Abstract
Unlike chemotherapy, physical stimulation is body-friendly method which does not introduce foreign substances into the human body; however, since the use of the separate power source is dominant, there are forced restrictions. Herein, we report an innovative electrical stimulation method using the body-mediated energy loss conversion (BELC) system. The BELC system is a structure-concept-device that concentrates a local electric field in the desired area by utilizing energy loss from body movement as a power source; and the human body as an energy transfer medium. Concentrated electrical energy in the BELC system induces a low-frequency electric field that vitalizes the cell functions locally. Results from 3D simulation, designed cloth (patch, sleeve, athleisure) containing the BELC system and ex-vivo experiments demonstrate the electric field concentration through the human body without additional electrical components. Vitalization of cells and skins by the BELC system was inspected via in-vitro and in-vivo model; and insignificant side-effects of energy transfer pass-through mouse body were investigated.
