Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are provided for delivering energy impulses (and/or fields) to bodily tissues for therapeutic purposes. A method for stimulating a nerve within a patient comprises detecting a target location on an outer skin surface of the patient adjacent to, near, or overlying, a selected nerve and positioning an electrode in contact with the outer skin surface at, or near, the target location. An electrical impulse is then applied from the electrode transcutaneously through the outer skin surface of the patient to the selected nerve to modulate the nerve. Detecting the target location of the underlying nerve allows the patient to position the nerve stimulator in the optimal position for stimulating the nerve.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are provided for delivering energy impulses (and/or fields) to bodily tissues for therapeutic purposes. A system for stimulating a nerve within a patient comprises a stimulator having an electrode configured for contacting the outer skin surface at, or near the target location and an energy source coupled to the stimulator, The energy source is configured to generate at least one electrical impulse and to transmit the electrical impulse transcutaneously from the electrode through the outer skin surface of the patient to a selected nerve in the patient adjacent to, or near, the target location. The system further comprises a software application configured for downloading onto a user interface. The software application controls parameters of the stimulator, which may be based on a physiological parameter of the patient and/or user status information related to the effectiveness of the therapy.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are provided for stimulating one or more nerves within a user. A system comprises stimulator having an electrode configured for contacting the outer skin surface at a target location and an energy source coupled to the stimulator, The energy source is configured to generate at least one electrical impulse and to transmit the electrical impulse transcutaneously from the electrode through the outer skin surface of the user to a selected nerve in the user. In certain aspects, the systems and methods are particularly useful for non-medical purposes, such as reducing stress and anxiety, enhancing relaxation, improving sleep, energy, concentration and mood, increasing mental or physical performance, promoting mental health, recovery and wellness, generally improving the health and wellbeing of a user and/or for temporarily or permanently improving intelligence, learning capacity, memory retention, recall, mood, alertness and/or sleep efficiency in human beings.
