Human head analysis for mass customisation in medical design: A pilot study

Jonathan Binder, Ertu Unver, Omar Ivan Huerta Cardoso

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Scalp cooling is a clinically proven treatment for addressing chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA). Previous studies show that the efficacy of this treatment relies on accurate cranial data so that designers can produce close-fitting scalp cooling caps. The cephalic index is often used, but are that data still accurate? We conducted a pilot study to explore mass customisation of scalp cooling caps.
