Three students at the Applied Technology High School in Abu Dhabi, Abdulaziz Al Zarouni, Faris Al Mazrouei and Omar Al Badi, developed an automated system to implant patients with bone fractures to prevent joint swelling and skin irritation.
The students said that the project is a system to prevent swelling of the joints and skin irritation in the areas of the body that are orthopedically, through the use of sensors and light strips of ultraviolet light, and simple ventilation techniques, and linked to intelligent application of the alert and follow-up, which contributes to Detection of early stages of swelling and bacterial infections and preventing them from spreading.
"Patients who need osteoporosis because of fracture, or after surgery, may feel pain and tenderness due to swollen areas. Some infections occur due to the accumulation of bacteria and cause skin irritation."
The device consists of a flexible base, can be placed on any part of the human body will be orthopedic, and installed by the battery and micro-life, which through the ultraviolet light reduces the moisture of the pit, fan and air to a sterile piece of copper to introduce new air inside the pit, and sensors Sensor for measuring pressure and detecting any swelling. They added that the device connected to the application is loaded on the doctor's phone, to follow the patient's condition, and intervene in a timely manner, as the device sends periodic reports of temperature and humidity in the pit, in addition to measuring the extent of swelling of the body, pointing out that the device has been tried with more than one patient, And can be circulated in hospitals and bone centers, especially cost 50 dirhams.
