Solution Overview

Problem

Existing therapeutic devices, such as electromagnetotherapy devices, require manual adjustment of electromagnetic field intensity and frequency by specialists, which is impractical for domestic use and does not account for individual physiognomy and body part variations, leading to simplified treatment programs that may not fully address specific pathologies.

Innovation Solution

A user-friendly therapeutic device that allows users to input physiognomic, body part, and pathology data, utilizing lookup tables to automatically adjust the intensity and frequency of the treatment signal generated by the terminal, eliminating the need for specialist intervention.

AI summary

A therapeutic device for treating the human body comprises: an electrical or magnetic or electromagnetic terminal (1), a signal generator (2), a CPU (8), a user interface (3) and a memory (7). The user interface (3) comprises: first input means (4) for the input of physiognomic data (40), second input means (5) for the input of body part data (50), and third input means (6) for the input of pathology data (60). The memory contains lookup tables (70, 71, 72) that correlate physiognomies, body parts and pathologies with intensity and/or frequency values of the treatment signal (T). The CPU (8) correlates the data (40, 50, 60) entered by the patient with the lookup tables (70, 71, 72) in order to find a correct intensity and/or frequency value of the treatment signal (T).
