Nerve Stimulator to Reduce Spasticity

Quell is a wearable transcutaneous electrical nerve-stimulation device used to treat chronic pain. A number of studies have shown that in addition to treating chronic pain, nerve stimulation can also be used to alleviate muscle spasticity affecting people with upper motor neuron disorders such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and traumatic brain injury. The goal of this project is to develop an Android application to control a Quell device to reduce spasticity. The app allows the user to adjust settings such as intensity of nerve stimulation, time of therapy session, and various notification settings for ease of use. The ultimate objective is to enable full flexibility and control of the Quell device through the Android application and to improve the at-home treatment options available to spasticity patients.
