Robotic Support Advanced Gloves for Osteoporosis patient in Biomedical Application

Abstract

The current invention is related to the healthcare and biomedical fields. Osteoporosis patients have diminished hand strength and dexterity, which limits daily tasks and decreases independence. Traditional rehabilitation approaches do not effectively address their unique needs. Innovative methods are critical to increasing hand functionality and offering therapeutic benefits. Robotic gloves for osteoporosis patients aim to improve grip, dexterity, and bone health through integrated therapy. These gloves should be user-friendly, comfortable, and safe, allowing patients to conduct daily tasks on their own and improving their quality of life.

Specification

Description:This medical glove (100) is designed to aid in treating osteoporosis by serving as a therapist's
tool. It features an embedded low-power circuit (200) using an Arduino Nano (201) and a
precise pulse oximeter (202). The glove monitors the patient's health, tracking real-time data
through an OLED display (300). It controls finger movements using servo motors connected
to silicon wires (400), enabling smooth contraction and retraction of finger joints. The glove
operates on a 5V battery pack, making it portable and suitable for various environments,
including home healthcare, telemedicine, and rehabilitation. The system not only provides
support for hand movements but also continuously monitors vital signs like oxygen levels,
offering real-time feedback to both patients and healthcare providers. , C , Claims:A medical glove (100) for treating osteoporosis, designed to be connected as a therapist's
aid to the wrist of the patient, facilitating therapeutic hand movements and monitoring
real-time health data.
2. A novel low-power circuit (200) embedded in the medical glove (100), comprising an
Arduino Nano (201) connected to a precise oximeter (202), configured to enable a stepper
motor (203) for smooth contraction and retraction of finger joints, ensuring reduced
power consumption.
3. The health of the osteoporosis patient is monitored by a visual aid, specifically an OLED
display (300), integrated into the medical glove for real-time health tracking.
4. The movements of the fingers are achieved smoothly through silicon wires (400)
systematically arranged through the joints of the fingers, facilitating controlled and
precise motion.
