Compression therapy is used to treat and manage chronic venous disease, deep venous thrombosis, and lymphedema. While successful, the means by which compression therapy improves vascular health remains unclear. Portable and wearable health monitoring devices have gained acceptance for managing such chronic conditions. Here, conductive knitted structures are experimented upon to test their suitability for use as wearable pressure sensors.
