Abstract
A massage was once considered to be a luxury. However, this has changed in today´s stressful life. Massages are now considered to be pain reliving and therapeutic procedures. There are many different disciplines within massage theory ranging from sports massage to deep tissue massage. The main goal of the project is to emulate the physiological characteristics of massage -i.e. provide to a human body controlled heat, vibration and electric pulses. Described herein is a model of a Smart Massage Patch.
