Neck Pain Aid Using NI-LabVIEW

BioMedical Engineering

The Neck is the part of the body that connects the head with the torso and provides the mobility and movements of the head. It supports the weight of the head and protects the nerves that carry sensory and motor information from the brain down to the rest of the body. In addition, the neck is highly flexible and allows the head to turn and flex in all directions. Disorders of the neck are a common source of pain. The neck has a great deal of functionality but is also subject to a lot of stress. The aim of our project is to reduce the neck pain in trigger points by giving the specific temperature. We developed an Automated Temperature controlled Hot and Cold providing system using NI LabVIEW. The purpose of using Ni-LabVIEW is it makes it simple to integrate measurement hardware, represent complex logic on the diagram, develop data analysis algorithms, and design custom engineering user interfaces. Neck pain Aid is developed using Peltier module with the application of Ni-LabView. When Peltier module is powered with DC electric current it gets HOT on one side and COLD on the other side. Based on our choice and need Heat or cold can be provided to the individual to Aid pain.
