Adherence to a treatment of cranial deformities with a sensorised brace device

Abstract

A disease that affects newborn children causes cranial deformities and the (surgical) treatment possibilities are limited until the children are old enough to not put their life in risk. This work describes an experience based on biomedical and telematics engineering discipline combination, which allows defining a treatment procedure for children between 4 and 18 months old to the diagnosis, helmet design, manufacturing and tracking in a way of registering the adherence during the whole treatment.
