Wellsense Technologies is the developer of a real-time, continuous bedside-monitoring device that displays the areas where a patient is developing high-pressure points that lead to bedsores.The device consists of a pressure-sensing mat that is placed on the bed and wired to a monitor, providing color-coded visual feedback for repositioning patients so that pressure points on the body are consistently rotated.

The system can be customized for each facility and patient.The companys sensor technology offers a flexible and affordable intelligent textile that can visualize real-time interface pressure readings.

Its technology provides a comprehensive and intuitive method for caregivers to enhance patient safety and dramatically reduce the likelihood of facility-acquired pressure ulcers.Wellsense has also developed VU, an advanced pressure-visualization system that provides the visual and evaluative feedback required to effectively reposition patients and redistribute pressure with certainty.
