Description

Smart neck healthcare system {A SMART NECK HEALTHCARE SYSTEM}

The disclosed content relates to a smart neck healthcare system that is easily worn on the user's neck and is configured to irradiate an LED light source to the entire neck, thereby performing neck health management, neck wrinkle improvement, treatment, and pain relief functions.

Unless otherwise indicated herein, the material described in this section is not prior art to the claims of this application, and is not admitted to be prior art by inclusion in this section.

Recently, as people's interest in beauty has increased, interest in not only cosmetics but also skin care devices that can improve skin condition is also increasing.

Phototherapy for skin care or skin disease treatment uses the principle of promoting biochemical reactions within the skin by irradiating light to the human skin from various light sources such as lasers, fluorescent lamps, and ultraviolet lamps, thereby selectively regenerating or destroying skin tissue. It is used to treat damaged skin or for cosmetic purposes such as whitening.

In particular, unlike high-output laser light sources, light-emitting diode (LED) light sources can irradiate large areas of beauty or treatment areas with a light output suitable for the human body. The light irradiated in this way is the sunlight that penetrates plants through chlorophyll. Similar to the principle of conversion into cells, photobiochemical reactions between skin cells can be induced.

In addition, the light emitting diode (LED) light source is based on photons being received by chromatophores or photoreceptors in cellular tissue and promoting cellular metabolic activity. Light absorbed by cells increases ROS and ATP synthesis in cellular tissue. For example, cells exposed to red light and near-infrared light can release NO, etc., and these released components can be photodegraded and promote enzyme activation.

Many of the above skin care devices are designed to improve wrinkles on the face, but recently, demand for improving wrinkles on the neck skin has been increasing.

Reflecting this demand, a neck skin beauty device has been proposed that places an LED element inside the body of the beauty device and wears it on the neck to remove neck wrinkles.

Accordingly, a neck wrinkle removal device equipped with multiple light emitting diode (LED) light sources is worn. In this case, it activates the overall metabolic activity of cells and can play a significant role in cell regeneration and rehabilitation, thereby reducing collagen and collagen in the skin. It promotes the production of elastin, suppresses the development of wrinkles, and keeps the skin moist and elastic.

However, these conventional beauty devices have the disadvantage of not providing a comfortable fit to the user when worn because the connecting portion surrounding the neck is not smooth.

In addition, conventional beauty devices have low flexibility and freedom of the part surrounding the neck, making it difficult for the user to move the neck, and there is a difference in weight between the part placed in the front of the neck and the part placed in the back of the neck, which makes it difficult for the user to wear the neck when worn. The problem of feeling tired occurs.

In addition, conventional beauty devices have the disadvantage of being large and clunky, making users reluctant to wear them in spaces with large crowds.

Therefore, healthcare products for neck health and wrinkle management are made of flexible materials that do not irritate the skin and are formed with an ergonomic structure, so that they can be worn on necks of various sizes without restrictions on the gender and age of the wearer. It is being developed.

As an example of healthcare for neck health and wrinkle management, Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2021-0012540 (published on February 3, 2021) is easy to wear and effectively reduces neck wrinkles by using light specialized for improving neck wrinkles. A skin-attachable LED patch with enhanced neck wrinkle improvement function is being launched.

In addition, Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2020-0109428 (published on September 23, 2020) is a main body that surrounds the user's neck, and is provided with a plurality of LED lights on the user's neck at regular intervals on the inner surface of the main body. A necklace-type neck wrinkle improvement function including a light emitting unit that irradiates, a humidifier that sprays water vapor through a nozzle provided on the outer surface of the main body opposite the light emitting unit, and a controller that controls the operation of the light emitting unit and the humidifier. A dual-use humidifier is disclosed.

However, as mentioned above, the neck wrinkle and health care healthcare does not include a structure that can be adjusted to allow it to be worn on necks of various sizes without restrictions on the wearer's gender or age, so the problems caused by uncomfortable wearing of the healthcare are not being improved. .
