Compression therapy arrangement and methods for operating and monitoring the same

A compression therapy arrangement comprising:

• a compression garment adapted to exert external pressure on a body portion:
• at least one sensor device associated with the compression garment and having at least one pressure sensor capable of producing at least one pressure signal indicative of the external pressure and a transmitter linked to the at least one sensor device and operable to transmit therapy signals corresponding to the pressure signals to an external device, wherein the external device has a processor operable to process therapy signals and further comprising a converter, wherein the converter includes a display or a speaker, wherein the converter is linked to the processor and is operable to generate a signal corresponding to the external pressure, wherein the signal includes a visual representation, audible representation or a vibrational representation of the external pressure:
• a storage capable of storing pressure data corresponding to a plurality of external pressure values corresponding to a plurality of pressure signals and wherein the display is operable to display a graph representing the pressure data;
• and
• an input device linked to the processor and operable to input external data, including user data, device data, or target data.

A computing device-implemented method, comprising:

• obtaining, by a computing device, an identifier of a compression therapy arrangement, the compression therapy arrangement including a compression garment:
• determining, by the computing device, an operational state of a portion of the compression garment based on the obtained identifier;
• and
• generating, by the computing device, instructions for displaying of an indicator of the determined operational state.

The computing device-implemented method of claim 7574, further comprising:

• based on the obtained identifier, obtaining, by the computing device, at least one range of allowable and/or targeted values for at least one operational parameter of the portion of the compression garment,
• wherein the indicator indicates the obtained at least one range of allowable and/or targeted values, and
• wherein the determining of the operational state includes obtaining, by the computing device, one or more measured values for the at least one operational parameter of the portion of the compression garment and wherein the determining of the operational state includes comparing, by the computing device, the one or more measured values with the at least one range of allowable and/or targeted values,
• wherein the indicator indicates a result of the comparing of the one or more measured values with the at least one range of allowable or targeted values.
