An interactive home treatment system and method is disclosed. Patient data is collected via a handheld device and stored in a database. The data may be related to self-treatments, symptoms, or patient behavior. The data are analyzed with an analytic tool and the analysis is used to generate a message that is transmitted to a treating health care professional or to the patient, or both. A set of predetermined rules may be applied to the data. The rules may be modified by the treating health care professional, the patient, or both. The handheld device, the database, and the analytic tool may be web-enabled to facilitate communication from virtually anywhere.

The present invention relates to a method for treating a disorder chosen from ocular Demodex, Demodex-induced blepharitis, rosacea, acne, and meibomian gland dysfunction in a patient in need thereof, comprising administering to the patient a composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a substance chosen from at least one of an isoprenoidal essential oil such as Tea Tree Oil; Terpinen-4-ol; Carvone; alpha-Terpineol; Cardinene; d-Carvone; l-Carvone; gamma-Terpinene; alpha-Terpinene; 1,8-Cineole; alpha-Terpineol; para-Cimene; alpha-Pinene; Limonene; (R)-(+)-Limonene; alpha-Thugene; Eucalyptol; (+)-Ledene; Cuminic Aldehyde; and Myrcene; the administration comprising contacting or scrubbing an affected area of skin or hair, or eyelid margin and lashes of the patient with the composition; also disclosed are a method for treating mange and mite infestations on a mammalian animal; and kits for in-office and at home treatments of the disorders.

A handheld tissue stretching device combined with an extremity flexibility number, stretchscore, enables users to independently evaluate and treat the flexibility of their extremity tissue minimizing physical therapist intervention to evaluate and treat tissue. The distance between handheld stretching devices and the extremity supports changes with a high degree of variability during home treatments; whereas, medical professionals monitor stretch intensity visually and manually. Patients performing home-based stretches impart variable intensity that leads to inconsistent tissue treatment resulting in increased tissue stiffness. The present inventors have discovered when the slack is automatically retracted, the distance between the users hands and the extremity support is continuously proportional to the flexibility of the extremity. This “distance matching” between the handheld stretching device and the extremity support provides a reliable, repeatable, and independent evaluation of extremity flexibility by directly relating this change in distance to the user's flexibility.

A household treatment instrument comprises a processor for operating a connection agent and has an on mode and an off mode, wherein when the connection agent is in an on mode, the processor can exchange data with a system concentrator located at a remote location of a patient's home or residence, wherein data received from the system concentrator includes a device program, the device program including a plurality of parameters, the processor operates the home treatment instrument with the parameters to perform home treatment. When the connection agent is in an off mode, the processor cannot exchange data with the system concentrator. The household treatment instrument further comprises a user interface to receive a patient's selection of a device program received from the system concentrator, and a pump that performs a home treatment according to the selected device program under the control of the processor.

Portable compressed squatting pan and its use method, comprising compressible plastic, four stretchable metal sticks, a plurality of stool outer bags and a plurality of urine bags with water-absorbing agents, each of the stool outer bags is placed with absorbent and a A poop bag with a water-absorbing agent; wherein, the compressible plastic is expanded into a square structure with an open top surface, and columnar holes are provided along the connecting lines of the two adjacent sides of the square structure; four stretchable metal rods After being stretched, they are respectively inserted into the four columnar holes to fix the shape of the compressible plastic; both the urine bag and the stool bag containing the water-absorbing agent can be set in the square structure. After urinating, the urinal bag is tied up, and after defecation, the tied up stool bag containing toilet paper and sterile paper towels are put into the stool outer bag containing adsorbent and sealed. Bagged urine and urine can be thrown away in the nearest trash can or taken home for disposal. The squatting pan is small in size, light in weight, convenient to carry, easy to use, does not pollute the environment, and solves the problem of difficulty in going out to go to the toilet.
