This paper delves deeply into the innovative realm of integrating human emotions with wearable technology. The primary focus is on the conceptualization and development of a kiss transfer device that harnesses the power of wearable technology to bridge the physical gap in human-human interactions. By investigating the intricate nuances of the human-human kissing process, the research seeks to replicate this intimate gesture through a technological medium. The paper not only elaborates on the anatomy, evolution, and hormonal dynamics of kissing but also underscores the transformative potential of wearable technology in capturing and transmitting these intimate moments. This exploration opens up new horizons for long-distance relationships, offering a tangible touchpoint that goes beyond traditional communication methods. Through this pioneering work, the research positions wearable technology as not just a tool for communication but as an extension of our human emotions and expressions.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the clinical effect of wearable low back trainer combined with massage in the treatment of chronic non-specific low back pain. Methods: A total of 56 chronic nonspecific low back pain patients were randomly assigned to three groups. The ob group (n=19) was treated with wearable device treatments based on massage for two weeks, once a day, eight minutes each time, five times a week, while the control group (n=19) received massage only for two weeks, once a day, 20 minutes each time, and the blank group (n=18) rest only with closely observation. The therapeutic effect of three groups were evaluated by VAS and ODI scores before the treatment, one week after treatment and two weeks after treatment respectively. Results: There was no significant difference in the VAS score between the observation group and the control group before treatment (P>0.05) while the VAS score difference between the three groups after one week and two weeks of treatment were statistically significant (P<0.05). The VAS scores of the observation group and the control group showed a downward trend with time. After 2 weeks of treatment, the VAS value of the observation group decreased significantly more than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The decrease of VAS value in the group was significantly greater than that in the blank group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the ODI score between the observation group and the control group before treatment and after 1 week of treatment (P>0.05). However, there was a statistically significant difference in the ODI score between the three groups after 2 weeks of treatment (P<0.05). The changing trends of ODI values in the three groups were different and both the observation group and the control group showed a downward trend. After two weeks of treatment, the ODI values of the observation group decreased significantly more than the control group with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). However, the ODI value of the blank group decreased after 1 week of treatment and increased again after two weeks of treatment. Conclusion: The use of the wearable low back trainer combined with massage therapy has a better therapeutic effect on chronic non-specific low back pain and can relieve pain more effectively than just simple massage therapy alone.
