Smart material based penile stimulation erectile dysfunction assistance device
This invention will allow men suffering from full and periodic erectile dysfunction to achieve, or at least assist in the process of achieving a firm and lasting erection. And, for all men, this device will be able to measure blood-flow to the penis, as well as increase sexual pleasure through micro-electronic stimulation to the penis (induce erection). Blood-flow data captured from devices' internal sensors will be processed by software and presented to users via a smart-phone app to provide useful, actionable, and customizable tasks to improve penile and overall sexual performance, health, and wellness.
