Electronic stimulation textile for traditional Chinese medicine therapy

This invention describes a special fabric designed to deliver traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapy using mild electrical pulses. It features two exposed conductive fabric areas, separated by non-conductive fabric, with multiple metallic buttons attached to them. An electronic controller sends stimulation signals through these buttons to specific body parts or acupoints, and a switch allows activation of only some of the buttons.

Why it matters: Since 2009, advancements in flexible electronics and smart textile manufacturing have made integrating sophisticated electronic stimulation controllers into comfortable, durable garments significantly more practical and cost-effective.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
