|---|---|---|
A new wearable device called the 'Ubi-Sleeve' is currently being developed that enables prosthesis wearers and other stakeholders to review temperature, humidity and prosthesis slippage behavior during everyday prosthesis wear. A combination of custom 3D printed strain sensors and off the shelf temperature and humidity sensors will be integrated into an unobtrusive sleeve to create a device that enables a deeper level of understanding of heat and sweat issues. To create the device, a series of experiments are in progress that will quantify changes in heat, humidity and slippage that negatively affect the prosthesis experience. Interviews and focus groups are also being conducted to gain a deeper understanding of the human side of prosthesis wear and to also ensure that data are presented in a way that is effective, useful and easy to understand. |
