ABSTRACT:
An improved apparatus for inhibiting self-injurious behavior (SIB) in patients includes a stimulus module for generating and applying an aversive electrical stimulation to the patient's skin and a sensor module and/or remote actuator for actuating the stimulus module in response to a patient's self-injurious behavior. The apparatus uses a near field magnetic link to transmit a coded signal from a sensor module or from a remote actuator to the stimulus module worn on the patient. The stimulus module uses a unique flyback circuit design and the electrical stimulation is tuned to achieve a maximum physiological response with minimal power drain.
