“Ouli “is an innovative IoT solution that enables scar therapy at home under the remote supervision of a specialist. The system consists of a device equipped with a massaging head that replicates manual scar mobilization techniques used by physiotherapists. Through a mobile app, the patient can communicate with a specialist who monitors the therapy process and adjusts the personalized treatment plan based on the provided data. Remote therapeutic supervision allows real-time adaptation of treatment parameters to the condition of the tissues and their modification as the therapy progresses. 

 

“Ouli” makes scar therapy more accessible, allowing specialists to care for a greater number of patients, which has a tangible impact on improving public health. For the first time, a standardized therapy model is being introduced – one that ensures repeatable procedures, treatment parameterization, and measurable outcomes.
