribution dynamically by continuously measuring applied force to ensures that therapy is delivered within a safe and effective range, adapting to the user’s needs in real-time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0023] The following description includes the preferred best mode of one embodiment of the present invention. It will be clear from this description of the invention that the invention is not limited to these illustrated embodiments but that the invention also includes a variety of modifications and embodiments thereto. Therefore, the present description should be seen as illustrative and not limiting. While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative constructions, it should be understood, that there is no intention to limit the invention to the specific form disclosed, but, on the contrary, the invention is to cover all modifications, alternative constructions, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the claims.

[0024] In any embodiment described herein, the open-ended terms "comprising," "comprises,” and the like (which are synonymous with "including," "having” and "characterized by") may be replaced by the respective partially closed phrases "consisting essentially of," consists essentially of," and the like or the respective closed phrases "consisting of," "consists of, the like.

[0025] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0026] The present invention relates to a wearable device for lymphatic therapy that provides customized treatment by dynamically adjusting therapy parameters in real-time. In addition, the proposed device continuously assesses pressure, temperature variations, and user activity to optimize compression sequences and therapeutic effectiveness.

[0027] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a wearable device for lymphatic therapy is illustrated, comprising a wearable band 101, a pair of straps 102 are attached with the band 101, a pair of motorized rollers 103 provided with the band 101 and coiled with the straps 102, plurality of air bladders 104 strategically fabricated on inner portion of the band 101, a plate 105 installed over each air bladder 104, a vibrating unit 106 is positioned between the plate 105 and the air bladder 104, a thermal camera 107 embedded within the band 101, a chamber 108 attached with the band 101, a micro conduit 109 is connected to the chamber 108, a motorized iris unit 110 is integrated at junction of the conduit 109 and chamber 108, a detachable and extendable rod 111 is attached with the band 101 and the rod 111 being securely attached to the band 101 via an electromagnetic coupling 112.

[0028] The device disclosed herein comprises a wearable band 101 configured to fit around various parts of a user’s body and allows the user to utilize the device for lymphatic therapy. The lymphatic therapy is a treatment that uses massage and other techniques to stimulate the lymphatic system and reduce swelling. The band 101 is developed to be comfortably fit around various parts of the user’s body for ensuring a secure and personalized fit. To ensure stability of the band 101 over the user’s body, there is a pair of straps 102 are attached to the band 101 to secure it firmly in place. These straps 102, along with the band 101, provide a stable base for the integrated therapy mechanisms, ensuring comfort and proper positioning during use.

[0029] To enhance the user experience, multiple first pressure sensors are embedded within the band 101 and straps 102 to detect the pressure exerted on the user’s body. The first pressure sensor contains a piezoelectric material, which generates a voltage in response to mechanical stress. When a pressure is applied by the band 101 and straps 102 on the user’s body, it deforms the piezoelectric material. The pressure applied by the band 101 and straps 102 on the user’s body causes the material to deform, 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.

[0030] The pressure sensor liked with an inbuilt microcontroller continuously monitors the data from the pressure sensor to detect the pressure exerted on the user’s body for analyzing improper pressure distribution. The microcontroller functions as the central processing unit of the device, executing programmed instructions to control its operations, manage inputs and outputs, and coordinate various components for seamless functionality. The microcontroller after detecting improper pressure distribution, actuates a pair of motorized rollers 103 integrated within the band 101. These rollers 103, coiled with the straps 102, rotate on their axis to fine-tune the fit, ensuring uniform compression and maximizing therapeutic benefits.

[0031] The motorized roller 103 is a mechanical component designed to rotate on its axis with the help of an integrated electric motor. The roller 103 serves as a surface for supporting, and rotating on its axis to properly fit the band 101 and straps 102 around user’s body. The roller 103 is equipped with an electric motor that provides the rotational power necessary to turn the roller. The motor is connected to the roller 103 tube through a drive mechanism, which involves gears, belts to transfer the motor’s rotational force to the roller, causing it to spin and fit the band 101 and straps 102 around user’s body.

[0032] After successful placement of the band 101 around the user’s body, the user access a user-interface inbuilt in a computing unit of the user (e.g., laptop, smartphone and tablet), to select specific lymphatic regions for targeted compression. The computing unit linked with the microcontroller through a communication module to facilitate wireless connectivity between the device and the computing unit accessed by the user, thereby providing personalizing therapy sessions to address individual needs. The communication module includes, but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module.

[0033] Internally, the communication module consists of, a radio frequency (RF) transceiver, a protocol stack, an antenna arrangement, and a network processor. The RF transceiver is responsible for modulating and demodulating signals during data transmission, ensuring error-free communication. The protocol stack manages network protocols such as TCP/IP for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for low-power data exchange, or GSM for cellular connectivity. The antenna arrangement optimizes signal reception and transmission to maintain a stable connection, while the network processor handles data encryption, device authentication, and packet routing.

