Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of transcranial magnetic stimulation technology, specifically a transcranial magnetic stimulation system. Background Technology

[0002] Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) technology generates a specific magnetic field that acts on functional areas of the brain through stimulation of the head, thereby regulating neural activity. It has become an important means of treating brain disorders such as depression and anxiety. Its core principle is to improve abnormal neurological function by precisely targeting specific brain regions with magnetic fields. The control method of the stimulation head, parameter adaptability, and data management capabilities directly affect the treatment effect.

[0003] Existing transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) devices have significant limitations in their technical implementation: First, the stimulation head control is "bundled"—multiple stimulation heads must be turned on simultaneously, and all parameters (such as magnetic field strength and stimulation duration) must be identical, making it impossible to differentiate adjustments for specific brain functional areas corresponding to different conditions. This results in "indiscriminate coverage" during treatment and makes it difficult to adapt to the functional needs of different brain regions. Second, there is a lack of preset plans tailored to specific conditions, making it impossible to quickly match the corresponding stimulation head combination based on specific conditions such as depression or ADHD. The operation is cumbersome and lacks specificity. Third, there is no treatment recording or data storage function, making it impossible to track the parameters and effects of each patient's treatment or to optimize the plan through database comparison, resulting in a "no feedback adjustment" state during the treatment process. Fourth, the stimulation heads adopt an open-loop output design, making it impossible to detect the actual output magnetic field strength in real time, which makes it difficult to guarantee stimulation accuracy and response speed. At the same time, auxiliary treatment functions are not integrated, and there is a lack of optimized design for the treatment experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a transcranial magnetic stimulation system that solves the problems of existing technologies, such as the inability of the stimulation head to provide differentiated control for different diseases, the lack of disease-specific adaptation schemes, the absence of treatment records and data optimization functions, insufficient stimulation output accuracy, and the lack of auxiliary treatment functions.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a transcranial magnetic stimulation system, comprising: The stimulation head module is used to accommodate multiple independently controllable stimulation heads, each of which corresponds to a preset brain functional area to generate magnetic field stimulation. A control module is used to receive treatment instructions, selectively activate one or more stimulation heads in the stimulation head module according to the treatment instructions, and control the treatment parameters of the activated stimulation heads. The data interaction module is used to upload the treatment parameters and treatment data generated during the treatment process to the server, and to receive the optimized treatment plan from the server. The server module is used to receive and store the treatment data to build a patient database, and to perform comparative analysis on the treatment data based on the patient database to generate the optimized treatment plan and send it to the data interaction module.

[0006] Furthermore, the stimulation head module also includes: Multiple Hall sensors are provided, each corresponding to one of the multiple stimulation heads. The Hall sensors are used to detect the magnitude of the magnetic field output by their corresponding stimulation heads in real time and generate a magnetic field feedback signal. The control module is also used to receive the magnetic field feedback signal and, based on the difference between the magnetic field feedback signal and the preset magnetic field strength, to perform closed-loop adjustment of the output of the stimulation head to ensure the accuracy of the output magnetic field.

[0007] Furthermore, the control module also includes: The disease-specific treatment plan storage unit is used to store multiple preset disease-specific treatment plans, where each disease-specific treatment plan defines a correspondence between a specific disease and one or more stimulation heads to be activated; The scheme invocation unit is used to invoke the corresponding disease-specific treatment scheme from the disease-specific scheme storage unit when a treatment initiation command for a specific disease is received, so as to determine the combination of stimulation heads that need to be activated.

[0008] Furthermore, the correspondence stored in the disease-specific treatment plan storage unit includes: For depression, anxiety, or autism, the stimulation head combination corresponds to the prefrontal cortex, Broca's area, and the corresponding anterior functional area; Hyperactivity disorder or neuropathic pain corresponds to the stimulation head combination in the prefrontal cortex and auditory association cortex. Schizophrenia corresponds to the stimulation head combination of the prefrontal cortex, auditory association cortex, and parietal-truncal sensory cortex.

