A Review on VARIBRACE – A Wearable Therapeutic Device

In this modern era people are growing more sluggish, which results in physical inactivity. Due to this, pressure on the leg vein increases resulting in inflammation of vascular epithelial cells which is called a varicose vein. They also form when the veins in the legs become weak and the vein valves allow blood to flow in both directions and causing pain. This is caused by factors such as obesity, hormonal changes during pregnancy and menopause, and prolonged sitting or standing. This paper summarizes different ways in which varicose veins can be analyzed and how pain can be reduced in patients with varicose veins. A new system is needed to address the pain caused due to varicose veins in which the positional data are analyzed using various sensors and this data is processed in the microprocessor. The output of this system should combine heat and vibration therapy to the patient to reduce pain in a non-invasive way.
