METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR GENERATING ACCURATELY FITTING COMPRESSION GARMENTS HAVING GLOVE OR GLOVE-LIKE FEATURES FOR A PERSON IN NEED THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20230116033 titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR GENERATING ACCURATELY FITTING COMPRESSION GARMENTS HAVING GLOVE OR GLOVE-LIKE FEATURES FOR A PERSON IN NEED THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for generating compression garment fit information using images of a selected body part or area in need of compression therapy. The method involves processing the images along with a library of compression garment fit information, generating a 3D reconstruction of the body part/area, deriving anthropometric information from the reconstruction, providing a compression value, and generating compression garment fit information.
- The method involves acquiring images of a body part or area in need of compression therapy.
- The acquired images are processed along with a library of compression garment fit information.
- A 3D reconstruction of the body part/area is generated.
- Anthropometric information is derived from the 3D reconstruction.
- A compression value corresponding to the prescribed or intended amount of compression therapy is provided.
- Compression garment fit information is generated for the selected body part/area.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Customized compression garment fitting for individuals in need of compression therapy.
- Improved accuracy in determining the appropriate compression level for therapy.
- Efficient and precise measurement of anthropometric information for compression garment design.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Inaccurate or inconsistent fitting of compression garments.
- Difficulty in determining the appropriate compression level for therapy.
- Lack of standardized methods for measuring anthropometric information for compression garment design.
Benefits of this technology:
- Customized compression garment fitting can improve comfort and effectiveness of therapy.
- Accurate determination of compression level can optimize therapy outcomes.
- Standardized measurement methods can enhance consistency and reliability in compression garment design.
Original Abstract Submitted
various examples are provided related to identification of anthropometric information for fitting of compression garments. in one example, a method of generating compression garment fit information includes acquiring images including a selected body part or body area in need of compression therapy; processing the acquired images along with a library of compression garment fit information; generating a 3d reconstruction of the selected body part/area; deriving anthropometric information for the selected body part/area from the 3d reconstruction; providing a compression value corresponding to a prescribed or intended amount of compression therapy applied to the selected body part/area; and generating compression garment fit information for the selected body part/area. in another example, a library of compression garment fit information includes anthropometric information generated for individuals in need of compression therapy; information associated with a health condition for the individuals; and compression garment fit instructions provided by a compression garment manufacturer.
