Nowadays, the embedded Bluetooth Low Energy technology has upgraded the traditional pelvic floor muscle repair instrument from a single mode to an intelligent closed-loop mode with physical exercise, intelligent feedback, and nursing upgrade, which makes the BLE version device become the optimal solution for pelvic floor muscle repair.

Maybe you are wondering what pelvic floor muscles are, how the kind of pelvic floor muscle repair instrument is born, and how the repair instrument with the BLE module works. Follow the article you will find the answers.

What Are Pelvic Floor Muscles?

They are a group of muscles located at the bottom of the pelvic cavity, responsible for supporting organs in the pelvic cavity (such as the uterus, bladder, and rectum) and controlling the emptying of the bladder and rectum.

How Does Pelvic Floor Muscle Recovery Instrument Come into Birth and Develop?

The pelvic floor muscles may become relaxed due to pregnancy, childbirth, and age, leading to health problems such as urinary incontinence and pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. What's more, more and more postpartum mothers are caring about all aspects of their bodies. Then, pelvic floor muscle recovery is gradually coming to the public's attention and has emerged to address those issues listed. It helps to exercise pelvic floor muscles to prevent relevant diseases, improve functional disorders, and make pelvic floor muscle training scientific and systematic.

With the development of Bluetooth Low Energy technology, the pelvic floor muscle repair instrument with the BLE module has become the optimal solution for postpartum mothers due to its evolution from a single mode to an intelligent closed-loop mode with physical exercise, intelligent feedback, and nursing upgrade.

How Does the Pelvic Floor Muscle Repair Instrument Embedded BLE Module Work?

The pelvic floor muscle repair instrument embedded Bluetooth low energy module mainly uses electromagnetic waves to help the release, relaxation, and contraction of the pelvic floor muscles, thereby achieving the goal of strengthening pelvic floor muscles. It is to activate the relevant muscles into different functional states by emitting waves on different frequencies.

For example, using a 1 HZ wave can reduce the strength of the perineal muscles and relax them, usually by relaxing the superficial muscles. The alternating usage of 10 HZ and 50 HZ is used to strengthen pelvic floor muscle and improve the level of fast twitch fibers. Targeted electromagnetic wave discharge stimulates neurons and muscle cells in the pelvic floor, which promotes the activity of muscle fibers and generates associated reactions with the bladder, rectum, and other organs during the activation process, thus, forming effective synergistic functional optimization.

By embedding a BLE module in the pelvic floor repair instrument, it can be interconnected with smartphones. Users can monitor the working status and electromagnetic stimulation output status in real time through the APP. When an abnormality is detected, the APP will stop the physical therapy operation and prominently inform the user of the abnormal cases and solutions, protecting their safety and preventing accidents. It can also follow and record the rehabilitation process in real-time, and help users better track and plan their exercises. The wireless connectivity by Bluetooth modules can also ensure secure communication between devices and applications to protect user privacy. The repair instrument manufacturers or physical therapy service providers can also offer personalized guidance to users through APPs by Bluetooth technology and help them better exercise and recover fastly and effectively.

Which BLE Modules Do Fit for Home Medical Devices?

As a leading supplier of BLE modules, RF-star has supported several mainstream postpartum repair instrument manufacturers to develop their advanced products, accumulating a great deal of practical experience and technology in medical applications. RF-star’s RF-BM-ND08C(nRF52810), RF-BM-BG22A1(EFR32BG22), and the newly released RF-BM-2340B1(CC2340) are recommended from a rich BLE module series. The following is a brief introduction to RF-BM-2340B1:

The RF-BM-2340Bx series are 2.4 GHz ultra-low power wireless modules based on the TI CC2340R5 SoC. They adopt an efficient 48 MHz ARM® Cortex®- M0+ processor with up to 512 KB of Flash and 36 KB of RAM, up to +8 dBm TX power, supporting Bluetooth® 5.3 Low Energy, ZigBee, SimpleLink™ TI 15.4-stack and 2.4 GHz proprietary. The standby current of less than 710 nA is approximately 40% lower than the market average, which can extend coin battery life to about ten years. And the integrated RF Balun achieves a simple design with fewer external components, thereby reducing module costs. The high performance, ultra-low power consumption, and high cost-effectiveness make it an ideal choice for pelvic floor muscle recovery applications that focus on battery life, simplicity, and practicality. Besides, the UART serial port protocol enables the CC2340R5 BLE modules to be quickly embedded into the terminal applications. The rich AT commands make CC2340 modules compatible with many master devices and easy for APP development.
