Leave the Sharpie markers and pithy “Get Back On Your Feet!” phrases at home; Pedro Andrade’s orthopedic smart cast concept “Bones” isn’t like the casts you remember when you were a kid. (How could anyone forget that itchy and aromatic plaster?) This high-tech design includes sensors that track motion and muscle activity near fractures, letting the patient and their doctor keep an eye on their progress via website.

With the use of a wireless connection, electromyographic sensors embedded in the cast transfer data to a website where the patients and their doctors follow real-time simulations to monitor mobility and recovery achievements, with the ultimate goal of reducing office visits and speeding up healing times. The website even suggests specific exercises to help keep muscles active during healing. While the exercises are most likely medical expert approved, some patients may find getting medical advice from a computer to be slightly unnerving (this may be similar to learning to remove your appendix by watching YouTube).

For those who don’t like the idea of taking the computer’s advice, the site also encourages interaction by letting other doctors and patients check out a user’s progress to discuss and compare healing achievements. Andrade says the social connectivity “works as a way to encourage new users to engage with their recovery process from the beginning of their treatment.”

Unfortunately for the accident-prone, Bones isn’t yet available to the public.
