Wellsense Technologies

Wellsense Technologies Overview

Wellsense Technologies is the developer of a real-time, continuous bedside-monitoring device that displays the areas where a patient is developing high-pressure points that lead to bedsores. The device consists of a pressure-sensing mat that is placed on the bed and wired to a monitor, providing color-coded visual feedback for repositioning patients so that pressure points on the body are consistently rotated. The system can be customized for each facility and patient. The companys sensor technology offers a flexible and affordable intelligent textile that can visualize real-time interface pressure readings. Its technology provides a comprehensive and intuitive method for caregivers to enhance patient safety and dramatically reduce the likelihood of facility-acquired pressure ulcers. Wellsense has also developed VU, an advanced pressure-visualization system that provides the visual and evaluative feedback required to effectively reposition patients and redistribute pressure with certainty.

World's first bedsore monitoring system

Hospitals in the US are installing the MAP (Monitor Alert Protect) system, developed by Israeli company Wellsense, to prevent bedsores. The system consists of a pressure-sensing mat and a monitor that provides real-time feedback on pressure points, allowing for repositioning of patients. The Mayo Clinic is among the hospitals that have adopted the technology. Bedsores cost the US healthcare system an estimated $12 billion annually. MAP has been proven effective in reducing the incidence of bedsores, and the company is looking to expand its distribution globally. The system will also be introduced to the home-care market and will become wireless in the future.

Wellsense Unveils First-Ever Bedside Patient Pressure Mapping System Designed to Assist Caregivers in Effectively Repositioning Patients

Wellsense USA, a pioneer of bedside smart textile technology, unveiled the M.A.P. System at a healthcare conference. The M.A.P. System helps prevent pressure ulcers in non-ambulatory patients by using pressure sensors and real-time monitoring. The system provides color-coded images to guide caregivers in repositioning patients and alerts them when repositioning is due. The system has the potential to save healthcare systems millions of dollars and avoid reimbursement penalties. Early testing has shown positive results, and Wellsense plans to conduct clinical trials at multiple sites. Future advancements may include additional sensing capabilities and a predictive algorithm for fall prevention. Wellsense was founded in 2009 by Ran Poliakine.
