Customized interwoven wearable with sensor positioning

Abstract

One embodiment relates to an orthopedic precast featuring sensors to detect certain a condition of the patient and usage of an orthosis produced from the orthopedic precast. The orthopedic precast features (i) a first portion including a first plurality of interwoven strands of a first thermoplastic material, (ii) a second portion coupled to the first plurality of interwoven strands of the first thermoplastic material, and (iii) one or more sensors. The first thermoplastic material has a first melting temperature. Responsive to applying heat of at least the first melting temperature to the first portion to cause partial melting of interwoven strands of the first thermoplastic material and subsequent cooling thereafter, the interwoven strands of the first thermoplastic material transition from a flexible state to a rigid state to create one or more recessed area for receipt of the one or more sensors.
