Smart Pain Intervention via Neuromuscular Engineering (SPINE)
This paper proposes a novel device with a specialized design that transforms lower back pain management through the integration of real-life electromyography (EMG) sensing with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). In theory, it serves to completely eliminate the need for manual operation by automatically detecting muscle spasms and delivering instant target pain relief. As a hands-free, on-demand solution, its discreet and ergonomic design enables users to manage their pain seamlessly while not inhibiting their daily activities, overcoming the limitations of traditional devices on the market. This device is truly set apart by its innovative integration of proven technologies with adaptability and novel algorithms, overall ensuring precise and effective relief. A breakthrough in wearable health technology, this device has the potential to improve the quality of life for millions and pave the way for future advancements in non-invasive pain management.
