Electric inversion table concept makes back therapy more comfortable (and pretty)

Posted on by

If you’ve never seen an inversion table before, you might be shocked when you walk into a room and you see someone lying upside down on this table. It brings some Silence of the Lambs vibes with Hannibal Lecter strapped into a bed, only this table is upside down. But it’s actually a thing that people with back problems do alongside other therapies to treat their back problems without having to resort to surgery. But most of the ones in the market don’t look very comfortable and may even be difficult to operate on your own.

Designer: Eui Ju Lee

This concept for an electric inversion table for Lime, a company that manufactures healthcare equipment, aims to solve those issues. Aside from looking clunky, most of these tables look like they belong in a hospital or a public gym and not your living room. The designer did use exercise equipment as basis for how such a table can fit in your environment but the renders show a much more homey looking device that can rotate in 180 angles to help your back issues.

They also tried to solve some issues that users had with operating inversion tables on their own. The handle is normally attached to the motor but is a bit hard to reach when you’re lying on the table. But with this concept, they put it in a place where it’s easy to reach and turn the inversion table to whatever angle is comfortable and useful for you. And since you’ll be lying on it for a few minutes, it should be pretty comfortable. The backrest is wide enough to make you feel stable and the soft square plate shape is the core visual as shown in the renders.

Compared to existing inversion tables, this one will look at home in your living room and your bedroom as it can blend with the other pieces of furniture. The pastel colors and the shapes of the various parts in the renders also adds to the comfort level of the user. In theory, it should work so the next challenge will be to see if this design, as well as the principles like ankle fixation and rotation can be applied.

Find Your Therapy in Home Farming and Consuming Your Own Produce

In today’s fast-paced world, where life is often synonymous with perpetual motion, the desire to reconnect with nature and savor the fruits of one’s labor is stronger than ever. The concept of home farming, often romanticized for its therapeutic qualities and the satisfaction of producing your food, appeals to many. However, the hurdles of time and resources have long kept this dream at bay for most. But with Regrow, a groundbreaking innovation, the dream of home farming has been brought closer to reality.

Designer: Haneul kim (Designer dot)

Regrow offers a revolutionary experience for those who are intrigued by the idea of home farming but find it challenging to manage the daily responsibilities and investments it typically demands. This innovative system automatically transforms food scraps into fertile soil and showcases your bountiful crops, all while providing a rewarding, environmentally friendly hobby.

In a society where people yearn for the soothing embrace of home farming, the daily grind often obstructs their path. The daily chores of tending to plants, adjusting soil, and monitoring water levels according to the seasons can be burdensome. It’s no wonder that around 60% of those who initially embark on the journey of home farming give up, with the top two reasons being difficulty managing time and the cost of supplies.

Regrow, recognizing the unique place it occupies in the kitchen, draws inspiration from various kitchen appliances. It brings a new dimension to the concept of home farming. With Regrow, users no longer have to fret over the time constraints of home farming in their busy lives. Instead, they can efficiently care for their plants with an array of features designed for convenient operation.

The soil used for cultivating edible plants is primarily recycled compost from food processors. The snug fit of the lid and body keeps unwanted odors from escaping, while the powerful rotation function effectively processes various food scraps. This synergy of recycling and sustainability sets Regrow apart.

Regrow is designed to be user-friendly with just five simple buttons. Users can schedule tasks via the dedicated mobile application for quick use or even operate it remotely. The glass door on the front can be easily opened for harvesting edible plants, making the whole process incredibly convenient.

One of Regrow’s unique features is its hole bottoms, which facilitate the flow of soil and compost. The compost generated by the top food processor automatically moves to the bottom through a rotary grinder. If users prefer to use water instead of compost, they can open the top lid to add water. This combination of features ensures that users can effortlessly maintain their edible plants, promoting their health and sustainability with minimal effort.

Regrow incorporates a bottom LED bar that provides users with invaluable insights into the needs of their edible plants. It changes color to indicate when watering is required, when soil adjustments are necessary when it’s time to clean food waste, or when the system is circulating. This intuitive feedback mechanism ensures that users can take timely and appropriate actions to ensure their plants thrive, enhancing the overall home farming experience.

In conclusion, Regrow offers an all-in-one solution to the common barriers of home farming, making it accessible and enjoyable for everyone. With its innovative technology, sustainable practices, and user-friendly design, it not only simplifies the process of home farming but also promotes a greener, more self-sufficient lifestyle. Regrow brings the joy and fulfillment of home farming within the reach of all, revolutionizing the way we connect with the earth and harvest the goodness it provides.

