Problem
Pressure ulcers are a significant healthcare challenge, increasing patient mortality rates and leading to litigation. Early detection is difficult, and darker-skinned patients are disproportionately affected, leading to racial disparities in care.
Solution
Pebblesense offers an AI-driven solution for the early, passive detection of pressure ulcers. Their sensor mat, placed on top of hospital beds, continuously monitors the inflammatory status across the skin. The system provides real-time analysis directly to caregivers, alerting them when an ulcer is developing and when a patient needs to be repositioned. This enables smarter workflows and cutting-edge care, helping nurses prevent pressure ulcers before they develop.
Target Audience
The primary target audience is healthcare providers, specifically nurses and hospitals, seeking to improve pressure ulcer prevention and reduce associated risks.
