An evaluation of continuous pressure monitoring in the community to support posture, mobility and pressure ulcer prevention strategies
The SEAMLESS team have been undertaking an evaluation of Continuous Pressure Monitoring Technology for Pressure Ulcer Prevention. This includes realist evaluation across 4 community sites, co-design of new innovations through Appreciative Inquiry and a final human factors clinical trial exploring implementation of the technology.
The team have developed a number of tools to support its use in practice, including training, implementation guides and novel algorithms which predict posture, mobility and pressure exposure to aid clinical decisions. The studies have revealed the power of biofeedback to support shared decisions and the key steps that are required to support technology integration into community practice settings.
