METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GROUP MAGNETIC THERAPY Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A61N2/00 

FIELD: medical equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment, namely, to means of conducting physiotherapy procedures using the magnetic field as an impacting factor. In group magnetic therapy, several patients are subjected to simultaneous impact of the magnetic field, wherein an individual configuration of the field is formed for each patient. The solution is aimed at increasing the throughput capacity of the physiotherapy room wherein the equipment is to be used, increasing the amount of spatiotemporal configurations of the affecting field required to treat a specific patient. The central module consists of an I/O terminal, a central control unit, and an interface unit. The magnetic therapy cells (MTC) consist of a local control unit, a local interface module, a memory unit, an identification unit, a power coupling unit, an inductor unit, a monitoring unit. The method consists in spatially arranging the cells for each patient depending on the required impact, generating a single file on the magnetic therapy technique, the parameters whereof are adjusted on the basis of the location of the MTC and the required nature of the impact, assigning a group address to the MTC, recording the contents of the techniques in the memory of the MTC, starting magnetic therapy using the start command indicating the group address of the technique, independently generating the affecting magnetic field for each MTC, and conducting a periodic survey of the state of each MTC by the central control unit.

EFFECT: provided individual magnetic therapy for multiple patients.
