1、Children's cerebral palsy rehabilitation auxiliary training insoles
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a common neurological syndrome among children and one of the leading causes of disability in children. According to incomplete statistics, there are over 6 million patients with cerebral palsy in China, making it the highest in the world. Every year, nearly 100,000 new cases are added, and most of these children suffer from lifelong disabilities due to the lack of early detection and treatment. For children with cerebral palsy, comprehensive rehabilitation treatment focused on motor rehabilitation can gradually promote the development of the children’s motor functions to the best level, thereby minimizing the disability rate as much as possible. The use of a matrix flexible pressure sensor array can collect gait and plantar pressure data in real-time, enabling the testing and evaluation of the intensity of the child’s footfall, step frequency, gait stability and symmetry, fluidity, and endurance. This is of significant importance for monitoring and promoting the motor rehabilitation training of children with cerebral palsy.

2、Intelligent Mattress Pressure Sensing System Applied to Pressure Ulcer Detection Solutions
With the aging population, the incidence of pressure ulcers (bedsores) among bedridden patients is gradually increasing. Smart anti-pressure ulcer mattresses, through pressure distribution signals, adjust air cushions, change body positions, and prevent bedsores. They provide monitoring for long-term bedridden patients, making care more humane and offering necessary care to more people in need.
The Flexniss flexible pressure sensor array can be customized to the size of a mattress, is ultra-thin and flexible, and has multiple sensing points that can cover the entire body area, thereby providing precise pressure distribution signals and real-time collection of the patient's condition on the bed.
Smart Mattress Pressure Sensorere
Deploy a layer of high-elasticity sponge on the upper part of the airbag, and affix pressure sensors on top of the high-elasticity sponge.The standard effective sensing area for a single pressure sensor is 60*180CM, which can be covered by piecing together multiple flexible pressure sensors. The specific dimensions can be customized.
Pressure sensor requirements:
1) The effective sensing area of the pressure sensor is 60*180CM, which can be composed of 6 40*60 pressure sensors. Located in the center of the above-mentioned high-elastic sponge width, aligned with the head, as shown in Figure 1.
2) The total width of the sensor is 60CM, divided into 6 columns, and the identification area is 10CM wide in each column; the total height of the sensor is 180CM, divided into 20 rows, and the identification area is 9CM high per row; that is, each independent identification area is 10CM, and the height is 9CM. The whole mattress is set up with 6*20, a total of 120 independent pressure recognition areas. The pressure sensing system sends the pressure data of each area of 120 identification areas after receiving the pressure transmission instruction of the communication system, as shown in Figure 2.

3、Plantar pressure distribution monitoring - applied to foot diseases such as diabetic foot and plantar fasciitis
The distribution of plantar pressure is highly correlated with human health, and abnormal changes in plantar pressure distribution are early symptoms of certain foot diseases.
To help patients prevent foot diseases, it is crucial to use a dynamic plantar pressure distribution measurement system based on tactile sensor arrays for real-time monitoring of plantar pressure distribution. For foot diseases such as diabetic foot disease and plantar fasciitis, abnormal increases and distributions of plantar pressure are important factors in the occurrence and aggravation of the condition. By monitoring and analyzing the plantar pressure distribution of patients, abnormal areas can be detected in a timely manner to prevent further damage from the disease.

4、Far infrared heating therapy
Graphene has the function of emitting far-infrared rays, producing far-infrared rays in the wavelength range of 8-14 micrometers, which resonates most effectively with the water molecules in human cells, known as the “life light wave”.
This resonance can effectively promote blood circulation, strengthen metabolism between tissues, increase the regenerative capacity of tissues, enhance the body’s immune ability, thereby playing a role in body health care. Moreover, the wearing experience is more comfortable and healthier compared to the heating form of direct contact with heating materials.
Therefore, products made of graphene, such as heating waist belts, neck protectors, knee pads, clothing, etc., can be well applied to alleviate neck soreness, back and knee weakness, old cold legs, menstrual pain, etc. At the same time, after using graphene heat therapy, it relaxes muscles, promotes microcirculation of blood in the neck, and achieves the effect of pain relief, anti-inflammatory, and soothing physiotherapy.
Characteristics of far-infrared graphene heating
- Rapid heating: instant hot, low power consumption, no radiation, adjustable temperature;
- High electrical-to-heat conversion efficiency: >99%
- Ultra-thin design: thickness only 350μm
- Ultra-soft and imperceptible: invisible, seamless when worn under clothing, perfectly integrated with fabric, no foreign body sensation
- Ultra-soft and imperceptible: invisible, seamless when worn under clothing, perfectly integrated with fabric, no foreign body sensation
