Abstract
A wearable device for stimulating selected body organs by sensitizing selected corresponding areas on a sole of a person foot, ankle, shin, calf and/or hand according to reflexology mapping or area of the body organ that interfaces outer skin. The device includes mainly vibration mechanism that may be programmed according to selected vibration modes and generate sensitization in the selected area(s), PCB that controls the operation of the vibration mechanism, RF antenna accommodated within the wearable housing, and RF remote control that is wearable on another body part, and comfortably accessible to the person that wears the device. The device is configured to stimulate or inhibit activity in different body organs as brains, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, alimentary tract, gallbladder, urinary tract, sexual organs, muscles and skeleton of men and women, and may be worn and operate during activity. The wearable housing of the device is elastic and may be in the form of compression sleeve, pants, shorts, band or strip that assist in inducing intra-muscular activity together with the vibration modes.
