- The modified compression vest prevents hematoma formation near pacemaker/defibrillators, addressing over compression, affordability, and mobility with features like an air-pump button and Tencel fibers for improved usability.
- Limitations include high manufacturing costs and lack of instantaneous feedback; these will be addressed through iterative design, clinical trials, and efforts to enable mass production.
- With no current compression therapy guidelines for elderly patients, further research is needed to optimize engineering solutions for minimizing pocket hematoma formation.
