Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), also known as neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) or electromyostimulation, is the elicitation of muscle contraction using electric impulses. EMS has received an increasing amount of attention in the last few years for many reasons: it can be utilized as a strength training tool for healthy subjects and athletes; it could be used as a rehabilitation and preventive tool for partially or totally immobilized patients; it could be utilized as a testing tool for evaluating the neural and/or muscular function in vivo; it could be used as a post-exercise recovery tool for athletes. The impulses are generated by a device and are delivered through electrodes on the skin near to the muscles being stimulated. The electrodes are generally pads that adhere to the skin. The impulses mimic the action potential that comes from the central nervous system, causing the muscles to contract. The use of EMS has been cited by sports scientists as a complementary technique for sports training, and published research is available on the results obtained. In the United States, EMS devices are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Non-invasive devices, systems, and methods for monitoring blood flow and coagulation
Wearable devices, including topical patches or sleeves applied to the skin, are used to stimulate and recognize changes in blood flow and clotting. A noninvasive transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulator (EMS) is embedded in the patch or sleeve and delivers continuous stimulation to perivascular tissue to promote blood flow. The stimulation system includes a series of electrodes positioned on the skin via the patch or sleeve and an external programmable generator with wireless connectivity during stimulation. Biosensors in the patch or sleeve and other biosensors applied to the body periodically check for abnormal biomarker patterns. These patterns may be used by artificial intelligence (AI) / machine learning (ML) systems as early indicators or by predictive methods to predict changes in blood flow and clotting, such as those caused by venous thrombosis. When abnormal biomarker patterns are detected, an alert may be sent and a therapeutic response may be initiated.

A muscle electrical stimulation device for the soleus muscle group
An electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) device for the soleus muscle group includes an electrical stimulation generating unit, a working mode setting module, and an electrical stimulation output control module. The electrical stimulation generating unit generates an electrical stimulation signal. The working mode setting module configures at least one working mode, including configuring the frequency and duration of the electrical stimulation signal. The frequency of the electrical stimulation signal is within a preset frequency range, and the duration of the electrical stimulation signal is within a preset time range. The upper limit of the frequency range is less than a first threshold, and the lower limit of the time range is greater than a second threshold, thereby increasing the basal metabolic rate of the soleus muscle group. The electrical stimulation output control module transmits the electrical stimulation signal to the soleus muscle group according to one of the working modes configured by the working mode setting module. This addresses the technical problem that existing EMS devices have limited effectiveness in increasing basal metabolic rate and struggle to achieve sustained and effective metabolic enhancement.
