On June 18, Seragem reported that the research, conducted in collaboration with the Future Healthcare Center at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), was featured in the May 2026 issue of "Computers in Biology and Medicine."
The study aimed to investigate how a limb compression circulation device (intermittent pneumatic compression, IPC) affects blood circulation.
Seragem explained that it identified, for the first time, the mechanism by which vascular deformation and pressure transmission rates vary according to body fat percentage. The research compared computer analysis results with actual human data to confirm the principles behind improved blood circulation.
The limb compression circulation device used in the study is the "Air Cell Massager" from the "Master V Collection." It sequentially compresses and relaxes the entire leg from the toes to the thighs using air pressure, aiding in blood circulation improvement and alleviating lower body fatigue.
Previously, Seragem announced that a human simulation modeling study conducted with KAIST's Future Healthcare Center was published in the March 2026 issue of the SCI-indexed journal "Annals of Biomedical Engineering." This research validated the clinical applicability of human simulation models used in limb compression circulation devices, known as intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) technology.
A Seragem representative stated, "As we accumulate scientific evidence for blood circulation improvement technologies beyond just analysis technology development, we plan to continue expanding research into personalized healthcare technologies that consider individual physical characteristics, as well as utilize artificial intelligence (AI) and data-driven healthcare solutions."
