Christopher developed a smart cast to help with identifying acute compartment syndrome (ACS). ACS is a medical complication that happens when a cast on a broken arm or leg is too tight, cutting off blood supply and leading to possible limb amputation. Currently, there is no device available to detect ACS. This Smart Cast provides a new way to recognize ACS and prevent limb amputation.
