摘要

A method and apparatus for the prevention of pressure sores at an unfeeling part of a person's body involves applying to the unfeeling part of the person's body a pressure-sensor cell which senses the pressure thereat, applying to a feeling part of the person's body a discomfort-generator cell, and connecting the pressure-sensor cell to the discomfort-generator cell such that the pressure sensed by the former at the unfeeling part of the person's body is transmitted by the latter to the feeling part of the person's body.
