The present invention relates to a scoliosis correction vest comprising: a pressure sensor formed at an upper support point, an intermediate pressurization point, and a lower support point for applying a force for scoliosis correction; A control unit for receiving information of a pressure sensor formed at the upper support point, the intermediate pressurization point, and the lower support point, and recording and computing the information; A Bluetooth module that is included in the controller and wirelessly transmits data calculated by the controller; An application for inputting data wirelessly transmitted from the Bluetooth module, analyzing the data, storing the data, and outputting the data; The smart scoliosis correction vest is characterized in that the scoliosis correction result is consistently recorded and reported so that the degree of improvement and the pressure correction information can be recognized by the smartphone.

Scoliosis (scoliosis) is a term derived from the skolios of the Greek word for skewing, the vertebrae are sideways bent.

When looking at the front or back of the spine, the head and legs should be in line, but the side flexed (side only) is scoliosis.

This is caused by various causes, such as posture abnormalities and pain caused by scoliosis that does not change the structure of the vertebrae functional scoliosis, scoliosis that changes in the structure of the spine itself is called structural scoliosis scoliosis.

Such structural scoliosis is often unexplained and can worsen gradually, leading to a decrease in the heart and pulmonary function.

For scoliosis, there is a method of treatment with an orthosis and a method of treatment by surgery. In cases where the angle of scoliosis is about 20 to 40 degrees, a treatment method using an orthosis is generally used.

The orthosis includes a Milwaukee orthosis that goes up to the neck, and a thoracic lumbar support that goes under the armpit.

The conventional orthosis for the treatment of scoliosis includes a support for protecting the waist of the wearer and a fixing part for fixing the support to the waist. The support part has a constant curved surface bent inward, A plurality of reinforcing bars are embedded in the supporting portion, and the auxiliary band having the Velcro attached thereto is attached to the fixing portion.

When the vertebral orthosis is worn, a plurality of ribs built in the support accurately support the lumbar spine of the waist, and are firmly fixed by the Velcro of the fixing part to apply a certain angle to the lumbar vertebrae by the vertebra.

In order to correct such scoliosis, a scoliosis correction vest such as the patent 10-1013298 has been developed and a symptom monitoring device such as the patent 10-0661305 has been developed.

In addition, the scoliosis orthosis used in the past has a problem in that the supporting force for supporting scoliosis is different due to the everyday life as the wearer grows, which makes it difficult to correct quickly and effectively. In the conventional practice 20-0383265, After the pressure sensor is installed inside the patient, the pressure applied to the patient is transmitted to the electronic device, and the value of the sensor transmitted to the electronic device is plotted on the computer monitor to be applied to the patient So that the magnitude of the force can be visually confirmed.

However, in the case of the proprietary model, it is difficult for the patient to easily recognize his symptom improvement state, and the physician can not easily recognize the pressure correction amount according to the patient's symptom.

The present invention relates to a pressure sensor that transmits pressure information obtained from a vest for correcting scoliosis to a patient and a doctor's smartphone and provides a smart scoliosis correction It is intended to provide a vest.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a scoliosis correction vest comprising: a pressure sensor formed on an upper supporting point, a middle pressing point, and a lower supporting point for applying a force for correcting scoliosis; A control unit for receiving information of a pressure sensor formed at the upper support point, the intermediate pressurization point, and the lower support point, and recording and computing the information; A Bluetooth module that is included in the controller and wirelessly transmits data calculated by the controller; An application for inputting data wirelessly transmitted from the Bluetooth module, analyzing the data, storing the data, and outputting the data; The smart scoliosis correction vest is characterized in that the scoliosis correction result is consistently recorded and reported so that the degree of improvement and the pressure correction information can be recognized by the smartphone.

Wherein the pressure sensor is formed of a pad type pressure sensor and measures a pressure value in a wide distribution with respect to the pressure point so that a pressure error due to a user's action can be corrected, desirable.

