Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing magnetic field stimulation devices lack user-specific and comfortable treatment options, often resulting in inefficient muscle contraction and prolonged therapy times due to global muscle activation and energy depletion, which can lead to reduced treatment effectiveness and increased risk of muscle overload.
Innovation Solution
A device with an adjustable seat, programmable pulse generator, and automatic user identification system, allowing for personalized magnetic field parameter adjustment based on individual user data, combined with optional oxygen supply, light therapy, and telemedical consultation, to enhance muscle contraction efficiency and reduce therapy time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If magnetic field stimulation is applied to activate pelvic floor muscles, then muscle contraction is achieved, but global muscle activation causes energy depletion and prolonged therapy times
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by transitioning from global magnetic field stimulation to localized stimulation. The adjustable seat positions and targeted applicator placement enable precise localization of the magnetic field to specific muscle groups (e.g., pelvic floor muscles), ensuring that only the intended target area is stimulated rather than causing widespread muscle activation and energy depletion.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements segmentation by dividing the treatment into targeted sessions focusing on specific muscle groups. The adjustable seat and programmable pulse generator allow for segmented stimulation protocols that address individual muscle weaknesses without requiring prolonged continuous therapy, thereby reducing overall treatment time and energy consumption.
2Ease of operation
If magnetic field parameters are standardized for all users, then device operation is simplified, but treatment effectiveness is reduced due to lack of personalization
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by implementing programmable pulse generators with adjustable parameters (frequency, amplitude, pulse duration) that can be dynamically modified based on individual user needs. The adjustable seat positions and multiple applicator configurations enable the device to adapt to different user anatomies and treatment requirements, maintaining ease of operation through automated programs while ensuring treatment effectiveness through personalization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by allowing modification of magnetic field characteristics (strength, frequency, pulse pattern) and mechanical parameters (seat position, applicator placement) to optimize treatment for each user. These parameter adjustments are implemented through programmable control systems that balance operational simplicity with treatment customization.
3Reliability
If adjustable seat positions are provided for personalized treatment, then treatment comfort and effectiveness are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing an adjustable seat system that serves multiple functions: positioning the user for comfort, aligning the applicator with target muscle groups, and enabling various treatment configurations. This multi-functional approach consolidates what could be multiple separate components into a single integrated system, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining treatment effectiveness.
