Definitions

  • the invention relates to a couplable device for the thermal-medical treatment of skin, in particular in the case of skin irritations or minor injuries as can be induced, for example, by insect bites or plants.
  • a device for the local thermal treatment of insect bites is already known in this context from EP 1 231 875 B1, which is capable of acting on the affected skin region using a heat treatment.
  • this device is equipped with a heating element, which is embodied as an electrical heating plate and is powered by a voltage source (not specified in greater detail).
  • the temperature of the heating plate is limited to a highest temperature of 50-65°, preferably of 55° to 60°, to avoid possible burns.
  • this temperature is only maintained for a time frame of a few seconds.
  • the heating element is provided with a temperature sensor and with a control unit in order to control the corresponding heat treatment, in particular the temperature used and the duration of the mentioned treatment according to the above-explained specifications. In practice, however, it is rather impractical to carry along a heating plate in conjunction with outdoor activities.
  • a method for treating dry eyes is known from US 2017/0079834 A1, in which heatable strips are applied above and below the human eye, which are each connected via current-conducting cables to a programmable control unit, which controls the further treatment of the mentioned eye parts.
  • This control unit is additionally connected to a portable electronic device, for example, a smart phone or a tablet.
  • the power supply of the heatable strips is performed, however, via the control unit, so that a suitable energy accumulator also has to be integrated into this control unit.
  • a portable device for treating external boils, i.e., swelling of the human body is previously known from WO 2015/1909397 A1, which also teaches acting on the affected body parts using heated strips or compresses.
  • a heat treatment is also carried out here, wherein it is also expected here of the user that he carries along a comparatively voluminous portable unit for the case of a corresponding injury to be able to treat the mentioned body swelling in an emergency.
  • a portable item of clothing is known from US 2017/017 2227, in particular for clothing the upper body, in which so-called micro-tubes are incorporated, wherein each of these tubes is provided with an inlet and an outlet, so that it is possible to conduct heated or cooled air through these micro-tubes to provide cooling or heating to the user.
  • this piece of clothing is provided with an environmental sensor for detecting the ambient temperature, so that an automatic regulation is possible in dependence on the ambient temperature and the presets presumably selected by the user. This thus relates to a temperature control of the human body, in particular the upper body, but not to a treatment of possible skin irritations.
  • devices are already known which can alleviate the itching and the swelling of insect bites in a targeted manner by means of concentrated heat and a micro-electrical controller (EP 1231875, CN102429762A, U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,537,605B2, 7,637,930B2, DE202012100037, DE202014104077U1, WO2007/082648, DE 000019954424 A1). All above devices share the feature that they function independently and are provided with a housing which is also required for handling the previously known devices during the heat treatment. None of the cited devices is Internet-capable or otherwise networked.
  • the invention is based on the object of providing a portable device, which can be carried along easily in a space-saving and weight-saving manner and rapidly provides an initial alleviation or even a complete remedy in conjunction with the mentioned skin irritations.
  • the invention relates to a portable device for the thermal-medical treatment of the skin, as is performed, for example, in conjunction with insect bites or other skin irritations.
  • the device according to the invention essentially consists of a small-format treatment attachment, which is only a few centimeters wide and long and can thus be carried along without problems in the trouser pocket, for example.
  • the treatment attachment essentially consists of a housing and is equipped on the lower side with an interface for coupling to a mobile data processing unit.
  • the treatment attachment both has a data connection to the mobile data processing unit and also is supplied with electrical energy via this interface. Due to the external power supply, the energy accumulator typically integrated into the mobile data processing unit can be used to energize a suitably arranged heating element. The surface thus heated can be placed by corresponding handling of the connected data processing unit onto the skin surface to be treated, so that it is subjected to a heat treatment in a preferred range between 50° and 65°.
  • This thermal treatment is used to alleviate the itching and for a more favorable course of healing, relating to the treatment of insect bites, snake venom, or urticants, as are transferred, for example, from plants or animals, such as jellyfish.
  • the device according to the invention can additionally be used for treating herpes or other skin diseases.
  • introduced toxicants are decomposed and the healing process is accelerated as a whole by the heat treatment.
  • the course of treatment can be displayed and followed on the data processing unit via the data connection.
  • the risk of possible infections for example, as a result of insect bites or tick bites, is also reduced in this way.
  • the handling of the small-format treatment attachment is facilitated in that the typically larger-area data processing unit can be used to place the treatment attachment as intended on the skin part to be treated.
  • a heating element which is generally implemented by a resistor which heats up upon energizing, is arranged in the housing of the treatment attachment directly below the surface of the treatment attachment facing away from the data processing unit in the coupled state.
  • a temperature sensor via which the ambient temperature of the resistor is detected, is arranged directly adjacent to this heating element.
  • the temperature sensor has a data connection via the interface to the mobile data processing unit, so that the temperature of the resistor can be controlled and/or regulated via suitable software.
  • both the mentioned heating element and also the temperature sensor are connected to the mobile data processing unit via the above-mentioned interface with a microcontroller interconnected.
  • the control or regulation of the temperature of the resistor is performed in this case via the mentioned microcontroller and therefore if necessary independently of the mobile data processing unit.
  • the heating element and the temperature sensor can be combined in a single component.
  • the interface is used not only for the power supply of the resistor employed for the heat treatment, but rather also for the data connection to the mobile data processing unit. In this way, further items of information, for example, relating to the course of treatment, can be transmitted to the data processing unit and stored therein.
  • the obtained data can also be used to obtain items of information about potential insect plagues, and also the spread of insects or illnesses.
