Arduino Nano Flex Sensor Glove: Physiotherapy Compliance Tracker Kit
Arduino Nano Flex Sensor Glove: Physiotherapy Compliance Tracker Kit
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
In physiotherapy, hand rehabilitation after injury or surgery demands consistent exercise, yet compliance is notoriously difficult to verify between clinic visits. This kit enables you to build a smart glove that uses four flex sensors to capture joint angles for each finger, logs the time-stamped data via an MPU6050 inertial unit and a real-time clock, and stores everything on a microSD card. Move beyond paper diaries-deliver an objective, wearable data logger that physiotherapists and researchers can rely on.
What You'll Build
You will assemble and program a calibrated glove that measures flexion for all four fingers, displays real-time angle readings on an OLED screen, and records every movement to a CSV file with sub-second timestamps. The built prototype sits comfortably on the hand, runs on a rechargeable LiPo battery, and provides immediate visual feedback during exercise sessions, while the logged data can be analysed later for range-of-motion progress and compliance trends.
What You'll Learn
- Calibrate multiple flex sensors using voltage dividers and map resistances to accurate bend angles
- Fuse MPU6050 accelerometer and gyroscope data to add wrist orientation context to finger logs
- Integrate a DS3231 real-time clock for precise timestamping and session management
- Write robust data-logging firmware that structures readings into CSV files on a microSD card

Who This Kit Is For
B.Tech students in ECE, EEE, or biomedical engineering will find this an ideal final-year capstone project or Smart India Hackathon entry. The advanced sensor fusion and data logging align with research prototypes at IITs, NITs, VIT, and BITS Pilani. Physiotherapy clinics and ATL Tinkering Labs experimenting with low-cost wearable health monitors can also immediately benefit from the pre-assembled sensor glove platform.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project - accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Our AI companion offers step-by-step debugging and calibration help specific to this glove. If you need a human, message us on WhatsApp-we typically reply within a few hours.
How do I calibrate the flex sensors for accurate angles?
The companion walks you through a calibration sequence: attach sensors to the glove, bend fingers to known angles, and record the ADC values. A lookup table or regression formula is generated automatically in the sample code.
Do I need soldering experience?
Yes, the kit includes a soldering iron and solder wire. All components mount on prototyping PCBs with clear wiring diagrams; the AI companion also includes soldering tips and visual guides for proper joints.
Can I view the data in real time without removing the microSD card?
The OLED displays current joint angles and a session timer. To see full trend graphs, transfer the CSV file from the microSD; the companion provides a Python script to plot range-of-motion over time.
