SenCere Medical is a medical device company developing a new generation of products in pressure ulcer preventive care. SenCere’s product development is based on caregiver feedback and research in the physiological mechanisms behind the onset of pressure ulcers.
SenCere is developing a product that warns a user when the local pressure dose has become harmful, which in turn warns for needed preventive measures. SenCere’s products will lessen costs, suffering and death related to at risk pressure ulcer patients.
Solution
Personal Pressure Monitor System
SenCere offers a non-invasive medical device for presure ulcer prevention. The only effective cure for pressure ulcers is to reposition or unload the weight so that the soft tissue under the load can revive itself. Since immobilized patients often have various degrees of damaged neural function to their low extremities, they cannot feel when pressure unloading is needed. The innovation senses when a pressure level is dangerously high and warns the patient or care-giver of the need to unload the weight. Thus, the immobilized patients diagnosed as at-risk patients for pressure ulcers and health care providers can feel reassured that their care has a direct effect.
