What changed

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has published a new patent application, US20260083931A1, detailing a 'Relaxation System'. The application describes a device that uses a vibrator and electrodes to measure cardiac metrics, determine a relaxation status, and provide user feedback. The system aims to control user relaxation by adjusting vibration and feedback stimuli based on detected cardiac metrics.

This publication represents a new patent application filing and does not impose any immediate regulatory obligations on companies. However, it signals potential future innovation and intellectual property in the medical device and wellness technology sectors. Companies developing similar technologies should be aware of this application as it may impact future patentability and market exclusivity.

Abstract

A relaxation system includes an enclosure, a vibrator, electrodes, a user feedback stimulus generator, and at least one processing device in electrical communication with the vibrator, the electrodes and the user feedback stimulus generator. The vibrator is configured to induce vibrations of the enclosure. Each electrode includes a contact surface flush with or extending outwardly from an outer surface of the enclosure. The user feedback stimulus generator is configured to generate a user-perceptible stimulus different than that of the vibrator. The processing device is configured to control the vibrator based on signals received from the electrodes, to measure at least one cardiac metric based on signals received from the electrodes and provide a detected cardiac metric, to determine a relaxation status by comparing the detected cardiac metric to a target cardiac metric, and to control operation of the user feedback stimulus generator based on the relaxation status.
