Computerized portable device for the enhancement of circulation
First Claim
1. A portable device for modifying blood or lymph flow in a limb of a user, the device comprising:
- an actuator configured for applying intermittent compression on said limb;
an at least one sensor, located adjacent to the body of the user, to measure at least one physiological parameter of the user and to generate an electronic signal representing a measured value of said at least one parameter; and
a transceiver coupled to the at least one sensor to receive signals generated by the at least one sensor and to transmit the signals received from the at least one sensor to at least one computing device located within or remotely from said device.

Abstract
A portable limb-mounted device for enhancing blood and/or lymph flow in a limb and/or for preventing stasis related disorders, the device comprising an energy generating device, an actuator, one or more compressing elements for generating squeezing forces on the limb of a user, a sensor located adjacent to the body of the user and coupled to a transceiver device, and a transceiver device coupled to the sensor to receive signals generated by the sensor, to transfer the signals received from the sensor device to a computing device. The device further comprises a computerized control system including a microcontroller and a memory device to store activity related information for subsequent downloads to an external computer-based monitoring device.
