Abstract

Pressure Injury is a type of skin injury that often affects bedridden patients with impaired mobility, especially the elderly. Despite the emphasis on prevention methods, population aging and increased life expectancy naturally contribute to the increase in the number of cases each year. Thus, in this work, it is proposed the development of a system with the functions of monitoring the bed position of the patient in real time, timing inertia and alerting the correct moment for the patient repositioning, in order to help correct execution of the decubitus change protocol (lying position). The system information will be available via web interface, with a three-dimensional image generated through the data collected in the automatic tracking of the patient's position.
