Pressure ulcers affect over 2.5 million Americans annually, costing the healthcare system approximately $11 billion USD each year. These painful, potentially life-threatening wounds significantly impact patient quality of life and can lead to severe complications. The burden on healthcare workers, especially nurses, is immense. Current prevention methods require repositioning patients every two hours, which is time-consuming and can cause physical strain on already overworked caregivers. With healthcare staff shortages and burnout rates at critical levels, there's an urgent need for an innovative solution that can both improve patient outcomes and alleviate the workload on healthcare professionals.
StimSense is an innovative pressure ulcer prevention system addressing a critical healthcare issue affecting 2.5 million Americans annually. It uses a sensor-integrated patch to monitor multiple data points, informing a smart algorithm that activates strategic interventions like pneumatic pressure relief and electrical muscle stimulation. Uniquely integrating with electronic health records, StimSense enhances care coordination while reducing burdens on healthcare workers. This system improves patient outcomes through real-time interventions and cushioned interfaces, offering an efficient solution to pressure ulcer care and promoting more equitable healthcare delivery.
