Abstract

Parallel to the nowadays technological advancement in general, the hot and cold therapies also went into inevitable enhancement from what it used to be as they are among the key physiotherapeutic treatments. The enhancement is always aiming for offering a more flexible, more effective, easier and more comfortable to handle whether by physiotherapists or patients themselves if used at home. This paper introduces an innovative yet simple engineering method in the usage of hot and cold treatment replacing the traditional idea. It is electronically designed using Arduino, which was tested and validated, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The efficiency shows in terms of high safety measures, low cost of fabrication and usage, resilient as functioning automatically in all-weather conditions with agreeable stability of temperature on the area of patients’ body during treatment.
