Orthopaedic brace with EKG and HRV sensor for measuring compliance
This project has been secured to protect intellectual property.
Login for More InformationCreating an orthopaedic brace for children with scoliosis that can be hooked up to EKG and HRV devices to monitor their bodily vitals throughout the use of the device.
Project Overview
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis affects 2–3% of teens, and wearing a brace longer reduces the need for surgery but can be an uncomfortable process. Current compliance monitors, like temperature and pressure sensors, aren’t always accurate and don’t track comfort. We need a better solution such as an easy-to-use EKG and HRV sensor that improves tracking and gives real insight into how patients feel while wearing their brace.
