In the US, 5% of people are affected by Carpal Tunnel Syndrome which is usually caused by elevated pressure in the wrist from holding it in an unnatural position for too long. Early detection and prevention has the potential to avoid surgery and improve lives. We are designing a wearable glove that warns a user if a wrist is in the same position for an extended period of time utilizing ESP32, two IMUs, a buzzer, and a button for user input.