[0009] Furthermore, the server module includes: The data classification and management unit is used to classify the treatment data according to the patient's age information and disease type information after receiving the treatment data, and store the classified data into the patient database; The treatment plan comparison and analysis unit is used to compare the treatment data uploaded by a specific patient this time with the patient's historical treatment data stored in the patient database in order to evaluate the treatment effect. The automatic treatment plan generation unit is used to automatically adjust the treatment parameters based on the comparison results when the treatment effect evaluated by the treatment plan comparison and analysis unit does not reach the preset threshold, so as to generate the optimized treatment plan.

[0010] Furthermore, the data interaction module includes: A wireless communication unit is used to establish a communication connection with a control terminal via Bluetooth protocol, wherein the control terminal is used to send the treatment command to the control module; The data uploading unit is used to send the treatment parameters executed by the control module and the collected patient treatment information to the server module through a network communication link.

[0011] Furthermore, the system also includes: An auxiliary function module includes an aromatherapy unit controlled by the control module, which releases a specific odor to provide auxiliary treatment while performing magnetic field stimulation therapy.

[0012] Furthermore, the stimulation head module includes eight stimulation heads, each corresponding to one of the eight functional areas of the head, and the correspondence is as follows: The first stimulation head corresponds to the prefrontal cortex area; The second stimulation head corresponds to Broca's area on the left side of the forehead; The third stimulation head corresponds to Broca's area on the right side of the forehead; The fourth stimulation head corresponds to the motor cortex area on the upper left side of the head; The fifth stimulation head corresponds to the motor cortex area on the upper right side of the head; The sixth stimulation head corresponds to the auditory association cortex area; The seventh stimulation head corresponds to the Wernicke's area; The eighth stimulation head corresponds to the top trunk sensory cortex area.

[0013] Furthermore, the server module also includes: The data query and statistics unit is used to respond to data query requests, retrieve and statistically analyze data in the patient database, and generate statistical reports; wherein, the server module supports interconnection and interoperability management of data from multiple transcranial magnetic stimulation systems.

[0014] Furthermore, the treatment parameters include magnetic field strength and stimulation duration; the treatment data includes records of the patient's treatment status and parameter settings.

Figure 3 This is a system interface diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-3 The present invention provides a transcranial magnetic stimulation system, comprising: The stimulation head module is used to accommodate multiple independently controllable stimulation heads, each corresponding to a preset brain functional area to generate magnetic field stimulation. The control module is used to receive treatment instructions, selectively activate one or more stimulation heads in the stimulation head module according to the treatment instructions, and control the treatment parameters of the activated stimulation heads. The data interaction module is used to upload treatment parameters and treatment data generated during treatment to the server, and to receive optimized treatment plans from the server. The server module is used to receive and store treatment data to build a patient database, and to compare and analyze the treatment data based on the patient database to generate an optimized treatment plan and send it to the data interaction module.

[0020] Specifically, the stimulation head module can be set with 8 independently controllable stimulation heads, each corresponding to one of the 8 preset brain functional areas. For example, the first stimulation head corresponds to the prefrontal cortex, the second and third stimulation heads correspond to Broca's areas on the left and right sides of the front, the fourth and fifth stimulation heads correspond to the motor cortex areas on the left and right sides of the upper front of the head, the sixth stimulation head corresponds to the auditory association cortex, the seventh stimulation head corresponds to Wernicke's area, and the eighth stimulation head corresponds to the top trunk sensory cortex. Each stimulation head can be activated or deactivated individually to meet the stimulation needs of specific brain areas for different conditions.

[0021] The control module can use a microprocessor as the core control unit. When it receives a treatment instruction, such as a treatment instruction for depression sent by a doctor through a control terminal, the control module will selectively activate the corresponding stimulation head according to the instruction, such as activating the first, second, and third stimulation heads, and adjust the treatment parameters of these activated stimulation heads. The treatment parameters may include magnetic field strength and stimulation duration, such as controlling the magnetic field strength between 1 Tesla and 3 Tesla and setting the stimulation duration to 20 minutes.

[0022] The data interaction module integrates wireless communication and network communication components. The wireless communication component supports connection with the control terminal, such as connecting to the patient's mobile phone via Bluetooth to receive treatment commands. The network communication component records treatment parameters and patient data for each treatment session, such as post-treatment physical reactions and emotional states, and uploads this data to the server module via mobile or wireless networks. Simultaneously, the data interaction module can also receive optimized treatment plans from the server module and transmit them to the control module.

