A New Model of Patient Monitoring System for Self-Administered Lymphatic Treatment of Leg Pain Based on Double-Loop Feedback Theory

Leg pain is prevalent due to contemporary lifestyles, yet existing treatments present significant challenges: they often require continuous engagement for healing, are time-consuming and costly for patients attending treatment centres, and lack effective systems for monitoring rehabilitation progress. To address these issues, this research proposes a new model of patient monitoring system for lymphatic treatment of leg pain. Lymphatic treatment was selected for its suitability as a continuous, cost-effective, and home-based approach. The treatment method involves fingertips massage combined with oral medication (diabegard herb-based pills) and topical medication (cinnamon cream). The proposed monitoring system is developed based on double-loop feedback theory, with its framework designed to ensure that problems and desired modifications prompt a simultaneous revisit of underlying assumptions to achieve effective solutions for leg pain. This patient monitoring system model offers a low-cost, useful guide for both patients with leg pain and their caretakers, particularly benefiting the lower to middle-class community. The expected outcome of this research is a new concept for a systematic patient monitoring system specifically for lymphatic treatment of leg pain, grounded in double-loop feedback theory.
