CurvaGet the app

Hardware

Soft sensing for corrective pressure points.

Curva combines a Velostat sheet, a voltage-divider circuit, and an ESP32-S3 that sends a relative pressure percentage to the app over Bluetooth.

How it connects

From contact inside the brace to a readable app signal.

The firmware captures an unloaded baseline, watches resistance change, smooths the signal, and transmits a 0–100% relative pressure index. The current prototype does not report clinical force in newtons or kilopascals.

  1. 1
    Sense

    Velostat changes resistance under contact.

  2. 2
    Process

    The ESP32-S3 samples and smooths the reading.

  3. 3

    Bluetooth sends the percentage to Curva.

Prototype measurement

Curva’s percentage is intended for comparing relative contact over time. It does not tell a patient to tighten or loosen a brace.
