Wearable sub-bandage pressure measurement system

A new flexible sensor technology has been developed for use in non-invasive biomedical pressure sensing application. Supporting electronic systems were developed to facilitate use of the sensors for bandage training workshops and for outpatient and sub-acute compression therapy pressure monitoring. Preliminary results indicate that the technology provides quantitative data relating to applied pressure, pressure gradients and pressure fluctuations occurring under bandages routinely used in compression therapy. The availability of such quantitative data should allow clinicians correlate satisfactory medical outcomes with specific treatment regimes.
