Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to the field of cell stimulation by mechanical energy, in particular by acoustic energy, for example stimulation by ultrasound, such as focused ultrasound (FUS). It relates to treatment devices and components thereof as well as methods for setting up or producing such devices or components. One purpose of the invention is to make devices for cell stimulation by mechanical energy more user friendly and applicable for a wider public and for additional applications. A treatment device for acoustic wave stimulation to a body portion is portable and includes a carrier element, at least one transducer and communication device configured to receive operating parameters for the at least one transducer from a remote computerized device. A method for setting up a treatment device for acoustic wave stimulation includes receiving operating parameters for the at least one transducer from a remote computerized device.
