Abstract

This work presents a home based automated temporary treatment for patient healthcare to be made easier. Varicose veins are veins that are twisted and bulging. Varicose veins can form near the surface of the skin (superficial veins). Varicose veins most commonly affect the veins in the legs. The proposed system consists of a wearable device with vibrating motors connected to an ESP32. Here pressure sensors are used to measure variation of blood pressure in the upper and lower region of the body and if the reading of pressure is higher in the lower region compared to the upper region, then it will activate the motor to give in the exercise to subtle pain and the block of blood in the nerves. This exercise is also given in a periodic time interval without waiting until pressure variation is observed. These automated stockings will also behave as a normal compression stocking when vibration is not applied. In simple words the new designed stocking can perform in 3 ways. The signal acquired from the pressure sensor is processed by ESP32. This in turn activates the motor(to provide periodic vibrations). Patients will be able to receive rapid temporary therapy if this rehabilitation system is implemented.
