Abstract
Systems and methods for applying a pulsed electromagnetic fields. A system for applying a pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) to a cell, comprising: a sensor for obtaining a characteristic of the cell; a memory module having stored therein a plurality of characteristics and PEMF efficacy window data, each characteristic having its corresponding PEMF efficacy window data; a pulse generator coupled to a set of PEMF coils and configured to generate an output of electrical pulses to drive the set of PEMF coils; and a controller in communication with the sensor, the memory module and the pulse generator, wherein the controller is configured to: retrieve, from the memory module, the PEMF efficacy window data that corresponds to the characteristic of the cell obtained by the sensor; and control the output of the pulse generator based on the retrieved PEMF efficacy window data such that the set of PEMF coils apply a PEMF in accordance with the PEMF efficacy window data.
