A smart waistband design with pressure alarm and acupoint application function
Low back pain is the number one disabling disease worldwide.In the conservative therapy,wearing a waistband can provide support and restraint to the lumbar spine,reduce pressure on the lumbar discs and intervertebral joints,and relieve tension on the low back muscles.However,the existing waistband lacks pressure alarm function,and it is easy to squeeze the abdomen or damage the lumbar intervertebral disc when worn too tightly.In this paper,we design an intelligent Chinese medicine physiotherapy waistband with pressure alarm and acupoint application function.Firstly,the pressure value at different positions during the wearing process of the waistband is detected in real time by the multi-channel pressure detection module,and the alarm is displayed when the pressure is too high.Secondly,the dressing package is set in the acupuncture point area closely related to the waist,and the heating and temperature are displayed at regular intervals.Finally,the detected pressure information is uploaded to the big data center through the big data module,and the optimal treatment plan is obtained by collecting a large amount of data on the pressure of the waist circumference and the rehabilitation effect of the wearer.
