Air-Powered Computer to Help Prevent Blood Clots and Strokes
Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices are leg sleeves that inflate with air at regular intervals to compress the legs, thereby enhancing blood flow and preventing clots which can lead to blocked blood vessels, strokes, or even death. Traditionally, these devices are powered and monitored by electronic systems, and while sensors can be integrated to detect malfunctions, this incorporation can increase the cost, complexity, and potential safety issues of the setup. Now, scientists have built an innovative air-powered computer that can trigger alarms when IPC devices malfunction, offering a more dependable and cost-effective solution for clot and stroke prevention without the need for electronic sensors.
