Thermal Stimulus Guide Elements for Growth Hormone Secretion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for reducing psychological stress and treating conditions like diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure are inadequate in effectively promoting secretion of growth hormone and improving related symptoms through targeted body surface stimulation.
Innovation Solution
A stimulus applying apparatus and method that uses thermal, light, vibration, or sound waves to increase blood flow by 60% or more at specific sites on the body surface, including the intersection of the medial malleolus and metatarsale primam 1 and 2, incisurasive foramen supraorbitalis, and other designated areas, using guide elements made of different metals to control temperature between 40 to 50±5° C, thereby promoting hormone secretion and alleviating stress-related symptoms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If thermal stimulus is applied to specific body surface sites, then blood flow increases by 60% or more and growth hormone secretion is promoted, but the temperature must be precisely controlled between 40 to 50±5° C to avoid thermal damage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies thermal stimulus with temperature controlled within a specific range (40 to 50±5° C) to stimulate growth hormone secretion. By precisely controlling the temperature parameter within this optimized range, the invention achieves effective hormone promotion while avoiding thermal damage, resolving the contradiction between effectiveness and safety.
2Reliability
If multiple stimulus points are applied simultaneously, then the effectiveness of stress reduction and hormone secretion is enhanced, but the device complexity and operation difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the treatment into multiple discrete stimulus points on the body surface, each targeting specific acupuncture or acupressure locations. This segmentation allows systematic application of thermal stimulus to multiple points while maintaining organized control, enhancing effectiveness without overwhelming complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple therapeutic effects (stress reduction, blood flow enhancement, and growth hormone secretion promotion) through a single integrated thermal stimulus application system. By merging these functions into one treatment protocol applied at multiple points, the invention achieves comprehensive health benefits while managing device complexity.
3Productivity
If thermal stimulus intensity is increased to maximize growth hormone secretion, then the therapeutic effect is enhanced, but the risk of thermal damage to skin and underlying tissues increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes the thermal stimulus parameters by controlling temperature within the range of 40 to 50±5° C. This parameter optimization achieves effective growth hormone secretion promotion while maintaining safety margins that prevent thermal damage to skin and underlying tissues, resolving the contradiction between productivity and safety.
