Abstract:
Embodiments may stimulate nerve activity using transcutaneous nerve stimulation, as well as monitor nerve activity through the skin. Various branches of the nervous system may be accessed at various points on the body. For example, system for monitoring and stimulating human body activity and conditions may comprise at least one transcutaneous nerve stimulation circuitry comprising a circuitry adapted to generate a nerve stimulation signal and at least one electrode or contact adapted to apply the nerve stimulation signal to a nerve of a human through a skin of the human, transcutaneous electrical nerve monitoring circuitry comprising a circuitry adapted to monitor at least one nerve signal received from at least one sensor adapted to obtain the at least one nerve signal from a human through the skin of the human, and control circuitry adapted to control signal generation and signal application of the transcutaneous nerve stimulation circuitry

Claim (Index 13):
A method for monitoring and stimulating human body activity and conditions comprising:\n generating, at control circuitry comprising a processor, storage, a power supply, and a wireless communication unit, wherein the processor is operably connected to the storage to store and retrieve data, the wireless communication unit is operably connected to the processor to provide wireless communications, and the power supply is operably connected to the processor, storage, and wireless communication unit, control signals to control signal generation and signal application of at least one transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) signal, control signals to control signal generation and signal application of at least one transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation (tVNS) signal and control signals to control monitoring of at least one nerve signal; generating, at at least one transcutaneous nerve electrical stimulation (TENS) unit, under control of the controls signals, at least one nerve stimulation signal and transmitting the generated at least one nerve stimulation signal to at least one electrode or contact adapted to apply the nerve stimulation signal to a nerve of a human through the skin of the human; generating, at at least one transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation (tVNS) unit, under control of the controls signals, at least one vagal nerve stimulation signal and transmitting the generated at least one vagal nerve stimulation signal to at least one electrode or contact adapted to apply the vagal nerve stimulation signal to a vagal nerve of a human through the skin of the human; and monitoring, at transcutaneous electrical nerve monitoring circuitry comprising the processor, the storage, the power supply, and the wireless communication unit, and further comprises an analog to digital converter and at least one sensor adapted to obtain at least one nerve signal from a human through the skin of the human, wherein the analog to digital converter is operably connected to the at least one sensor to receive an analog nerve signal and output a digital signal to the processor, under control of the controls signals, at least one nerve signal received from the at least one sensor.
