Abstract: A medical system worn by an individual comprising in certain embodiments a central processing unit, a memory unit containing programming and diagnostic values, a global positioning system unit, a wireless communications component, at least one physiologic sensor, and at least one medicament administration device containing at least one active pharmaceutical ingredient.

Abstract: A transdermal drug delivery system having at least one patch (20) with an electrosmotic, electro porous membrane (26) comprised of an inert biochemical substance which becomes actively electro-osmotic when an electric charge is passed through the membrane enabling a drug solution passing through to a skin surface to create an electroporative effect. The patch may be powered by a battery, an external power source (82), or self-powered by an auto-bio-fuel cell which acts as a battery during drug solution saturation. Multiple patches may be configured as a linked patch unit for use with a flexible cuff apparatus (70) to provide circumferential treatment of a body part. A network of supply tubes (66) may be connected to an external reservoir (68) to provide a slow supply of medicated fluid to each patch. A titration regulator (72) is in communication with the transdermal patch to regulate permanent flow to the skin.

Abstract: A transdermal magnetic drug delivery system and method which can deliver, via a novel electrode design, multiple drugs in a controlled manner using a variety of methods including magnetophoreris, iontophoresis, sonophoresis, photophoresis and others. The combined use of these methods not only enhances transport but also allows for the optimum parameters for drug delivery to be realized. The drugs may be manipulated, tagged or doped with a magnetic carrire to increase their susceptibility to magnetophoresis and to provide a method for tracking their absorption in conjunction with biosensing.

Abstract: A magnetotherapy apparatus includes an applicator wrap segmented into a grid of hinged panels. The wrap is adapted to be placed around an injured body member to provide a brace or preform for a conventional cast. Each of the panels further includes a magnetic coil for generating an electromagnetic field directionally oriented perpendicular to a target area. The magnetic fields generated in the adjacent panels are of opposite polarity and cumulatively interact for deeper magnetic flux penetration. An electrostimulation component includes stimulator pads which are selectively energized to provide muscle and/or transcutaneous nerve stimulation for pain sedation. Alternatively, the stimulator pads are used for an electrophoretic pharmaceutical delivery system wherein electrically charged porous pads are in fluid communication with a drug medium.
