摘要：

Pressure ulcers are skin lesions that affect seriously the patient's quality of life. This pathology is caused by low pressure application during a long period of time over bony preeminence or, in another way, high pressure application for a short period. This paper describes the initial prototype of a textile based technological solution to perform real time control of the anatomical position of bedridden patients suffering from pressure ulcers. For this purpose the authors developed an elctrotextile system with an integrated sensing layer that captures the anatomical position of the body along time and communicates with a PC to inform healthcare personnel about the necessity of changing and pressure relief.
