A Wearable Device to Inform Pressure Injury Prevention Support Surfaces Selection and Design
Pressure injuries are a preventable but persistent medical challenge, with 2.5 million Americans developing pressure injuries each year. Pressure injuries are uniquely challenging to manage for wheelchair users, who have to sit for extended periods of time, up to 10-12 hours per day. Measuring the i...
