Nursing home patients with pressure-relieving mattresses are being moved to standard wheelchairs for extended periods, increasing pressure ulcer risk and complicating incontinence care.

Workarounds Described

• 'park' patients in completely normal wheelchairs with no possibility for adjustment

Implied Software Gaps

• Pressure monitoring system that tracks patient positioning and alerts when pressure redistribution is needed
• Care coordination software that enforces pressure ulcer prevention protocols across bed-to-chair transitions

PressureGuard Mobility

A smart wheelchair cushion system that provides continuous pressure redistribution for at-risk patients when they're out of bed. It uses the same active air-pocket technology as hospital mattresses but in a wheelchair-compatible form, maintaining pressure ulcer prevention protocols throughout the patient's entire day rather than just when they're in bed.
