Pressure sores are a problem that affect those with limited mobility, such diabetics, the elderly, and those with spinal cord injuries. It is a condition that can lead to weeks or months of treatment and bed rest, as well as the disruption of daily activities. The Pressure Assistant is a small device and sensor that easily mounts to any type of wheelchair and constantly monitors how long a user has been sitting in one place. A progress bar gives visual feedback and allows a user to see how long theyve been sitting. When a person has been sitting for too long, an alarm sounds and continues until a pressure release is performed. Once completed, the alarm automatically turns off and the timer resets.
