A soft pressure-sensitive skin to measure
lymphoedema treatment efficiency.
In Collaboration with: Dr Samuel Rosset,
Dr Masoumeh HesamMahmoudinezhad
With support from The University of Auckland, The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment
Duration: 2023
Purpose:
This project aims to develop and test a soft distributed sensing layer to be integrated into an intermittent pneumatic compression suit for the improvement of lymph circulation and the treatment of lymphoedema. The soft sensor will make it possible to measure the effective pressure applied on the skin and to tailor the treatment to the patient. A small-scale clinical trial will be demonstrate the efficiency of the approach.
