Our garments apply higher levels of even pressure than we anticipated, and the hospital is open to doing a study! This is a huge milestone. On Monday, we rigged up the human tissue simulant with our pressure sensor array and a compression strip sized to it, and applied a maximum of 60mmHg, and a minimum of 0mmHg. This upper bound is incredible, as the most that we’d ever expect to apply in a medical context is ~40, but the range is also unprecedented for a single garment. We pulled together a bunch of documentation related to those and other tests, then on Wednesday, we visited the lymphedema clinic with our latest prototypes. Their response was overwhelmingly good, and we are looking forward to working with the patients there.
