A smart dressing for monitoring, preventing and treating pressure ulcers.
PressureAlert® is a bedside pressure ulcer monitoring system. The PressureAlert® system is composed of an app that is downloadable for free on your smart device along with a smart dressing used to measure pressure on at-risk areas to prevent pressure ulcers from forming, and help to heal pre-existing ulcers on the body. The PressureAlert® system has the capabilities to monitor, track, and provide alerts to the patient or the caregiver to indicate a pressure ulcer could form or to reposition the patient before they experience excessive or prolonged pressure to an area of the body. The PressureAlert® smart dressing can be used as dressing which is applied over an at-risk area or as a secondary dressing over a pre-existing wound. The PressureAlert® smart dressing connects to the app via low-frequency Bluetooth signals that are used to deliver alerts (sound, vibration, or voice). Each patient can be paired with up to eleven different at-risk sites on the body, and this data is stored in our optional cloud portal or localized to the smart device. The localized storage of the data is optional to android devices only.
