Madrid and Las Vegas, December 17 2018, QUANTIC NANOTECH, a product division of Spanish DEMAC S.A. group has today announced the presentation in Eureka Park at CES 2019 of the first real wearable device for the aid, prevention and home treatment of osteoarthritis.

The new product is simple and convenient and can be used at home, controlled by any smartphone or as standalone IOT device, monitored remotely by medical personnel.

“Three years ago I was diagnosed with hand osteoarthritis. When I went to the hospital I found the treatment so cumbersome and complicated that I decided to create a more simple and efficient solution for everyone” said Jose Luis Torre DEMAC group CEO and author of many international related published patents.

The product has been awarded internationally at various shows like InPEX Pittsburgh, ITEX Indonesia and “Salon International des Inventions” Geneva and integrates cutting-edge technologies like memory shaped alloys and latest generation materials.

“This device is a way to apply at the same time and during the night several modalities of treatment in the osteoarthritic hand “, says Dr. Juan Mulero Rheumatologist of the Ruber International Hospital of Madrid.
“This disease is very common, because according to the Framingham Ostearthritis Study it produces in US symptoms of pain and deformity in 16% of women and in 8% of males. The local management of hand osteoarthritis combines both non-pharmacological and pharmacological approaches. Topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are recommended as a first-line pharmacological treatment, and splints might offer warmth, support and stabilization of joints. The customized adaptation along with the possibility of applying topical treatments provided for this device can be very useful in hand osteoarthritis ” said Dr Mulero.

The therapeutic glove of Quantic Nanotech is simple and compact. It has been designed for use at home, controlled by smartphones or internet. Aside, it allows remote control by health professionals.
