Preventing pressure ulcers by increasing pressure: An unorthodox alternating-pressure mattress.

Science robotics
Despite the devastating effects of pressure ulcers (PUs), little is understood about how they can be prevented using alternating-pressure (AP) mattresses. Such mattresses typically aim to minimize the pressures imparted while alternating between diff...

Robotic beds for the treatment of positional obstructive sleep apnea - A randomized cross-over pilot trial.

Sleep medicine
BACKGROUND: Interventions leading to avoidance of supine position and thus reducing the likelihood of upper airway collapse during sleep are a treatment approach for positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA). The aim of this randomized cross-over tri...

Using Inertial Measurement Units and Machine Learning to Classify Body Positions of Adults in a Hospital Bed.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In hospitals, timely interventions can prevent avoidable clinical deterioration. Early recognition of deterioration is vital to stopping further decline. Measuring the way patients position themselves in bed and change their positions may signal when...

Implementing AI-Driven Bed Sensors: Perspectives from Interdisciplinary Teams in Geriatric Care.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Sleep is a crucial aspect of geriatric assessment for hospitalized older adults, and implementing AI-driven technology for sleep monitoring can significantly enhance the rehabilitation process. Sleepsense, an AI-driven sleep-tracking device, provides...

Preventing postoperative moderate- and high-risk pressure injuries with artificial intelligence-powered smart decompression mattress on in middle-aged and elderly patients: a retrospective cohort analysis.

British journal of hospital medicine (London, England : 2005)
Artificial intelligence technology has attained rapid development in recent years. The integration of artificial intelligence applications into pressure reduction mattresses, giving rise to artificial intelligence-powered pressure reduction mattress...

Classification of health deterioration by geometric invariants.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Prediction of patient deterioration is essential in medical care, and its automation may reduce the risk of patient death. The precise monitoring of a patient's medical state requires devices placed on the body, which may c...

Prediction of Body Weight of a Person Lying on a Smart Mat in Nonrestraint and Unconsciousness Conditions.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
We want to predict body weight while lying in bed for an elderly patient who is unable to move by himself/herself. To this end, we have implemented a prototype system that estimates the body weight of a person lying on a smart mat in nonrestraint and...

Development of Invisible Sensors and a Machine-Learning-Based Recognition System Used for Early Prediction of Discontinuous Bed-Leaving Behavior Patterns.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This paper presents a novel bed-leaving sensor system for real-time recognition of bed-leaving behavior patterns. The proposed system comprises five pad sensors installed on a bed, a rail sensor inserted in a safety rail, and a behavior pattern recog...

A system for bedside assistance that integrates a robotic bed and a mobile manipulator.

PloS one
Various situations, such as injuries or long-term disabilities, can result in people receiving physical assistance while in bed. We present a robotic system for bedside assistance that consists of a robotic bed and a mobile manipulator (i.e., a wheel...

Artificial Neural Network for in-Bed Posture Classification Using Bed-Sheet Pressure Sensors.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Pressure ulcer prevention is a vital procedure for patients undergoing long-term hospitalization. A human body lying posture (HBLP) monitoring system is essential to reschedule posture change for patients. Video surveillance, the conventional method ...
