Official Title: Effectiveness of a Pressure-sensing System to Reduce the Risk of Pressure Ulcer Formation by Lowering Interface Pressure in Vulnerable Patient Populations: A Parallel-two-
Brief Summary: Pressure ulcers are prevalent conditions that result in substantial financial costs to the healthcare system as well as significant distress to affected patients and their families. This study is a parallel two-group randomized controlled trial that aims to study how the use of a pressure sensing device with continuous visual feedback of pressure imaging may potentially decrease the interface pressure of patients who are at risk of pressure ulcers in an acute hospital setting.
