keeping the hardware simple while moving the "brains" to the cloud:
The current ActiPatch hardware remains a specialized neuromodulation tool, but the "intelligence" is handled externally to keep the device itself cost-effective and lightweight.
The Hardware Remains the Same: The ActiPatch continues to function as a delivery system for electromagnetic signals. It does not need a massive onboard processor; its job is simply to provide the therapy.
AI in the Cloud and Smartphone: The actual "Artificial Intelligence" lives in a paired smartphone app and cloud-based platform. This software processes external data—such as user-reported pain levels, activity tracking from your phone/watch, or sleep patterns.
The Feedback Loop: By analyzing this data, the AI determines the most effective treatment schedule for your specific condition.
Automated Control: Instead of the user guessing when to use it, the software communicates with the device (via a Bluetooth-enabled carrier or "smart pod"
Why This Matters
By moving the intelligence to the Cloud/App level, the system can provide "personalized medicine" without requiring a $500 piece of hardware. The AI simply acts as a smart controller for the proven therapy, ensuring the device is active only when it will provide the most benefit based on the data it receives.