[0023] The server module can be built using a cloud server. Its internal storage unit organizes and stores the received treatment data, gradually building a patient database containing information on different patients. The server module's analysis unit compares and analyzes the treatment data based on this database. For example, it compares the current treatment data of a patient with the patient's past treatment data and the treatment data of other patients with similar conditions, analyzes the correlation between treatment parameters and treatment effects, and then generates an optimized treatment plan that is more suitable for the patient, which is then sent to the data interaction module.

[0024] With this setup, the system can achieve differentiated stimulation control for different symptoms, continuously optimize treatment plans based on data feedback, and effectively improve the accuracy and targeting of treatment.

[0025] In this embodiment, the stimulation head module further includes: Multiple Hall sensors are configured one-to-one with multiple stimulation heads. The Hall sensors are used to detect the magnitude of the magnetic field output by their corresponding stimulation heads in real time and generate magnetic field feedback signals. The control module is also used to receive magnetic field feedback signals and adjust the output of the stimulation head in a closed loop based on the difference between the magnetic field feedback signal and the preset magnetic field strength to ensure the accuracy of the output magnetic field.

[0026] Specifically, in the stimulation head module, a Hall sensor is fixedly installed at the rear of each stimulation head. For example, a first Hall sensor is installed at the rear of the first stimulation head, a second Hall sensor is installed at the rear of the second stimulation head, and so on, so as to achieve a one-to-one correspondence between the Hall sensor and the stimulation head.

[0027] When the stimulation head is in operation, the Hall sensor detects the actual magnetic field magnitude output by its corresponding stimulation head in real time and converts the detection result into a magnetic field feedback signal in the form of an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to the control module. The control module has preset target magnetic field strengths for different conditions or different stimulation heads. For example, for the first stimulation head in the prefrontal cortex area, the preset target magnetic field strength is 2 Tesla.

[0028] After receiving the magnetic field feedback signal, the control module compares the actual magnetic field strength with the preset target magnetic field strength and calculates the difference. If the actual magnetic field strength is lower than the preset target magnetic field strength, for example, if the actual detection value is 1.8 Tesla, which differs from the preset 2 Tesla by 0.2 Tesla, the control module sends an adjustment command to the stimulation head, increasing the input current of the stimulation head to raise the actual output magnetic field strength to 2 Tesla. If the actual magnetic field strength is higher than the preset target magnetic field strength, the control module reduces the input current of the stimulation head until the actual magnetic field strength matches the preset value.

[0029] By using the Hall sensor for real-time detection and the closed-loop adjustment of the control module, the accuracy of the magnetic field output by the stimulation head can be ensured, avoiding magnetic field deviations caused by factors such as equipment aging and environmental interference. At the same time, the output response speed of the stimulation head is improved, ensuring the stability of the treatment effect.

[0030] In this embodiment, the control module further includes: The disease-specific treatment plan storage unit is used to store multiple preset disease-specific treatment plans, where each disease-specific treatment plan defines a correspondence between a specific disease and one or more stimulation heads to be activated; The scheme invocation unit is used to invoke the corresponding disease-specific treatment scheme from the disease-specific scheme storage unit when a treatment initiation command for a specific disease is received, so as to determine the combination of stimulation heads that need to be activated.

[0031] Specifically, the disease-specific treatment plan storage unit in the control module can use storage media such as flash memory. It pre-stores multiple disease-specific treatment plans, each of which clearly records the correspondence between a specific disease and the corresponding combination of stimulation heads to be activated. For example, for depression, the stored correspondence is that the first, second, and third stimulation heads need to be activated; for ADHD, the stored correspondence is that the first and sixth stimulation heads need to be activated; for insomnia, the stored correspondence is that the first, sixth, seventh, and eighth stimulation heads need to be activated, and so on. These correspondences are determined based on clinical research and treatment experience, and can accurately match the brain region stimulation needs of different diseases.

