This study presents the design, fabrication, and experimental evaluation of an innovative Induction Hot Pack (IHP) for localized heat therapy applications. The proposed device utilizes electromagnetic induction principles to generate and transfer heat to targeted areas, offering a portable and efficient solution for pain relief and therapeutic purposes. The design process involves the integration of induction heating elements, temperature control mechanisms, and a user-friendly interface for optimal usability. The fabrication methodology employs advanced materials and engineering techniques to ensure durability, safety, and performance. Experimental evaluations include thermal efficiency tests, temperature profiling, and user satisfaction surveys to assess the IHP’s effectiveness in providing consistent and controlled heat for therapeutic applications. Results demonstrate the IHP’s capability to deliver precise and customizable heat therapy, highlighting its potential as a reliable and convenient tool for pain management and rehabilitation. The findings from this research contribute to the advancement of portable heating devices and pave the way for future developments in the field of medical and wellness technology.
