Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wearable devices for male genitalia are not easy to carry and lack the ability to effectively radiate light with specific wavelength bands to improve male reproductive function and increase testosterone levels.
Innovation Solution
A wearable device for male genitalia comprising a half-ring body with a hinge and light radiation device that adjusts to fit the penis and scrotum, using point light sources, surface light sources, or micro LED elements to emit light within a predetermined wavelength band for a set duration, optionally with diffusion or reflector panels to enhance light distribution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a wearable device for male genitalia is designed to be compact and portable, then ease of carry is improved, but the ability to radiate light with specific wavelength bands effectively may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The device divides the light radiation function into multiple independent LED modules (first, second, third, and fourth light emitting modules) distributed around the genitalia. Each module contains LEDs emitting at specific wavelengths (e.g., 630-680nm, 780-850nm) to target different tissue areas independently, maintaining effective light radiation while keeping each module compact and the overall device portable.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the device emit light at different wavelength bands tailored to specific physiological needs: red light (630-680nm) for general circulation, near-infrared (780-850nm) for deeper tissue penetration. The hinge mechanism allows local adjustment of each module's position to optimize light delivery to specific areas of the penis and scrotum, ensuring effective treatment while maintaining a compact form factor.
2Ease of operation
If the device structure is simplified for ease of carry, then portability is improved, but the ability to maintain consistent contact and positioning may be worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The device incorporates a hinge mechanism connecting the first and second bodies, allowing dynamic adjustment of the angle between them. This enables the device to adapt to different anatomical positions and maintain consistent contact with the genitalia during movement or changes in posture, while the overall simplified half-ring structure remains compact and easy to carry.
Solution Approach 2:
The device uses flexible elastic bands as coupling elements between the light emitting modules and the body structures. These elastic bands provide flexible connection that maintains consistent contact pressure and positioning reliability while allowing the device to conform to the contours of the genitalia, all within a compact portable design.
3Area of stationary object
If multiple light emitting modules are added to cover wide area, then treatment effectiveness is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The device divides the treatment area into four distinct light emitting modules, each responsible for a specific region. The first module targets the penile shaft, the second module targets the glans, the third module targets the left scrotum, and the fourth module targets the right scrotum. This segmentation achieves wide area coverage while keeping each module simple and the overall structure manageable through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
Each light emitting module is designed to be multi-functional: they can independently emit at different wavelength bands (red and near-infrared), can be adjusted to different angles via the hinge mechanism, and can be positioned to treat various anatomical structures. This universality allows a single compact device structure to achieve wide area coverage without proportionally increasing complexity.
