DEVICE FOR DETECTING PRESENCE AND SEVERITY OF EDEMA |
| 摘要 |
A device monitors circumferences of the leg, and estimates volume of a section of the leg, to detect edema, which can be indicative of CHF, and gauge the effectiveness of medication. The device sends the calculations to a database via BLUETOOTH™ for the patient's treating medical personnel to see. |

1. A brace for measuring changes in human leg volume comprising:
a plurality of sensors that each output a signal; a source configured to generate and send a voltage to each of the plurality of sensors; and a microprocessor that receives signals from each of the sensors, calculates the circumference and volume of the human leg, and communicates with a remote processing unit; and a remote processing unit configured to receive the output from the microprocessor, and identify and store trends in the human leg volume over time. |
