Abstract

This invention is a closed-loop system for human circulatory assistance comprising one or more wearable devices which collect data on a biometric parameter concerning a person's body in real time and one or more implanted circulatory assistance devices whose operation is adjusted in real time based on analysis of the data on the biometric parameter. This system can selectively improve blood circulation, either overall or to selected body regions, in order to prevent tissue degradation, promote wound healing, and maintain proper organ functioning.

Claims (11)

1 . A closed loop system for human circulatory assistance comprising:

a wearable device, wherein the wearable device further comprises a light-energy emitter, a light-energy receiver, a data processor, and a power source; wherein the wearable device collects data on a biometric parameter; and

an implanted cardiac pacemaker; wherein operation of the implanted cardiac pacemaker is controlled and/or adjusted based on analysis of the data on the biometric parameter.

2 . A closed loop system for human circulatory assistance comprising:

a wearable device, wherein the wearable device further comprises a light-energy emitter, a light-energy receiver, a data processor, and a power source; wherein the wearable device collects data on a biometric parameter; and

an implanted central blood pump; wherein operation of the implanted central blood pump is controlled and/or adjusted based on analysis of the data on the biometric parameter.

3 . A closed loop system for human circulatory assistance comprising:

a first wearable device which is worn by a person on a first external location of the person's body; wherein the first wearable device further comprises a first light-energy emitter, a first light-energy receiver, a first data processor, and a first power source; and wherein the first wearable device collects data on a biometric parameter from the first location;

a second wearable device which is worn by the person on a second external location of the person's body; wherein the second wearable device further comprises a second light-energy emitter, a second light-energy receiver, a second data processor, and a second power source; and wherein the second wearable device collects data on the biometric parameter from the second location;

a first implanted non-central blood pump, wherein the first implanted non-central blood pump selectively increases blood flow to the first external location of the person's body based on the value of the biometric parameter at the first external location; and

a second implanted non-central blood pump, wherein the second implanted non-central blood pump selectively increases blood flow to the second external location of the person's body based on the value of the biometric parameter at the second external location.