  • the treatment attachment itself can also already be provided with a small energy accumulator, so that the treatment attachment as such is usable for an at least initial alleviating treatment if necessary, for example, if a data processing unit is not available or the data processing unit is not itself functional. Under these circumstances, the treatment attachment can optionally also be used as a stand-alone device.
  • the data obtained in conjunction with this treatment can be transmitted, for example, wirelessly via the microcontroller, i.e., for example, via Bluetooth, to the data processing unit.
  • the interface is provided with the conventional connectors for connection to typical data processing units, i.e., for example, a lightning or USB connector.
  • typical data processing units i.e., for example, a lightning or USB connector.
  • a wireless connection is also possible, for example, via Bluetooth or induction.
  • the attachment is thus usable in conjunction with all commercially available mobile data processing units.
  • the invention is embodied as water-resistant or even watertight to enable the usage under difficult circumstances, i.e., for example, in rain, and hygienic cleaning.
  • the mobile data processing unit is equipped with software, which can be used for operating and controlling the treatment attachment.
  • the user can store individual parameters, such as an application case, affected body region, age, sensitivity, or relevant illnesses in the software, so that the treatment can be controlled and/or regulated in consideration of these parameters.
  • the software can be used to make an emergency call in conjunction with a location specification, for example, upon the occurrence of defined events, i.e., for example, if no further activity or movement of the user of the device according to the invention can be established after a defined time after the treatment.
  • FIG. 1 shows a treatment attachment in a cross-sectional view
  • FIG. 2 shows a mobile data processing unit having connected treatment attachment
  • FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of the function of the treatment attachment according to FIG. 1 .
  • the treatment attachment 8 comprises a housing 6 , under which an interface 5 extends for connection to a mobile data processing unit 7 (not shown in this figure).
  • a heating element 2 in the immediate vicinity of which a temperature sensor 3 is additionally arranged, is arranged inside the housing 6 directly below the surface of the housing 6 facing away from the interface 5 .
  • the heating element 2 is energized, the surface of the housing 6 facing away from the interface 5 is accordingly heated, so that a heat treatment is executable using this heated section of the surface of the housing 6 .
  • the power supply of the heating element 2 takes place via an electrically conductive connection, which is connected by the interface 5 to the heating element 2 with a microcontroller 9 interconnected.
  • FIG. 2 shows the treatment attachment 12 illustrated in FIG. 1 in direct contact with the mobile data processing unit 7 , specifically in which the interface 5 is completely inserted into a suitable connector opening, i.e., for example, a lightning or USB connector of the mobile data processing unit 7 , so that the treatment attachment 12 is directly connected to the data processing unit 7 .
  • a suitable connector opening i.e., for example, a lightning or USB connector of the mobile data processing unit 7
  • the power and data supply of the heating element 2 and the microcontroller 4 and also of the temperature sensor 3 associated with the heating element, takes place via the interface 5 .
  • the treatment attachment 12 protrudes only slightly beyond the data processing unit 7 in the coupled position, so that, for the treatment of a skin irritation, the mobile data processing unit 7 is used at the same time for handling the treatment attachment 12 , i.e., predominantly for the purpose of placing the surface of the treatment attachment 12 facing away from the mobile data processing unit 7 on the affected skin part for the purpose of the heat treatment.
  • FIG. 3 shows a block diagram in simplified form, relating to the circuit arranged inside the treatment attachment 12 .
  • this circuit shows that, via the interface 5 , the circuit arranged in the housing is connected to the connected data processing unit 7 via a power supply 10 , and via a data line 11 to the data processing unit 7 .
  • the heating element 2 is a resistor. Both the temperature sensor 3 and also the heating element 2 are connected to the data processing unit 7 in this case with a microcontroller 9 interconnected.
  • a mobile application i.e., in particular an app, which primarily permits the heating procedure to be started and suitable parameters to be specified, is installed on the data processing unit 7 .
  • the heating element 2 is then activated in dependence on these settings, wherein the procedure is controlled via the microcontroller 9 , which moreover transmits defined data for visualizing and monitoring the treatment procedure to the mobile application installed on the data processing unit 7 .
  • the microcontroller 9 is typically implemented as a component of the control unit 4 , wherein the control unit 4 is typically additionally provided with a transistor circuit for the power regulation of the heating element.
  • reaching a predetermined temperature or ending the treatment procedure can be transmitted to the data processing unit 7 .
  • the temperature sensor which is also integrated into the housing 6 consists in one advantageous design of two sensors which are not thermally coupled to one another, wherein one sensor measures the temperature of the heating element, while the second sensor detects the skin temperature.
  • the healing process can be accurately monitored and controlled on the basis of this arrangement.
  • connection of the treatment attachment 12 to the mobile data processing unit in particular in conjunction with the mobile application which is also installed on the data processing unit 7 , enables the treatment procedure to be improved in that the mobile application is firstly equipped with data by the user himself, for example, relating to the health state of the user, which can then also be taken into consideration during the application of the treatment attachment 12 .
  • the monitoring of the treatment process by the mobile application can also be used to make an emergency call if necessary, specifically, the parameters stored in the control unit 4 would be met, for example, if no further movement of the user occurs or other parameters make an emergency situation probable. In these cases, an emergency call with specification of the potential location of the user can be placed automatically via the mobile application.
  • a portable device for the treatment of skin irritations or small injuries, such as insect bites, effects of stinging plants or cnidarians, is thus described above, which is designed in a very small format and can therefore be carried along easily. Only a connector on a mobile data processing unit, which is typically currently carried along by everyone, is required to use the treatment attachment 12 .