[0034] When the user interacts with the computing unit, the communication module transmits user commands to the microcontroller, which then evaluate specific action in response to the user’s command.

[0035] Herein, the inner portion of the band 101 is equipped with multiple strategically placed air bladders 104, designed to provide controlled compression to targeted lymphatic zones. In accordance with the evaluated action of the microcontroller, the microcontroller actuates an air inflator, which are connected to air bladders 104 to, inflates and deflates bladders 104 in a coordinated sequence. This rhythmic compression mimics natural lymphatic massage, promoting efficient fluid movement and reducing swelling.

[0036] The inflator extracts the air from surrounding and increases the pressure of the air by reducing the volume of the air and which is further injected in the bladders 104. Further, the bladders 104 are laminated of multiple thin polymeric films, when air is inserted in the bladders 104 by means of the inflator, the films are puffed and the bladders 104, allows for the regulation of pressure that is crucial for therapeutic effects.

[0037] The microcontroller also ensures that the bladders 104 easily inflated and deflated to specific pressures, helping in the creation of rhythmic movements or waves. The bladder 104 creates a wave-like motion by inflating and deflating the bladders 104 in a coordinated pattern. This wave-like motion mimics natural massage or fluid movement, which is especially beneficial for lymphatic drainage and relaxation. The rhythmic inflation and deflation helps in stimulating blood flow, reducing muscle tension, and enhancing lymph circulation, ultimately improving the body’s overall health and recovery processes.

[0038] Meanwhile, a second set of pressure sensors is integrated within each air bladder 104 that is actuated by the microcontroller to monitor the force exerted on the user’s body in real-time. This data is fed to the microcontroller, which continuously adjusts the inflation and deflation cycles to maintain a predefined therapeutic pressure range. This real-time optimization ensures effective therapy while preventing over-inflation or under-inflation that causes discomfort or injury for ensuring that the therapeutic effect is both effective and safe. Throughout the process, the pressure sensor keeps sending signal to the inflator to adjust the bladder’s inflation level accordingly, thereby providing an optimal experience for the user.

[0039] For further customization, the device incorporates a Peltier unit thermally coupled with each air bladder. The microcontroller dynamically regulates heating and cooling cycles, enabling personalized thermal therapy based on user preferences set through the computing unit, which enhances the therapeutic effects by relaxing muscles, reducing inflammation, and improving circulation. The Peltier unit consists of two semiconductor materials connected in a sandwich-like fashion. These materials are typically made of bismuth telluride and one side of the Peltier unit is called the hot side and the other is the cold side.

[0040] When a direct current is applied to the Peltier unit, electrodes within the semiconductor material start moving from one side to the other. The Peltier effect occurs as a result of electron movement. When electrons flow from the cold side to the hot side, they carry heat with them. This leads to one side of the Peltier unit becoming colder, and the other side becoming hooter. This effect allows the Peltier unit to effectively transfer heat from one side to the other, creating a temperature gradient. Heat therapy is effective for promoting circulation and loosening tight muscles, while cold therapy helps reduce swelling and soreness, particularly in the lymphatic system.

[0041] Each air bladder 104 is supplemented with a plate 105 that provides a stable support structure, wherein a vibrating unit 106 is positioned between the plate 105 and the air bladder 104, which is activated by the microcontroller to generate vibrational sensations. This mechanism aids in muscle relaxation, enhances circulation, and prepares the lymphatic pathways for improved fluid movement for optimizing the therapeutic effect. Before the bladder 104 inflates, the vibrating unit 106 stimulates specific muscles, preparing them for the pressure that will follow. This vibration helps to loosen up muscles and tissues, enhancing the effectiveness of the pressure applied later.

[0042] In preferred embodiment of the present invention, the vibrating unit 106 consists of a miniature DC motor. The DC motor-based eccentric rotating mass (ERM) vibrator is used, it functions by spinning an off-centred weight, generating oscillations that transfer to the wearable band 101. The speed of rotation determines the intensity of vibrations, which can be controlled by varying the voltage supplied by the microcontroller.

[0043] In another embodiment of the present invention, the vibrating unit 106 consists of a piezoelectric actuator. The piezoelectric actuator operates by rapidly oscillating a mass using piezoelectric material deformation, offering precise and fine-tuned vibration control.

[0044] Further improving user comfort, a thermal camera 107 is embedded within the band 101 to monitor breathing patterns by detecting temperature variations in exhaled air. Internally, the thermal camera 107 operates based on infrared (IR) sensing principle. It consists of a microbolometer sensor array that detects infrared radiation (heat signatures) emitted from the user’s breath. When the user exhales, the air leaving their nostrils or mouth is typically warmer than the surrounding ambient temperature. The thermal camera 107 captures this temperature differential and converts it into a thermal image or data matrix, which is then processed by the microcontroller. By continuously analyzing temperature fluctuations over time, the microcontroller accurately determines the breathing rate and pattern.

