Non-invasive Monitoring of Patients Diagnosed with Varicose Veins and Implementing Automated Treatment
摘要
Varicose veins are twisted, enlarged veins. Any superficial vein may become varicose, but the veins most commonly affected are those in your legs. Thats because standing and walking upright increases the pressure in the veins of your lower body. The majority of individuals commonly perceive spider and varicose veins as cosmetic concerns, while others acknowledge the potential for pain and discomfort associated with them. Nevertheless, varicose veins can lead to more serious complications. Medical interventions, including procedures like vein closure or removal, as well as various home care treatments, prove effective in managing varicose veins. Approximately, 40 million individuals in the western world are affected by varicose veins, with genetic factors contributing to half of these cases. The prevalence of varicose veins is higher in women, accounting for 55%, compared to 45% in men. This study advocates for a proactive approach involving the continuous monitoring of varicose vein patients and the administration of automated treatment as needed. This paper presents a budget-friendly, compact, and wearable device developed for the early identification and prevention of varicose veins using non-intrusive techniques. The method includes continuous monitoring of the temperature in the affected area. Once the temperature exceeds the normal body temperature, indicating inadequate blood flow, automatic vibrations are activated to re-establish proper blood circulation.
