Designing the Uplift compression device with Kishen Mitra and Sameer Kunte

This podcast episode discusses the development of the Uplift compression device, designed to aid POTS patients. Engineers Kishen Mitra and Sameer Kunte from Duke University lead the project, seeking to provide more effective abdominal compression to POTS sufferers. They emphasize that while abdominal compression can alleviate POTS symptoms by preventing blood pooling, existing products often fall short in comfort and effectiveness. Their team conducted a nationwide survey to understand patients' experiences, highlighting issues with current compression garments. Uplift aims to offer adjustable, dynamic compression, allowing patients to control pressure levels and improve daily comfort. Clinical trials are ongoing, with the goal of producing a commercially available product that enhances existing POTS management strategies. The episode highlights the innovative approach of developing user-friendly, medical-grade compression technology tailored specifically for POTS patients.
