Problem
Patients with limited mobility are at high risk of developing pressure ulcers (bedsores) due to prolonged pressure on specific body areas. Consistent repositioning is crucial for prevention, but manual monitoring is labor-intensive and prone to delays, especially in home care settings.

The system detects areas at risk of pressure injury in real-time, enabling timely intervention and preventative measures. Notifications are sent to caregivers via a connected device, facilitating prompt assistance and improving patient comfort. The mattress cover is designed for use in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and home care environments.
