Abstract: This paper presents the design and implementation of a proof of concept of a wearable electrostimulation device aimed at improving blood flow in the lower limbs. The portable system, integrated into wearable compression socks, delivers electrical pulses for muscular stimulation in specific areas of the leg, using conductive yarns in their structure, promoting better blood flow. This device addresses the growing sedentary lifestyle and the resulting health issues like poor circulation, which can lead to severe complications. It features Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication for real-time session control via a mobile application. The preliminary results demonstrate effective electrical stimulation, validated through testing, ensuring the feasibility of the system.