[0032] The treatment plan invocation unit is connected to the disease-specific treatment plan storage unit and the instruction receiving end of the control module. When a user sends a treatment initiation command for a specific symptom through the control terminal, such as when a patient clicks the "Anxiety Treatment" button on the mobile phone control interface, the treatment plan invocation unit will immediately respond to the command, retrieve and call the disease-specific treatment plan corresponding to anxiety from the disease-specific treatment plan storage unit, and determine the stimulation head combination to be activated as the first, second, and third stimulation heads. Subsequently, the treatment plan invocation unit transmits the stimulation head combination information to the execution unit of the control module, and the control module activates the corresponding stimulation head and configures the corresponding treatment parameters accordingly.

[0033] This setup eliminates the need for users to manually select stimulation heads and set parameters; they can simply choose the corresponding symptom to quickly start treatment. This simplifies the process while ensuring targeted treatment, improving efficiency and user experience.

[0034] In this embodiment, the correspondence stored in the disease-specific treatment plan storage unit includes: For depression, anxiety, or autism, the stimulation head combination corresponds to the prefrontal cortex, Broca's area, and the corresponding anterior functional area; Hyperactivity disorder or neuropathic pain corresponds to the stimulation head combination in the prefrontal cortex and auditory association cortex. Schizophrenia corresponds to the stimulation head combination of the prefrontal cortex, auditory association cortex, and parietal-truncal sensory cortex.

[0035] Specifically, the correspondences stored in the disease-specific treatment plan storage unit are determined based on the pathological mechanisms of different diseases and their corresponding key brain functional areas. For depression, anxiety, or autism, their onset is closely related to the emotion regulation function of the prefrontal cortex, the language and emotional expression function of Broca's area, and the cognitive function of the corresponding anterior functional areas. Therefore, the corresponding stimulation head combination is the first stimulation head corresponding to the prefrontal cortex, the second stimulation head corresponding to Broca's area, and the third stimulation head corresponding to the corresponding anterior functional areas. When a patient initiates treatment for depression, the treatment plan invocation unit invokes this combination. Through synergistic stimulation of these three brain areas, it helps improve the patient's symptoms such as low mood and social impairment.

[0036] For ADHD or neuropathic pain, the attentional regulation function of the prefrontal cortex and the sensory processing function of the auditory association cortex are key therapeutic targets. Therefore, the corresponding stimulation head combination is the first stimulation head for the prefrontal cortex and the sixth stimulation head for the auditory association cortex. For example, in treating ADHD, activating these two stimulation heads can enhance the inhibitory control ability of the prefrontal cortex and simultaneously regulate the sensory hypersensitivity state of the auditory association cortex, thereby alleviating hyperactivity and pain symptoms.

[0037] For schizophrenia, its symptoms involve cognitive deficits in the prefrontal cortex, hallucination perception abnormalities in the auditory association cortex, and somatosensory abnormalities in the parietal sensory cortex. Therefore, the corresponding stimulation head combination is the first stimulation head for the prefrontal cortex, the sixth stimulation head for the auditory association cortex, and the eighth stimulation head for the parietal sensory cortex. Precise stimulation of these three brain regions can improve patients' cognitive impairment, hallucinations, and somatosensory abnormalities in multiple dimensions, thereby enhancing treatment outcomes.

[0038] These pre-defined correspondences enable the system to quickly match the optimal combination of stimulation heads for different symptoms, ensuring the specificity and effectiveness of the treatment.

[0039] In this embodiment, the server module includes: The data classification and management unit is used to classify the treatment data according to the patient's age and disease type information after receiving the treatment data, and then store the classified data in the patient database. The treatment plan comparison and analysis unit is used to compare the treatment data uploaded by a specific patient with the patient's historical treatment data stored in the patient database in order to evaluate the treatment effect. The automatic treatment plan generation unit is used to automatically adjust treatment parameters based on the comparison results when the treatment effect evaluated by the treatment plan comparison analysis unit does not reach the preset threshold, so as to generate an optimized treatment plan.

[0040] Specifically, after receiving treatment data, the data analysis and management unit of the server module first extracts patient age and disease type information from the data. For example, data on 20-year-old patients with depression are categorized into the youth depression category, and data on 50-year-old Parkinson's patients are categorized into the middle-aged and elderly Parkinson's category. This categorized data is then stored in the patient database in a unified format for easy subsequent querying and analysis. This classification management method makes the data in the database clearly organized, facilitating subsequent comparative analysis.

