Heating and Cooling Pad for Therapeutic Treatment

February 3, 2023 by

Team: Celeste Castillo (ME), Zachary Christiansen (ME), Jakob Kraiger (BioE)

Advisor(s): Van Carey

Contrast therapy, the repeated application of alternating heating and cooling cycles to the skin, is effective in increasing blood flow, reducing muscle stiffness, increasing muscle elasticity, and relieving pain. However, despite its proven effectiveness, current contrast therapy is still mostly achieved with ice packs and heating pads, which are effortful, unreliable and unsafe devices. By actively sensing skin temperature and using thermoelectric technology we will create a device that is worry-free and mess-free.
