Portuguese technology prevents the appearance of bedsores in bedridden patients.
New microelectronic device developed to prevent bedsores
Small, light and simple. These are the three key characteristics of MovinSense, a microelectronic device developed by Tomorrow Options, a spin-off from INESC TEC (Technology and Science)/FEUP. The device is placed on the chest of the bedridden patient with limited mobility and it registers their position, communicating with nursing equipment via wireless. MovinSense makes nursing staff aware of the need to reposition the patient which is a task that must be conducted, on average, at least every two hours but it varies according to the patient's condition.
