Abstract
A portable customizable smart orthotic for wound care, trauma and critical care. The cranial orthotic includes an exterior shell, with or without an accompanying bladder providing additional cushion to the wound environment. The cranial orthotic is adapted to sense pressures and biometrics associated with the wound environment and as well as heat or cool portions of the wound environment. A communications module accompanies the smart cranial orthotic.
Claims21
A cranial orthotic comprising:
- a) a bladder positioned proximate to a wound environment and fitted to contact a contour of a portion of an inward side of an unfolded collapsible exterior shell of the cranial orthotic;
- the bladder comprising:
- i) a first expansion fluid mixed with a second expansion fluid generating a foam volume and a gas supplying a preselected pressure to the wound environment;
- ii) micropores regulating the volume of the gas inside the bladder;
- and
- iii) a plurality of polymerized beads;
- b) the unfolded collapsible exterior shell comprising:
- i) a plurality of interconnected rotatable sections;
- each rotatable section comprising a first aperture connected to a first tie and a second aperture connected to the second tie such that the plurality of interconnected rotatable sections is collapsible about itself when the cranial orthotic is folded;
- ii) a removable vent providing ventilation for the wound environment and an access to a communications junction;
- and
- iii) one or more ports extending through the exterior shell;
- the one or more ports adapted to transport the expansion fluids to the bladder;
- c) a three dimensional array conforming with the contour of the portion of the inward side of the unfolded collapsible exterior shell and connected to an inward side of the bladder;
- the three dimensional array comprising:
- i) a group of first sensors, wherein the group of first sensors (50) are adapted to sense pressures associated with the wound environment;
- and
- ii) the communications junction comprising a first magnetic field;
- d) a plurality of semiconductors connected to an inward side of the bladder, wherein direction of a current flowing through the plurality of semiconductors heats or cools designated areas of the wound environment;
- e) a communications module, detachable from the communications junction, comprising:
- i) a first face magnetically attracted to the first magnetic field;
- ii) a second face comprising a touchscreen;
- and
- iii) a computer module comprising one or more of the following components:
- a microprocessor, a memory, a graphics unit, an audio unit and a transmitter or a transceiver;
- f) a software:
- i) communicating with the group of first sensors;
- ii) controlling the microprocessor, the memory, the plurality of semiconductors, the graphics unit, the audio unit, the transmitter or the transceiver and graphics projected by the touchscreen, wherein the software controlling the communications module and the computer module is located on the computer module, a Cloud server, a second computer remote from the computer module, or a combination thereof;
- g) the transmitter or the transceiver adapted for wireless communications, via an available wireless cellular network, an IEEE 802.11 protocol and/or a military protocol, with the Cloud server or the second computer remote from the computer module;
- and
- h) a circuitry and a power source.