[0045] The microcontroller analyzes this data and dynamically adjusts the compression timing to synchronize with the user’s natural respiration cycle. This ensures a more natural and comfortable therapy experience, reducing discomfort and enhancing effectiveness. For example, when the user exhales, the device inflates the bladder 104, and when the user inhales, it deflates, ensuring a rhythmic and natural interaction with the user’s body.

[0046] To complement the physical therapy, the device incorporates a chamber 108 that stores a therapeutic cream formulated to reduce swelling, promote circulation, and support lymphatic drainage. A micro conduit 109 is connected to this chamber 108, allowing controlled transport and application of the cream to the targeted lymphatic areas. The microcontroller precisely regulates the dispensing process, preventing wastage and ensuring optimal absorption.

[0047] A motorized iris unit 110 is positioned at the junction of the conduit 109 and the therapeutic cream chamber 108. The microcontroller dynamically adjusts the iris unit 110 to regulate the flow of the therapeutic cream, ensuring precise dispensing without leakage. This mechanism ensures that the right amount of cream is applied exactly where needed, maximizing its effectiveness while minimizing waste. When a precise amount is dispensed, the valve closes automatically, preventing excess leakage.

[0048] To amplify the therapeutic benefits, the device is equipped with multiple electrode patches embedded within the wearable band 101. These patches deliver electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) through controlled electrical impulses, targeting specific muscle groups to enhance circulation, alleviate pain, and facilitate lymphatic drainage. The microcontroller regulates the intensity and duration of the impulses to ensure safe and effective therapy.

[0049] For added convenience, the device includes a detachable and extendable rod 111 securely attached to the band 101 via an electromagnetic coupling 112. This rod 111 provides adjustable support to the user, allowing for better positioning and stability during therapy sessions. The rod 111 is quickly attached or detached as needed, enhancing user comfort and flexibility. The rod 111 mentioned herein is typically a telescopic rod, which allows for quick and effortless adjustments to its length, making it highly customizable. The telescopic rod mentioned above basically consist of multiple cylindrical sections with one section sliding inside the other. The sections are basically made of materials that may include but are not limited to metals and lightweight alloys.

[0050] 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.

[0051] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the user first wears the wearable band 101, which is designed to fit around various body parts. The straps 102 attached to the band 101 help secure it in place. The first pressure sensors embedded in the band 101 and straps 102 detect the level of tightness around the body. If the fit is loose or uneven, the microcontroller activates motorized rollers 103 that rotate to adjust the straps 102, ensuring the proper and comfortable fit. Once the device is properly fitted, the communication module connects the microcontroller to the computing unit (e.g., the mobile app or computer interface). The user accesses this interface to select specific lymphatic regions for targeted therapy, which allows customize compression patterns, vibration intensity, temperature settings, and cream application based on user needs. With the therapy settings selected, the microcontroller actuates the air inflator that is connected to the plurality of air bladders 104 embedded inside the band 101. These bladders 104 inflate and deflate in the coordinated sequence, applying rhythmic pressure that mimics natural lymphatic massage. This helps in stimulating lymphatic flow, reducing swelling, and improving circulation. Additionally, second pressure sensors integrated with each air bladder 104 continuously monitor the force exerted on the user's body. Based on real-time feedback, the microcontroller adjusts the inflation and deflation to maintain the optimal therapeutic pressure range, preventing excessive compression or discomfort. Each air bladder 104 is supported by the plate 105, which ensures that the therapy remains stable and evenly distributed. the vibrating unit 106 positioned between the plate 105 and the bladder 104 is activated by the microcontroller to generate vibrational sensations over the user’s body. These vibrations loosen muscles, stimulate deeper lymphatic pathways, and enhance fluid movement, further improving therapy efficiency. The thermal camera 107 embedded within the band 101 monitors the user's breathing patterns by detecting temperature variations in exhaled air. The microcontroller analyzes this data in real-time and adjusts the compression timing dynamically to synchronize with the user's natural breathing rhythm. This makes the therapy more comfortable and effective, aligning it with the body's physiological cycles. To complement the therapy, the device features the chamber 108 storing the therapeutic cream formulated to aid swelling reduction, circulation improvement, and lymphatic drainage. the micro conduit 109 is connected to this chamber 108, allowing the cream to be precisely dispensed onto the targeted areas. The microcontroller controls the release of the cream via the motorized iris unit 110 that dynamically adjusts the flow rate, ensuring accurate dispensing without leakage or wastage. For added customization, the Peltier unit is thermally coupled with each air bladder. The microcontroller regulates the heating and cooling cycles of these units based on the user’s selected settings. This feature allows for hot or cold therapy, which further aids in pain relief, circulation enhancement, and lymphatic function improvement. The electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) patches deliver controlled electrical impulses to stimulate targeted muscle groups, helping with pain reduction, circulation improvement, and enhanced lymphatic drainage. For users who require physical support during therapy, the detachable and extendable rod 111 is attached to the wearable band 101. This rod 111, which uses electromagnetic coupling 112, quickly attached or detached based on the user’s needs.
