  • Publication number: 20210205169
    Abstract: A device for providing noninvasive electrical stimulation of a single acupuncture site for treatment of nausea with capacitor-based voltage regulated circuitry is disclosed. The device is made up of a wristwatch-like housing adapted to be worn on a human wrist. A band attaches the device to the ventral side of the wrist, positioned over the P6 acupuncture point. The device contains a power supply, electrical circuity and at least two electrodes mounted to the inner face of the device, positioned in electrically conductive contact with the mist, which deliver electrostimulation to the P6 point. Within the electrical circuitry is a voltage boost regulator, which limits the output voltage of the device to 30 Volts. This is done to prevent uncomfortable electric shock to the user when the electrodes do not make sufficient contact with the user's skin.
