METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING A RISK OF ULCER ONSET

摘要

A system for determining a risk of pressure ulcer onset on a subject being in contact with a supporting-surface, the system comprising: an arrangement of sensors, located at predetermined locations between the supporting-surface and the subject; and a data processor for receiving and processing data sensed by the sensors; the sensors and the data processor being designed and programmed for determining the risk of pressure ulcer onset on the subject being in contact with the supporting-surface.
