The project has reviewed previous researches of biological effects and sorted them by frequency and applications. Through the history of bioeletromagnetism, the medical applications of electromagnetic field now are diagnosis, radiation treatment and bioelectromagnetic therapy. Diagnosis and radiation treatment use high energy radiation. The technology help doctors find where the cancer cells are and kill them by a machine outside the body deliver the radiation, or placing a radioactive material in the body near the cancer cells. However the radiation therapy kills not only the cancer cells but also the normal cells, leading to side effects. Bioelectromagnetic therapy is used to treat and prevent disease and promote health and longevity by employing the electromagnetic field. This project proposes a method of the brain therapy using radio wave and designs the prototype for the method. Using the modulating technique make the designed waveform transmitted through the antenna to improve the health of the people who suffered the sleep disorders. The effect of the bioelectromagnetic therapy based on the method should be researched through the laboratory experiments or clinical trails.
