Smart wearing back corset for keeping the fixation surgery patient back straight

Project Title

Smart wearing back corset for keeping the fixation surgery patient back straight

Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject Summary

SUMMARY:

Nowadays people who have undergone fixation surgery tend to have backlash or repercussions after surgery due to slight accidental movements so a precise method should be developed to counter this problem. This project works on developing such a system.

The system is placed as a back corset and it helps the patient to keep the back straight. It helps the patient to maintain the prevention of lumbar disorders and degenerative disc disease. This product is especially suitable for patients who have had spinal surgery and those with severe deformities of the back or spine. The corset is equipped with a buzzer, which ensures proper back position. The system also includes flex sensors - these can read the bending or deflection of your back's position.

Language: Arduino language will be used.

Technologies used in this project are Arduino microcontroller which is used to control all the peripherals, 6 flex sensors which will be used to sense the posture of the patient,2 buzzers will be used that will beep to warn the patient,  breadboard for connection of wires, female-female jumper wires for wiring.

Project Objectives

Project Objectives

1. A smart medical device forcing patients to correct their postures.
2. Buzzers will produce sounds to alert the patient to correct their posture.
3. Flex sensors will detect angles and send data to the Arduino board.

Correct sitting for fast recovery of the patient.

Project Implementation Method

Implementation

 The tools we will use are Arduino, 2 buzzers, 6 flex sensors, breadboard, female-female jumper wires, 6 resistors, and Arduino software. The flex sensors will detect the posture of the back and send this angles data to the Arduino board then if the posture is not right buzzers will start to beep until the patient corrects the posture.

Benefits of the Project

Benefits:

1. This project will help patients to keep their backs straight.
2. Will reduce back pains.
3. Correct sitting position.
4. Patients' recovery will get fast

After Surgery due to patients a lot of movement they face backlash and this will help them out by correcting their posture

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Deliverable:

Our proposed system is made for the patient spinal fixation recovery and this is an embedded system in which we will embed code on Aurdino, two flex sensors and two buzzers are used one flex sensor and buzzer on Thoracic and one flex sensor and buzzer on the lumbar, if our upper posture is wrong the flex sensor and buzzer on the Thoracic will start to beep and if the lower posture is wrong the flex sensor and buzzer on lumbar will start to beep.
