Abstract

Our project is estimating and reducing the risk of pressure ulcers using bed-sheet-type textile pressure sensors. However, body-pressure dispersion cushions interfere with accurate sensing and cause such problems as indistinct body-pressure changes, blurred body shape, and unmeasurable body-pressure changes. To solve these issues, we implement a garment-type pressure sensor that measures the pressures that are directly added to the human skin. Our sensor successfully detected the body-pressure changes that are overlooked by bed-sheet-type sensors, avoided body-pressure shape vagueness, and measured the pressure increase depending on the body part lift-up by cushion use through an experiment with 20 subjects.
