This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,857,784.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

An improved stimulus treatment system that integrates thermal stimulus application, blood flow measurement, and data analysis to provide personalized treatment recommendations and optimize treatment outcomes.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent, 'Method for conducting stimulus treatment,' had limitations in evaluating the effectiveness of thermal stimulus treatments. The new inventive concept addresses this limitation by incorporating real-time blood flow analysis, enabling more accurate assessment of treatment outcomes and personalized recommendations.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The enhanced system comprises a thermal stimulus apparatus, a laser Doppler tissue blood flowmeter, and a data analysis module. The thermal stimulus apparatus applies thermal stimulus to a specific site on the skin surface, while the laser Doppler tissue blood flowmeter measures blood flow before and after the application. The data analysis module analyzes the blood flow data and recognizes the effect of thermal stimulus when the increase rate of blood flow reaches a predetermined threshold value. The system provides personalized treatment recommendations based on the analyzed data, optimizing treatment outcomes.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce the integration of real-time blood flow analysis and data-driven treatment recommendations, which is not present in the original patent. This integration enables more accurate assessment of treatment outcomes and personalized treatment planning, thereby improving the overall effectiveness of stimulus treatments.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept could include the use of different blood flow measurement techniques, such as ultrasound or impedance plethysmography. Additionally, the system could be adapted for use in various medical conditions, such as chronic pain management or wound healing.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The enhanced stimulus treatment system has significant commercial potential in the healthcare industry, particularly in the areas of pain management, physical therapy, and rehabilitation. The system's ability to provide personalized treatment recommendations and optimize treatment outcomes could lead to improved patient outcomes, reduced healthcare costs, and increased market share for healthcare providers and medical device manufacturers.
