SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THERAPEUTIC STIMULATION VIA GARMENTS AND INSERTS PROVIDED THEREON

摘要

According to the invention, a system for applying therapeutic stimulation to a human body is disclosed. The system may include a garment and a therapeutic insert. The garment may include a flexible material configured to apply compressive forces to a portion of a person wearing the garment, a communication interface, and an attachment point. The therapeutic insert may include a vibration unit configured to vibrate against the person, and to activate upon an instruction being received from the communication interface. The therapeutic insert may also include a thermal unit configured to apply heating or cooling to the person, and to activate upon an instruction being received from the communication interface. The therapeutic insert may further include a sensor configured to determine a physiological characteristic of the person, and to communicate the physiological characteristic to the communication interface. The therapeutic insert may be configured to couple with the attachment point.
