Pressure ulcers are a significant burden on healthcare providers, accounting for 4% of annual health spending in the UK despite the fact that 80-95% are avoidable. Prevention of all avoidable pressure ulcers could save health providers in the UK up to £2.1billion per year. Our mission is to empower wheelchair users and hospitals to protect against pressure ulcers. We are developing a smart pressure sensing fabric that continuously monitors user pressure distribution and alerts when and how to reposition when at increased risk of developing a pressure ulcer. We are bringing together experts in advanced materials, product design and artificial intelligence to co-design with users and clinicians. Find out more at graphenetrace.com