[0041] The treatment comparison and analysis unit periodically, or upon receiving new treatment data, compares a specific patient's current treatment data with the patient's historical treatment data stored in the database. For example, if a patient with depression shows a 10-point improvement in their mood score after the current treatment compared to their previous treatment, the unit will consider the score trends from the patient's past treatments to assess the effectiveness of the current treatment. A continuously rising score indicates a good treatment outcome; significant fluctuations or no noticeable increase suggest that the treatment may not have met expectations.

[0042] The automatic treatment plan generation unit has preset thresholds for therapeutic effects, such as an improvement in mood score of 15 points or more. When the treatment effect assessed by the treatment plan comparison and analysis unit does not reach this threshold, the automatic treatment plan generation unit will analyze the factors affecting the effect based on the comparison results, such as insufficient magnetic field strength or insufficient stimulation duration, and automatically adjust the corresponding treatment parameters. For example, if the analysis finds that magnetic field strength is the main influencing factor, the magnetic field strength will be adjusted from 2 Tesla to 2.2 Tesla; if the stimulation duration is insufficient, the duration will be extended from 20 minutes to 25 minutes, thereby generating an optimized treatment plan. This optimized plan will be sent to the control module through the data interaction module to guide the patient's next treatment.

[0043] With this setup, the server module can achieve refined management and dynamic analysis of treatment data, continuously optimize treatment plans based on patient feedback, realize personalized treatment, and improve the stability and sustainability of treatment effects.

[0044] In this embodiment, the data interaction module includes: The wireless communication unit is used to establish a communication connection with the control terminal via the Bluetooth protocol, and the control terminal is used to send treatment instructions to the control module. The data upload unit is used to send the treatment parameters executed by the control module and the collected patient treatment information to the server module through the network communication link.

[0045] Specifically, the wireless communication unit of the data interaction module integrates a Bluetooth chip, supporting Bluetooth 4.0 and above protocols, enabling it to establish a stable communication connection with the control terminal. The control terminal can be a smartphone, tablet, or other device. After installing the corresponding control application on the control terminal, the user can search for and connect to the system's Bluetooth signal through the application to establish communication. For example, if a patient opens the transcranial magnetic stimulation control app on their phone and clicks "Connect Device," the phone and the system's wireless communication unit will be successfully paired. The patient can then select the symptom type and send treatment commands on the app. For example, selecting "Insomnia Treatment" will transmit the command via Bluetooth to the control module, which will then initiate the corresponding treatment process.

[0046] The data upload unit has a built-in cellular network module or Wi-Fi module, enabling it to establish a network communication link with the server module via mobile data network or wireless network. During and after treatment, the data upload unit collects treatment parameters executed by the control module in real time or at regular intervals, such as the magnetic field strength and stimulation duration of each stimulation head, as well as treatment information input by the patient through the control terminal, such as post-treatment sleep quality and physical comfort. This data is then packaged, encrypted, and sent to the server module via the network communication link. For example, within 3 minutes after each treatment, the data upload unit automatically uploads the parameters of this treatment and the patient's feedback to the server, ensuring the timeliness and integrity of the data.

[0047] Through the coordinated operation of the wireless communication unit and the data upload unit, efficient data interaction between the system and the control terminal and server is achieved. This not only facilitates remote operation of the equipment by users, but also ensures the real-time upload and storage of treatment data, providing data support for subsequent solution optimization.

[0048] In this embodiment, the system further includes: The auxiliary function module includes an aromatherapy unit controlled by the control module, which releases a specific scent to provide auxiliary treatment while performing magnetic field stimulation therapy.

[0049] Specifically, the aromatherapy unit of the auxiliary function module can be set on the side of the stimulation head module or at the front of the device. It contains a fragrance storage box heating element and a control valve. Different types of aromatherapy materials, such as lavender essential oil and chamomile essential oil, can be placed in the fragrance storage box. These aromatherapy materials have the effect of soothing emotions and promoting relaxation.

