Smart Textile Material
Example how to connect IPMCs material on the bottom side of product
Ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) are a subset of electroactive polymers that are classified as soft.
Thus, IPMC functions as both an actuator and a sensor.
IPMCs will be inserted and secured within the smart socks in order to provide complete leg support.
The energy for each IPMC will be supplied by the conductive wire.
Printed Circuit Board
The printed circuit board controls the system which comprises battery, low energy Bluetooth, a power section and circuit traces.
The rechargeable battery can be selected as main power supply to provide power to the power management section which generates the essential voltages to the IPMC. Each IPMC segment is supplied by different voltage levels which causes different mechanical deformation or pressure on the leg. The peak value is at ankle and gradually reduce to calf, knee and thigh.

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) system on a chip (SoC) for control and wireless data communication for a user interface (UI). The BLE interface supports wireless, long-range communication to smartphones. It sends all the pressure sensing data to mobile apps; therefore, the app will analyze the current user’s situation and instruct the product to apply pressure accordingly to various parts of the leg.
ACTIVE
COMPRESSION
Autonomous Leg Massage for improved circulation, to help combating serious various medical conditions.
INCREASING
COMPLIANCE
Specifically designed to be easy to wear with a comfortable fit, LTE Stocking's device does not disrupt the patient’s lifestyle promoting lifesaving compliance
SMART
MATERIALS
Integrates proprietary Artificial Muscles (EAPs), to create a low profile, mobile, active compression device
