Abstract: A neuromodulation device, system, and method comprising a patch having an energy generator that is removably positionable proximate to a sexual organ of a patient or user in order to alter the user's sexual climax or orgasm. The device stimulates nerve proximate to the sexual organ to either intensify or delay a timing of a sexual climax or orgasm.

Abstract: A neuromodulation such as ultrasound therapy having a cuff and transducer to removably position on a penis of a patient in order to treat premature ejaculation. The transducer stimulates a dorsal nerve of the penis in order to stimulate or inhibit the nerve pathway between the penis and the brain in order to delay ejaculation until the user or their partner desires to have an ejaculation occur.

Abstract: Provided is a diagnostic patch system for monitoring and storing patient information, which includes sensors, a data storage unit, and a transceiver. Each of the sensors is attached to a skin to detect a patient data. The data storage unit is configured to store stream of the detected patient data from the plurality of sensors. The transceiver, connected with the sensors and the data storage unit, communicates the stream of the patient data with an analyzer, and the analyzer is configured to process and analyze the stream of the patient data. Two or more diagnostic patch systems can communicate with each other.

Abstract: In a cardioverter/defibrillator system, an electrical circuit includes an energy storage device, an output circuit for controlling delivery of pulse therapy from the energy storage device to a patient, and a sensing circuit coupled across the patient to sense the patient's heart signal. The output circuit may be in the form of an H-bridge switching circuit wherein a pair of switches of the output circuit is simultaneously turned on to discharge residual voltage across the patient that remains after delivery of pulse therapy. Thus, interference with sensing of the patient's heart signal is avoided.

Abstract: A subcutaneous cardiac device includes two electrodes and a stimulator that generates a pulse to the electrodes. The electrodes are implanted between the skin and the rib cage of the patient and are adapted to generate an electric field corresponding to the pulse, the electric field having a substantially uniform voltage gradient as it passes through the heart. The shapes, sizes, positions and structures of the electrodes are selected to optimize the voltage gradient of the electric field, and to minimize the energy dissipated by the electric field outside the heart. More specifically, the electrodes have contact surfaces that contact the patient tissues, said contact surfaces having a total contact area of less than 100 cm2. In one embodiment, one or both electrodes are physically separated from the stimulator. In another embodiment, a unitary housing holds the both electrodes and the stimulator.