[0050] The aromatherapy unit is electrically connected to the control module, and its operation is controlled by the control module. When the control module starts the treatment process, it simultaneously sends a start signal to the aromatherapy unit. Upon receiving the signal, the heating element of the aromatherapy unit starts working, gently heating the aromatherapy materials in the aroma storage box, causing the aromatherapy materials to volatilize and produce a specific scent. The control valve adjusts the amount of scent released according to a preset release rate, such as releasing 0.5 ml of volatile gas per minute, to ensure an appropriate scent concentration.

[0051] During treatment, the aroma released by the incense unit surrounds the patient's head, working synergistically with the magnetic field stimulation. For example, when treating insomnia, the incense unit releases lavender, which helps patients relax their nerves, relieve anxiety, and enhance the regulatory effect of the magnetic field stimulation on the sleep center; when treating anxiety disorders, the release of chamomile can further soothe the patient's tension and improve the overall treatment experience and effectiveness.

[0052] By integrating an aromatherapy unit, this system provides patients with a comfortable auxiliary treatment experience while achieving magnetic field stimulation therapy, which helps improve patient compliance and treatment effectiveness.

[0053] In this embodiment, the stimulation head module includes eight stimulation heads, which correspond to eight functional areas of the head, and the correspondence is as follows: The first stimulation head corresponds to the prefrontal cortex area; The second stimulation head corresponds to Broca's area on the left side of the forehead; The third stimulation head corresponds to Broca's area on the right side of the forehead; The fourth stimulation head corresponds to the motor cortex area on the upper left side of the head; The fifth stimulation head corresponds to the motor cortex area on the upper right side of the head; The sixth stimulation head corresponds to the auditory association cortex area; The seventh stimulation head corresponds to the Wernicke's area; The eighth stimulation head corresponds to the top trunk sensory cortex area.

[0054] Specifically, the eight stimulation heads of the stimulation head module are arranged in a distributed manner, with the position of each stimulation head matching the projection position of the corresponding head functional area on the scalp, ensuring that the magnetic field can accurately act on the target brain region.

[0055] The first stimulation head is placed on the scalp in the corresponding prefrontal cortex area. The prefrontal cortex area is related to emotion regulation and cognitive function. The magnetic field stimulation of the first stimulation head can improve the neural activity in this area. For example, in the treatment of depression, activating the first stimulation head can enhance the excitability of the prefrontal cortex area and relieve low mood.

[0056] The second and third stimulation heads correspond to the Broca's areas on the left and right sides of the scalp, respectively. Broca's areas are primarily responsible for language expression; stimulation of the second stimulation head can modulate the neural function in this area. For example, in treating autism, activating the second stimulation head helps improve the patient's verbal communication ability. Activating the third stimulation head can improve the patient's concentration; for example, in treating ADHD, it can work synergistically with other stimulation heads to enhance the therapeutic effect.

[0057] The fourth and fifth stimulation heads correspond to the motor cortex areas on the upper left and right sides of the front of the head, respectively. The motor cortex controls body movement and can regulate motor function. For example, in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, it helps to improve the patient's limb tremor symptoms and assist in improving motor coordination. For example, in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, it can be used in conjunction with the fourth stimulation head to enhance the recovery effect of motor function.

[0058] The sixth stimulation head corresponds to the auditory association cortex, which is related to auditory information processing. Stimulating the sixth stimulation head can modulate auditory perception, and for example, it can help alleviate auditory hallucinations in the treatment of schizophrenia.

[0059] The seventh stimulation head corresponds to Wernicke's area, which is responsible for language comprehension. Stimulation of the seventh stimulation head can improve language comprehension, for example, in the treatment of neurological disorders related to language comprehension.

[0060] The eighth stimulation head corresponds to the top trunk sensory cortex area, which processes somatic sensory information. Activating the eighth stimulation head can modulate somatosensory abnormalities, such as relieving somatic pain when treating neuropathic pain.

[0061] The independent control design of eight stimulation heads enables precise targeted stimulation of different brain regions, solving the problem of "indiscriminate coverage" of traditional devices and improving the accuracy of treatment.

[0062] In this embodiment, the server module further includes: The data query and statistics unit is used to respond to data query requests, retrieve and statistically analyze data in the patient database, and generate statistical reports; the server module supports the interconnection and interoperability management of data from multiple transcranial magnetic stimulation systems.

