Project Overview

Externally applied pressure can be used to facilitate blood circulation and relieve congestion of soft tissues. This technique has been used for people with circulatory impairment as well as during the milking process for animals. This project explores optimal strategies for congestive relief using bio-physical principles. Strategies currently being focused upon include combinations of pressure levels and temporal schemes. Other interest includes finding methods to quantify congestion.
