    Sensor-Based Prevention of Pressure Ulcers: Weight Offloading Detection and Prompting Mechanism Verification
    Author(s): Arshia A. Khan*, Yumna Anwar and Nam Phung

    Spinal cord Injury can have a debilitating and traumatic effect on affected individuals. The impact is far reaching, including emotional, physical, economic, and social. This impact id not only on the affected individuals, but also their family members, caregivers and the society as well. Prevalence of pressure ulcers was found to be 33.9% in patients with quadriplegia, 47.4% in patients with paraplegia, and 9.6% in patients who had hemiplegia. Pressure ulcers are a debilitating and undesirable complication of traumatic spinal cord injury that can be prevented using wearable sensors and mobile devices. Weight offloading is one of the recommended solutions to prevent pressure ulcers. Our team designed and developed a mobile application that was tied to a pressure sensor mat, used to track and monitor weight offloading. Our sensor-based system was designed to measure two outcomes-.. Read More»
