Bedsores, or pressure ulcers, affect millions of patients each year and represent a major challenge in todays healthcare. They develop when prolonged pressure restricts blood flow to the skin, leading to pain, infections, and extended hospital stays. Temperature and humidity are also important in how fast the tissue damage can develop.

Our team at SM Solutions is addressing this issue with a new approach — a mattress that can measure pressure, temperature and humidity in real time. The results can then be visualized through color-coded heatmaps. The device is continuously analyzing the measurements to calculate the risk factor at over 1500 point under the patient. With this device caregivers can act before tissue damage begins, improving both patient safety and care efficiency.