According to the present invention, pressure information obtained from a vest for correcting scoliosis with a pressure sensor is transmitted to a patient and a doctor's smartphone, and a smart vertebral scoliosis There is an advantage that a correction vest is provided.

FIG. 2 shows the spinal state of a scoliosis patient
Fig. 3 shows the wear state diagram

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of related arts or configurations will be omitted when it is determined that the gist of the present invention may be unnecessarily obscured will be.

It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and are intended to be exemplary, self-explanatory, allowing for equivalent explanations of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a vertebra state diagram of a scoliosis patient, and FIG. 3 is a wear state diagram of the present invention.

As shown in the drawings, the present invention relates to a scoliosis correction vest comprising a pressure sensor 10 formed on an upper support point 10-1, an intermediate pressurization point 10-2, and a lower support point 10-3, A control unit 20, a Bluetooth module 200, and a smartphone 30.

The scoliosis correction vest is a vest having a device for pressing the curved vertebrae as shown in Fig. 2 for the treatment of scoliosis.

The pressure for correction of the vertebrae only forms support points on the upper and lower sides of the curved vertebrae as shown in Fig. 2 and forms a pressing point on the curved vertebra so that the vertebrae is corrected again.

In the present invention, the upper support point 10-1 and the lower support point 10-3 refer to a pressure portion for supporting the pressurization point as shown in FIG. 3, It means the pressure applied to the bent part of the vertebrae for vertebra correction.

The present invention forms a pressure sensor on the upper support point 10-1, the intermediate support point 10 and the lower support point 10-3 so that the change in the pressure applied for the correction of only the spine is observed and recorded .

In other words, patients wearing spinal scoliosis information changes with time as the scoliosis is corrected gradually over time.

Therefore, by observing the change in the applied pressure, the patient can know the symptom improvement state, and the patient can recognize the improvement state of the patient while the doctor can know the pressure change amount to increase the correction effect.

On the other hand, since the patient wears the scoliosis correction vest, the pressure applied in the posture set for the treatment and the pressure measured in the daily life may be different.

In the present invention, the pressure sensor 10 is formed of a pad-type pressure sensor to compensate for the pressure, and the pressure value is measured in a wide distribution with respect to the pressure point so that the pressure error due to the user's action can be corrected.

That is, the pressure error due to the patient's life action is corrected as much as possible by measuring the average pressure value of the large area.

The control unit 20 of the present invention receives the information of the pressure sensor formed on the upper support point 10-1, the intermediate pressurization point 10-2 and the lower support point 10-3 as shown in FIG. 3, Recording, and arithmetic processing.

The control unit 20 may be configured to memorize an evolving state in response to a change in pressure and transmit it to a patient or a doctor through a display.

In addition, the control unit calculates the amount of call to the current pressure, outputs the amount of pressurization in the next step, and automatically proceeds to the patient treatment.

The Bluetooth module 200 of the present invention is a wireless communication module included in the controller 20 and wirelessly transmitting data calculated by the controller 20.

And outputs the pressure value measured by the smartphone 30 of the patient or the amount of information calculated by the controller 20 using the Bluetooth module 200. [

The smartphone 30 is provided with an app for inputting data to be wirelessly transmitted in advance, analyzing the data, storing the data, and outputting the data.

The app also has an information exchange means connected to the smartphone 10-1 of the doctor so that the doctor can check the improvement status of the patient even at a remote place and can immediately recognize the pressure correction amount do.

On the other hand, according to the present invention, when the smartphone is used, the user can always know the information about the pressure that presses him / her.

This is a characteristic part that greatly differs from the prior art by using a smartphone. Assuming that the effective recognition range of the pressure sensor during pressure application for correction is set in the range of 100 to 200 Pascals, When the value below Pascal is measured and reported to the smartphone, it displays the wearing fault and enables the user to wear it normally.

Also, in such a case, the user can always recognize his pressurization information as a smartphone even though he / she does not have a doctor's help, so that he / she can try to wear normally while watching the smartphone.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in many other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. It is to be understood that the technical spirit of the present invention is to the extent possible.
