Abstract:
A method for distracting an individual from a treatment event comprises providing a distraction tool; positioning the distraction tool at a contact location on an individual, the contact location being substantially adjacent a location of a treatment event; activating an oscillation device to induce vibrations in the distraction tool; and subsequently initiating the treatment event at the treatment event location. The distraction tool comprises a stimulation apparatus comprising a housing and a plurality of projections extending from the housing. The oscillation device is in communication with the distraction tool to induce vibrations specifically in the stimulation apparatus. Activating the oscillation device to induce vibrations causes the plurality of projections to oscillate against the individual at the contact location, thereby shifting attention from the treatment event to the vibrations, wherein the shift in attention causes the individual to discount pain caused by the treatment event.

Claim (Index 20):
A system for diagnosing and providing a distraction to an individual, comprising:\n a distraction tool, comprising:\n a stimulation apparatus comprising a housing and a contact area having a distraction mechanism; and \n a sensor; and \n a structure comprising an input/output device and a processor in data communication with non-transitory computer memory comprising a program that, when effectuated by the processor, performs the following steps:\n receive a first input from the input/output device to determine a first level of distraction; \n activate the distraction mechanism of the stimulation apparatus based on the first level of distraction; \n receive a second input from the input/output device to determine a second level of distraction; \n adjust the distraction mechanism of the stimulation apparatus based on the second level of distraction; \n receive a sensor input from the sensor; \n analyze the sensor input based on a predetermined set of conditions; and \n provide an output at the input/output device, the output being based on the sensor input analysis.
