Due to an increasingly ageing population, now more than ever, it is necessary to implement a preventative care approach as opposed to reactive care for musculoskeletal conditions (osteoarthritis, knee pain, back pain) to improve the quality of life of an ever-ageing population. This enables significant time and resource savings whilst improving overall patient outcomes using objective, continuous data to support patient-specific, tailored care.Treatment and rehabilitation for patients with musculoskeletal conditions currently relies on orthoses and the use of motion capture rooms to assess recovery and movement. However, these tend to be expensive and do not provide monitoring in real-life, everyday scenarios over a long period of time. Without appropriate, tailored treatment, many patients who suffer from these chronic conditions end up needing surgery or suffer from lifelong disabilities. Additionally, clinicians are unable to assess progress in a way that is quick and objective.KYMIRA's smart wearable for remote medical monitoring offers a step-change in non-invasive continuous high-fidelity data collection across multiple clinically relevant parameters, to detect early changes and offer customised preventive and early treatment solutions.The project will build on KYMIRA's award-winning smart sports clothing solutions, which will be adapted for a medical application to remotely monitor patients with musculoskeletal conditions. The project uses smart garments equipped with sensors that capture and integrate movement and joint angle data during everyday movements and activities.This easy-to-use, flexible smart garment with embedded electronics can be worn by patients without interrupting their usual activities. Based on the data, personalised exercise and movement programmes can be provided to enable continuous improvement of musculoskeletal conditions and rehabilitation, to support health and wellbeing, one of the competition broader themes of this competition.

由于人口越来越大，现在比以往任何时候都要多，因此必须实施一种预防性护理方法，而不是针对肌肉骨骼疾病（骨关节炎，膝盖疼痛，背痛）的反应性护理，以改善不断增加的人群的生活质量。这可以大量的时间和资源节省，同时使用客观的连续数据改善患者的总体结果，以支持患者特定的，量身定制的护理。治疗和康复目前肌肉骨骼状况的患者目前依赖于矫形器，并使用运动捕获室来评估康复和运动。但是，这些往往很昂贵，并且在很长一段时间内无法提供现实生活中的日常情况。没有适当的量身定制治疗，许多患有这些慢性疾病的患者最终需要手术或终身残疾。此外，临床医生无法以快速和客观的方式评估进度。Kymira的远程医疗监控的智能可穿戴设备可在多个临床上相关参数中进行非侵入性连续的高保真数据收集，以检测早期更改和提供定制的预防和​​早期治疗解决方案。该项目将基于Kymira屡获殊荣的智能运动服装解决方案，该解决方案将适用于医疗应用，以远程监测患有肌肉骨骼状况的患者。该项目使用配备有传感器的智能服装，可在日常运动和活动期间捕获和整合运动和关节角度数据。这种易于使用的柔性智能服装具有嵌入式电子设备，而不会中断他们通常的活动。根据数据，可以提供个性化的运动和运动计划，以持续改善肌肉骨骼状况和康复，以支持健康和福祉，这是该竞赛的更广泛主题之一。