Headset-like device concept envisions a non-invasive treatment for cross-eyed kids

Posted on by

Some diseases and physical disorders don’t really care whether you’re young or old, but unfortunately, treatment does. You can’t, for example, perform surgery on extremely young or extremely old people, which severely limits what you can do before it gets too late. Some defects like strabismus, more popular under the moniker “crossed eyes,” can become a big problem for adults and a long-lasting emotional wound for kids. Some types of strabismus can, fortunately, be corrected by wearing special types of glasses, but that treatment can be inefficient and costly over time. It doesn’t have to be that way, though, especially if you stretch the design a bit, like this device that looks like a VR headset but is actually a wearable treatment for kids afflicted by this vision disorder.

Designer: Haechan Ryu

There are a few vision disorders that can be corrected by wearing special glasses, particularly ones that use a prism to redirect the way light enters the eyes. For those affected with strabismus, this can help train the eyes until they get back to a more natural position. The problem is that glasses with prisms have fixed angles, and as the wearer’s eyes adjust, the eyeglasses have to be replaced as well. Of course, surgery is out of the question for kids, so a more efficient and cost-effective treatment is needed.

SWP, which is an acronym for Simplicity With Professionalism, tries to offer that solution with a design that might look a little familiar now, even for kids. From the outside, the device is very similar to a virtual reality headset like the Meta Quest or HTC Vive. In fact, it might also be using some of the same designs and mechanisms as a regular headset, particularly with the way two lenses can be adjusted on the fly.

In SWP’s case, there is a motorized prism inside the visor that can adjust the angle to adapt to the severity of the wearer’s strabismus. A dial in front can adjust the spacing of the lens for the eyes while the inner lenses rotate inside to exercise the eyes and correct that angle over time. Rather than replacing the eyeglasses every time the strabismus angle changes, one only needs to change the headset’s settings to continue the treatment.

Making SWP look like a VR headset isn’t accidental, of course. The form offers a more distributed weight balance, so it won’t be too heavy for kids to wear. Of course, it will also be considerably lighter because it has fewer internal components to cram into that small space. It might even make kids feel special for wearing such a device that grownups play with, helping them become more accepting of the treatment that will help correct their vision until it becomes normal again.

Posted on by

We’re all encouraged to keep an active lifestyle to ensure our physical health, but there will always be times when we will feel the strain of activity and exercise on our bodies. It might come from an unfortunate injury, or it could simply be due to natural aging. Not every pain might need medical treatment, but they will definitely need something to alleviate the discomfort and help repair the damage. Thankfully, that doesn’t have to involve expensive services or complicated gadgets, especially with the Move+ medical-grade laser and LED tech from Kineon, formerly known as Reviiv. This wearable device that you can conveniently wrap around your aching knee or any joint for that matter to help your body along its natural healing process.

Designer: Kineon Design Labs

Wearables like smartwatches and fitness bands have become more common these days, especially because of their health-centric benefits. Most smartwatches these days can monitor heart rate and activities, but some also go as far as measuring blood oxygen levels or even blood pressure and ECG. But while these convenient devices that wrap around our wrists can help diagnose potential health problems, they can’t actually act on any injury or pain other than calling emergency services.

Portable Design – Find fast relief whenever and wherever you feel pain and inflammation.

That’s what sets the Kineon Move+ apart from other wearables because it’s able to reduce pain and kick start the natural healing process to repair damaged tissues. Of course, you don’t have to wear it all the time like a smartwatch, and when you do take it off, you can stow it away conveniently in a portable pouch. Put it on and take it off with ease to soothe aching joints and heal your body.

Dual Light Technology – Deeper penetration and faster results to joints, muscles, and other tissue through our exclusive dual-light technology.

Kineon Move+ uses dual light therapy to pull off this almost magical trick. It uses laser therapy to penetrate deep into tissues at a depth of 5-6mm, bringing relief from osteoarthritis and cartilage damage. LED red light therapy, on the other hand, treats cosmetic and surface-level problems around 2mm deep, making it good for reducing inflammation, improving blood circulation, and stimulating collagen production. Together these two lights coming from three connected modules surround your knee to provide relief and accelerate the healing process.

Sniper Like Accuracy – Design allows for pin-point accuracy on problem areas for fast and effective relief.

