The aim of the project is to develop a sensory monitoring system for pressure caused by a seated wheelchair user at the touch points, preventing the development of pressure sores with emphasis on low cost, versatility and reliability.
New pressure-sensitive materials will be used, which will be sewn into the coating of the seating or support system or applied to the fixed part of the system. An evaluation unit will measure the load level and warn if the limit values are exceeded. The data can be evaluated in a software application.
