Development of an electropneumatic bed that operates using pressure redistribution as a means of preventing pressure ulcer formation in long-term hospitalized patients. The bed continuously alternates support points between the mattresses and the patient, relieving pressure points and delaying the wound formation process. The system control is managed by a mobile application that determines the optimal working frequency for each patient, based on information input by healthcare professionals. The bed was originally conceived by Dr. Pedro Paulo Silva, a collaborating physician at the eHealth Innovation Center, with a system of raising and lowering two independent sets of mattresses. The original system has been optimized for better adaptation to the hospital environment and patient comfort.

摘要

Development of an electropneumatic bed that operates using pressure redistribution as a means of preventing pressure ulcer formation in long-term hospitalized patients. The bed continuously alternates support points between the mattresses and the patient, relieving pressure points and delaying the wound formation process. The system control is managed by a mobile application that determines the optimal working frequency for each patient, based on information input by healthcare professionals. The bed was originally conceived by Dr. Pedro Paulo Silva, a collaborating physician at the eHealth Innovation Center, with a system of raising and lowering two independent sets of mattresses. The original system has been optimized for better adaptation to the hospital environment and patient comfort.
