A smart, iceless cold compression device to speed recovery from orthopaedic surgery/injury, reducing hospital stays by one day/patient

由James Whitlock（项目/技术负责人）、Leighton Thomas（总经理）和John Barter（商业负责人）组成的核心项目团队，英国医疗设备SME Physiolab Technologies Ltd （Physiolab）正在开发一种智能、无冰、冷压缩设备，以加速骨科手术/受伤后的恢复并减少住院时间。热电效应和智能技术的使用使该设备高效、有效且易于使用，为更广泛的治疗提供了途径，并使NHS能够将患者从等待名单中删除。由于社会经济地位较低的地区等待时间最长，这种解决方案可以改善整个英国的医疗公平。

With a core project team of James Whitlock (Project/Technical Lead), Leighton Thomas (Managing Director) and John Barter (Commercial Lead), UK medical devices SME Physiolab Technologies Ltd (Physiolab) is developing a smart, iceless, cold compression device to speed recovery and reduce hospital stays following orthopaedic surgery/injury. The use of thermoelectric effect and smart technology makes the device efficient, effective and easy to use, offering broader access to proven treatment and enabling the NHS to remove patients from waitlists. As wait times are longest in areas with lower socioeconomic status, this solution can improve medical equity across the UK.
