A Remote Monitoring System for Treating Pectus Carinatum

摘要：

The purpose of this research was to improve the current treatment process for Pectus Carinatum (PC). PC is a chest deformity where the sternum and surrounding area are pushed outwards as a result of an excessive amount of rib cartilage. The current treatment process involves wearing a chest brace to slowly pull the shape of the chest back into a normal shape. The current treatment process lasts for about seven months and the brace has to be worn for at least seven hours each day during this process 1.