Despite the advanced science and technology behind it, the Move+ is dead-simple to use and convenient to carry around. You can wrap all three modules around your knee, leg, or arm, and simply relax while it does its trick. Or you could place the unbuckled Move+ over your shoulder, on your back, or even around your head, basically on any part of your body that’s hurting or needs repairs.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, trying to soothe aching muscles after a strenuous exercise, or even simply trying to promote vibrant and healthy skin, the Kineon Move+ has you covered with its advanced light therapy. And when you’re done, you can simply take out the modules, put the modules inside the wireless charging case, and put the portable case in your bag, ready for the next time you’ll need its healing magic.

Reviiv Knee+ works wonders on your aching knees with its dual-light therapy

Posted on by

Relieving knee pain and speeding up recovery has never been easier or more convenient with Reviiv’s Knee+. With a modular design that gets up-close and personal around the areas of discomfort and pain, the Knee+ utilizes both LED and medical-grade lasers emitted by panels right against your skin, held by strong yet comfortable straps. This tag-team of LED and laser light therapy is designed to stimulate blood flow to damaged tissues around your knee, ensuring fast relief from aching knees and improving the rehabilitation of damaged joints.

40% of the world’s population suffers from chronic knee pain, either because of poor lifestyle choices or the curse of genetics, age, and location. Relieving this kind of pain doesn’t have to be a pain either, and the Reviiv Knee+ almost makes it too easy to ease that suffering and even boost recovery in the process.

The Knee+ comes in three parts that can be easily disassembled for packing and travel, using adjustable magnetic straps to secure the light panels around your knee while giving enough flexibility for different knee shapes and sizes. You place these panels directly on top of the pain zones so that they can work their dual-light magic more effectively.

It may look or feel like magic, but the Knee+’s dual-light therapy is based on hard science. Light is an underrated medium of healing by enhancing mitochondrial functions to regenerate damaged cells faster and more effectively. This process of photobiomodulation is behind Reviiv’s miracle, using a tandem of red LED lights at 650nm deep to target surface level cells and a near-infrared laser at 808nm deep to reach deeper into tissues and joints. The device’s fast-acting relief and long-term healing benefits make it perfect for a wide range of people, from athletes resting after a tiring workout to patients recovering from injuries and sprains to just about anyone suffering from chronic joint pains due to different factors. Knee+ is also probably going to be popular with people suffering from arthritis.

Just because it has the word “therapy” in it doesn’t mean you need to drag around a large box to use the Knee+. It was designed with extreme portability in mind and can easily fit inside a gym bag or your bedside drawer. In addition to being adjustable, the modular construction lets you easily take it apart and drop the light panels into the magnetic charging dock both for charging and for safe-keeping. The Knee+ is also so easy to use that you won’t have to worry about asking help from a medical worker to get started. Everything is mostly automatic, including the dosage cycle that Knee+ calibrates for you. Portable, easy-to-use, and costs less than $300, the Reviiv Knee+ will quickly get you back on your feet and on your way to knee relief and recovery without breaking a sweat or the bank.

Packaged into a modular design that straps directly around your knee, the Knee+ takes on a more up-and-close approach by placing the LED and medical-grade laser panels right against your skin for deeper light penetration to your joints and muscle tissue to ensure fast relief and recovery.

Designer: Reviiv Design Labs

Click Here to Buy Now: $269 $499 (46% off). Hurry, exclusive deal for YD readers only! Raised over $430,000.

Packaged in a 3-part design that’s easy to disassemble for portability, and easy to adjust based on your knee shape/size, the Knee+ comes equipped with adjustable magnetic bands (viewers will be quick to notice the prototype uses Apple Watch Nike-edition bands) that let you easily and intuitively wear the device around your knee, targeting the pain-points directly by positioning the light-panels right on top of the pain zones. 2 in 5 people suffer from chronic knee pain in their life either because of an over or underactive lifestyle (age, location, and bad genetics all play a role too), and the Knee+ helps relieve that pain while also boosting recovery.

The Knee+ uses dual-light therapy, relying on 650nm deep red LED lights to work on the surface level, and 808nm near-infrared laser lights to travel deep into your tissues and joints for better internal healing.

Back in January, we got to meet a smaller, more portable version of the Qoobo cat tail pillow, which is aptly named Petit Qoobo. I’m sure I’m not the only sucker for this sort of bizarre cute gadget, but much like its sibling, this tail-wagging robot...
