Lymphex IP Portfolio
Patent the System.
A comprehensive intellectual property strategy covering diagnostics, preventative care, consumer devices, clinical systems, and lifestyle brands — all unified under the lymphex platform.
Platform patents first, then a thicket of continuations, design patents, trade secrets, and trademarks. Build the moat the way Kyphon dominated spine — broad provisional filings, then continuations that make copycats bleed.
Seven Patent Families
Each family represents a distinct patentable domain within the lymphex ecosystem. Broad provisionals filed first, then continuations.
Closed-Loop Wearable Platform
LYMPHEX-WRBComputer-vision-guided wearable system for lymphatic fluid management. Helical actuation, mapping, translation, feedback loop.
LymphRelief Device
LYMPHEX-DEVPolyfaceted head tool for precision lymphatic work. Future: red light, blue light, laser, RF, oxidizing energy. Geometrical attachments for structure/flow.
LymphLens Diagnostic Platform
LYMPHEX-DXNon-invasive visual mapping of lymphatic drainage. AI-based assessment starting with face, then hands/feet/ears. Clinical trial structure.
Hot Helix Method & Apparatus
HELIX-MTHRecessed vibrating plates, infrared light, helix exercise method. Preventative lifestyle brand with studio model.
Diagnostics (Multi-Modal)
LYMPHEX-IMGMRI, CAT, PET, cardiac cath, ultrasound integration for lymphatic assessment. Novel imaging protocols.
Nail & Extremity Products
LYMPHEX-EXTHeel, pinky toe, big toe, 1st/5th ray, calcaneus, earlobe, thumb/pinky, elbow. Consumer wellness devices.
LymphRestore Clinical Device
LYMPHEX-CLNClass II/III medical device for clinical lymphatic restoration. Target: plastics and aesthetics practices.
Computer-Vision-Guided Lymphatic Management
A four-layer system that maps physiological indicators of lymphatic fluid dynamics, translates spatial data into actuation instructions, and drives helical compression elements aligned to anatomical drainage pathways.
Uses computer vision to capture and analyze physiological indicators of lymphatic fluid dynamics. Input modalities include standard RGB imaging, near-infrared imaging, and structured light scanning.
Detects asymmetry between contralateral limbs, identifies regions of swelling or fluid accumulation, and generates a spatial drainage heatmap encoding fluid distribution intensity across anatomical zones.
Lymphatic Prediction via Surface Indicators
Provisional patent filing (LYMPHEX-2026-PROV-001) covering the correlation between hair follicle orientation, fascial tension patterns, and underlying lymphatic drainage pathways.
Surface-to-depth correlation: Method for predicting subsurface lymphatic drainage patterns from observable hair follicle directional data and fascial tension mapping
Non-invasive assessment: System requiring no radiation, contrast agents, or invasive procedures — purely visual and mechanical assessment
Predictive modeling: AI-driven correlation engine that maps surface indicators to validated lymphatic anatomy databases

HOT HELIX™ (hothelix.health) — Currently using TM symbol on live site. Movement method based on spiral mechanics, fluid intelligence, and living architecture. 50-minute infrared heat (105°F) + helical movement protocol. Studio concept with Founding 100 membership model. Recommend formal trademark registration review. Potential overlap with HELIX HEALTH branding also in use on site.
Underlying Science
Key scientific foundations supporting patent claims. Each thread strengthens the non-obviousness and novelty arguments.
LymphRelief — Precision Lymphatic Tool
A handheld device featuring a polyfaceted crystal ball head and ergonomic contour handle, designed for precision lymphatic drainage at specific anatomical points.
The business end features a multi-faceted crystalline geometry that creates multiple contact points simultaneously. Each facet applies differentiated pressure vectors, creating micro-turbulence in subcutaneous fluid layers. The faceted design is fundamentally different from smooth roller/gua sha tools — it creates targeted disruption rather than uniform glide.
LymphLens — Visual Mapping Platform
A non-invasive diagnostic platform that maps lymphatic drainage patterns using visual AI, starting with the face and extending to hands, feet, and ears.
Patient captures standardized photos/video of target areas. AI analyzes skin texture, color variations, puffiness patterns, and vascular visibility to infer underlying lymphatic drainage quality. No radiation, no contrast agents, no invasive procedures.
The system builds a personal lymphatic map over time, tracking changes and correlating with patient-reported outcomes (sleep, diet, exercise, symptoms).
Hot Helix — Preventative Method & Apparatus
A lifestyle brand and exercise method combining infrared heat, helical movement patterns, and recessed vibrating plates for preventative lymphatic health.
A 50-minute protocol performed at 105°F (infrared heat environment) combining spiral/helical body movements with vibration plate engagement. The method is yoga-inspired but science-evolved — each movement is designed to follow lymphatic drainage pathways rather than traditional flexibility/strength goals.
