The purpose of this application is to aid the user in the identification of skin conditions common to wrestlers. The user - a coach, trainer, nurse, parent, wrestler, referee - will normally be confronted with some type of skin abnormality, perhaps an infection. It is known that most skin conditions present themselves at certain regions of the body. Therefore, the user will be presented a map of the body, from which the user will select the location of the wrestler's skin abnormality. The user will be presented with a gallery of photos associated with that location on the body. Each photo is linked to only one skin condition. One skin condition can link to many photos. The user can select from the gallery a photo that most closely matches the wrestler's condition. The user can then center, zoom in/out, to observe different parts of the photo. From the photo the user has the option to view a description of the condition linked to the photo or go back to the gallery to select a different photo. The use of this app is to assist the user in diagnosing an infectious skin condition. It's usage is at the discretion of the end user and should never replace the relationship you have with or opinion of your physician.

The SmartCuffs app is designed to connect to your SmartCuffs 4.0 devices. Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training is a technique in which combines low-intensity exercise under reduced arterial flow conditions. BFR is quantifiably and objectively reducing the amount of blood flow into an extremity by using a specially made medical tourniquet. BFR allows individuals to use low loads yet achieve results similar to high intensity training. The SmartCuffs 4.0 is the only wireless BFR cuff in the world that contains our TriPressure technology. This allows for 3 types of evidenced-based, research supported BFR (continuous, intermittent, and resting BFR).
