A Smart Compression Sleeve for Lymphedema Treatment

Described herein are systems and methods for improving the performance of and compliance with wearable garments. In some embodiments, a system comprises one or more sensors integrated within a wearable garment. The sensors are configured to generate data responsive to pressure exerted by the wearable garment on a user; and one or more processors coupled to the one or more sensors. The processors are configured to process the generated data to determine a duration of use of the wearable garment by the user; and in response to determining that the duration of use is less than a predetermined duration of use threshold, generating one or more notifications.
