The object of the invention is a tubular compression garment for monitoring the therapy and physiological activity of the wearer, which belongs to the field of medical devices and can be used, among other things, for the treatment or alleviation of symptoms of various diseases, preferably for the treatment or alleviation of symptoms of venous vasculature in the legs. A tubular compression garment for monitoring the therapy and physiological activity of the person comprises a classic tubular compression garment (20) with an attached stretch-measuring sensor (10) and a sensor-control unit (6) with contacts (4, 11, 12) for connection to the stretch-measuring sensor (10), wherein the sensor-control unit (6) further comprises a motion sensor, a photoplethysmographic sensor, a temperature sensor, and a processing unit with a clock; and wherein a sensor-control unit (6) is detachably secured to the compression garment (20). The sensor-control unit (6) processes the data obtained from the sensors or by real-time calculation, and saves it to the local memory or transmits it simultaneously or occasionally through the communication unit to an external device equipped with a dedicated application that enables the data to be monitored, stored, processed or forwarded.
A tubular compression garment for monitoring the therapy and physiological activity of the person, said tubular compression garment comprising a classic compression garment (20) and a sensor-control unit (6), characterized in that, the compression garment (20) comprises at least one stretch-measuring sensor (10) attached to the compression garment (20), wherein the stretch-measuring sensor (10) is implemented as a strip made of electroactive polymers that change their capacitance during stretch, and the stretch-measuring sensor (10) is attached to the compression garment (20) in a way for measuring the stretch of the compression garment predominantly in the circumferential direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of a part of the body wrapped by the compression garment, wherein the compression garment (20) is provided with a socket (9) for receiving the sensor-control unit (6) and the socket (9) is provided with first contacts (11) for connection with the stretch-measuring sensor (10) and the compression garment (20) is, in the area of the socket (9), provided with a hole (7), and wherein the sensor-control unit (6) is provided with second contacts (4) for connecting to the first contacts (11) made on the socket (9) and wherein the sensor-control unit (6) comprises at least a motion sensor, a photoplethysmographic sensor, a temperature sensor and a processing unit with a clock, and the sensor-control unit (6) is detachably secured to the compression garment (20).
