Abstract
The present invention relates to 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 transmitter means linked to the at least one sensor device and operable to transmit therapy signals corresponding to the pressure signals to an external device. The present invention also relates to methods for monitoring the compression therapy arrangement as well as a corresponding computer-readable medium and a corresponding computing system.
Claims15
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, wherein the sensor device comprises at least two spaced apart pressure sensors, each pressure sensor being associated with a corresponding subpart of the compression garment;
- wherein the at least two spaced apart pressure sensors are 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 a mobile communication device,
- wherein the mobile communication device comprises a processor,
- wherein the processor is operable to obtain an identifier of a compression therapy arrangement, and based on the obtained identifier, to obtain at least one range of allowable and/or targeted values for at least one operational parameter of the portion of the compression garment, and
- wherein the at least one range of allowable and/or targeted values includes a plurality of ranges of allowable and/or targeted values for the at least one operational parameter with each range of the plurality of ranges being associated with a corresponding subpart of the plurality of subparts.
