Abstract: Embodiments described herein include a controller (22). The controller includes at least one interface (62) that couples the controller to stimulation circuitry (24), which includes a pair of electrodes (26a, 26b), and to measuring circuitry, and further includes controller circuitry (64). While the electrodes are coupled to skin (60) of a subject, the controller circuitry, via the interface, drives the stimulation circuitry to (i) pass a plurality of stimulating pulses (32) between the electrodes, and (ii) pass one or more reference pulses (34) between the electrodes, the reference pulses being different from each of the stimulating pulses. The controller receives, from the measuring circuitry, an impedance between the electrodes that is measured using the reference pulses. In response to the impedance measured using the reference pulses, but not in response to any impedance measured using the stimulating pulses, the controller circuitry controls the stimulation procedure. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: A method is provided that includes coupling a plurality of electrodes to skin of a subject caudally to a neck of the subject, such that the electrodes are spread over a plurality of dermatomes. Using a computer processor, in response to the subject experiencing a headache, without using any element that is implanted in the subject, and without using any element that penetrates skin of the subject, the headache is treated by transcutaneously stimulating the subject, by applying an electrical current to the skin, via the electrodes. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: A system is provided that includes a patch, which includes a plurality of electrodes and is configured to be coupled to a subject. A mobile device includes a computer processor configured to receive, from a remote server, stimulation parameters derived from processing by the remote server of results from electrostimulation treatment of headaches of a plurality of other subjects; receive an input from a subject; and, in response to the input, while the patch is coupled to the subject, wirelessly communicate a control signal that causes the electrodes to apply stimulation to the subject using the received stimulation parameters as default stimulation parameters for the stimulation. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: A multi-sensing system (20) includes multiple sensor units (28) that include respective sensors (44), (ii) are connected to one another in a cascade using serial data lines (32), and (iii) are connected to a common clock line (36) and to a common alignment line (40). The sensor units are configured to selectably communicate in accordance with first and second different serial communication protocols using the same serial data lines, clock line and alignment line. A host (24) is configured to communicate with the sensor units, including reading the sensors and instructing the sensor units to switch between the first and second serial communication protocols.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described including a system for electrostimulation. The system includes a patch (22), including a plurality of electrodes (24a, 24b), and a mobile device (28). A processor (30) of the mobile device is configured to receive an input from a subject (20) that indicates that the subject is experiencing a headache, and, in response to the input, while the patch is coupled to the subject, wirelessly communicate a control signal that causes the electrodes to stimulate the subject. Other embodiments are also described.
