Arthritis is painful.
Compression on joints
Cooling on joints
Wrist/knuckles/hand
Knee
Wrist/knuckles/hand
Gloves
Knee
Gloves
Could be adjustable on each joint (knuckle, wrist)
Current cooling methods need replenishing (ice packs)
ankle
Could be powered electrically and use sensors to determine existing temperature
some knee pad or compression sock
compression socks
Could be adjustable on each joint (knuckle, wrist) and define specific amount of cooling
can use endothemic reaction
Spine
Back brace
Spine
Maybe not wearable?
Back brace
This would also cover toe joints
Not really wearable?
Chemical packs that can "store" more cooling/mL
dr. veety mentioned that it could be done electronically
Compression socks
Also covers feet, ankle, toes
could have user input
Warming on Joints
Spine
Wrist/knuckles/hand
Knee
Ankle
Drugs (is that wearable?) (could be integrated into wearable stuff)
NSAIDs
Steroids
DMARDs
Brace
Reminder to take NSAIDs/steroids/DMARDs if too much pain
Gloves
Gloves could assist in the heating process
Compression socks
Back Brace
Compression socks or knee pads
Automatic injector (like automatic finger pricking for diabetes)
this might be related to compression. To compress, we might need an exoskeleton
exothermic reaction?
could be done electrically too
gotta compress those toes
Electrically
Exothermic
Electrically
Exothermic reaction
Electrically
Exothermic reaction
Something that measures circulation to bring a healthy amount of heating/cooling
Could determine the amount of circulation the pressure helps and bring a healthy amount of pressure without hurting the user