[0063] Specifically, the data query and statistics unit of the server module can receive data query requests from doctors or administrators through a web page or application programming interface. Query requests may include treatment data within a specific time period, statistics on the treatment effectiveness of a certain type of disease, and the usage frequency of multiple devices. For example, if a doctor sends a request to query "the average treatment duration and effectiveness improvement rate of patients with depression in the past three months," the data query and statistics unit will immediately retrieve data that meets the criteria from the patient database.

[0064] After retrieving relevant data, the data query and statistics unit will perform statistical analysis, such as calculating the average treatment time for depression patients in the past three months as 25 minutes and the average improvement rate as 30%. These statistical results will be generated into a statistical report in the form of charts or text and provided to the requester. The statistical report may include data trend charts, comparative analysis tables, etc., to visually display the data characteristics.

[0065] Meanwhile, the server module connects to multiple transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) systems via a network interface, supporting interconnected management of data from these devices. For example, if a hospital has five such devices, the server module can receive treatment data uploaded by each device in real time and store it uniformly in the patient database, achieving centralized data management. When it is necessary to statistically analyze the treatment status of a certain type of disease across the hospital, the data query and statistics unit can quickly aggregate the data from the five devices and generate a comprehensive statistical report.

[0066] Through data query and statistics units and multi-device interconnection and management functions, doctors and administrators can gain a comprehensive understanding of the overall treatment data, providing data support for clinical research, treatment plan optimization, and equipment management, thereby enhancing the system's practicality and scalability.

[0067] In this embodiment, the treatment parameters include magnetic field strength and stimulation duration; the treatment data includes records of the patient's treatment status and parameter settings.

[0068] Specifically, the magnetic field strength in the treatment parameters is set according to different stimulation heads and disease types. For example, the first stimulation head targeting the prefrontal cortex can be set to 2 Tesla for treating depression and 1.8 Tesla for treating anxiety; the fourth stimulation head targeting the motor cortex can be set to 2.5 Tesla for treating Parkinson's disease, to adapt to the different brain regions' needs for magnetic field strength. The stimulation duration is adjusted according to the severity of the disease and the stage of treatment. For example, the treatment duration for patients with mild depression can be set to 20 minutes per session, and for patients with moderate depression, it can be set to 30 minutes, ensuring treatment effectiveness while avoiding overstimulation.

[0069] The patient treatment data is recorded by the patient through the control terminal after each treatment. Examples include an improvement in post-treatment mood score from 3 out of 10 to 6, an increase in sleep duration from 4 hours to 6 hours, or mild discomfort such as dizziness. These records directly reflect changes in the patient's physical and psychological state after treatment. Parameter settings are automatically generated by the system, including information such as the magnetic field strength, stimulation duration, and combination of stimulation heads used in this treatment. For example, this treatment activated the first, second, and third stimulation heads, all with a magnetic field strength of 2 Tesla and a stimulation duration of 25 minutes.

[0070] These treatment parameters and data are uploaded to the server module via the data interaction module, where they are stored in association with the patient's basic information. Analysis of this data allows for clear tracking of the patient's treatment process, clarifies the relationship between treatment parameters and treatment outcomes, provides a concrete basis for subsequent treatment plan optimization, enables traceability and precise adjustment of the treatment process, and further improves treatment effectiveness.

[0071] In summary, this invention utilizes multiple independently controllable stimulation heads corresponding to different brain functional areas to achieve differentiated regulation for different conditions, avoiding "indiscriminate coverage"; it pre-sets specific treatment plans, which can quickly match stimulation head combinations corresponding to specific conditions, simplifying operation and providing strong targeting; it can record and upload treatment parameters and data, build a patient database through a server module, compare and analyze to generate optimized plans, and achieve treatment feedback adjustments; a Hall sensor detects the magnetic field in real time and adjusts it in a closed loop, ensuring stimulation accuracy and response speed; and an integrated aromatherapy unit provides auxiliary treatment, optimizing the treatment experience, effectively overcoming the limitations of existing technologies, and improving treatment accuracy, targeting, and effect stability.
