Wireless Pressure Ulcer Prevention Device
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerPressure ulcers are a common problem in current hospital settings. This project created a system to detect the early onset of pressure ulcers and alert a caregiver. Three different physiological factors, known to contribute to the formation of pressure ulcers, can be continuously measured via a disposable adhesive patch and wirelessly transmitted to a computer interface. The user interface instructs a clinician to input additional physiological factors, not locally measured, which indicate the risk of local ulcer formation.
