Abstract:
1. An electromagnetic wave self-treatment assembly comprising a transmitting coil ( 1 ) arranged for transmitting electromagnetic waves, the transmitting coil ( 1 ) comprising a case ( 2 ) in which an electromagnetic coil ( 3 ) is accommodated, the coil ( 3 ) being connected to a cord ( 4 ) which at the end remote from the case ( 2 ) is fitted with a plug ( 5 ) connectable to an output ( 6 ) of a personal computer ( 7 ) of a patient, the assembly further comprising at least one sensor for measuring at least one of a temperature or a skin resistance to provide a measured value, said sensor being provided with an output suitable for connection to an input of the computer ( 7 ), and the assembly further comprising an access code, tangibly embodied in a computer readable medium, for enabling remote access to a treatment site on a computer network, the treatment site being arranged for transmitting via the network to the computer ( 7 ) of the patient a data file ( 8 ) which upon being processed in the computer ( 7 ) of the patient generates, via the transmitting coil ( 1 ) connected to the computer ( 7 ), a treatment signal tailored to the respective patient, the treatment signal having a frequency that is determined by the computer ( 7 ) based upon the measured value.
