Internal/External Analog Leg Pressure Sensor
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can affect sedentary patients who do not get much use of their legs or have been sitting for extended periods of time. The Kendall SCD Smart Compression system is an innovative device designed by Cardinal Health that produces a fruitful solution to combat such conditions. Our project's objective is to see exactly how the compression system affects pressure both outside and inside the leg. The internal pressure will be found using an analog leg that has pressure sensors implanted inside the system. The external pressure will be found by wrapping a pressure sensor map between the compression sleeve and the analog.
