Development of Facile Pressure Sensors for Prevention of Pressure Ulcers in Paralysis Patients

The development of a robust prototype of pressure sensors that can be integrated into assistive devices for paralyzed patients without disrupting their flow. Also, this outlay illustrates the application of green sensing technologies, which reduce environmental effects. Copper tape-based pressure sensors have a sandwich structure with cloth in between equal pieces of copper tape to be placed on the critical points of the paralysis patient’s body. The probe combination aims to diagnose pressure fluctuations, preventing skin harm. The system triggers an alarm when pressure exceeds the set maximum, showing a buzzer sound, recording the results in a paired mobile app, and then turning the buzzer off as pressure is lowered. This enhances timely positional changes and comfort for patients, reducing pressure ulcers. Thus, the above- mentioned project, which thrives on sustainability, affordability, and durability as the main pillars, can go a long way in serving the importance of patient care.
