A new microelectronic device will help nursing staff prevent the appearance of bedsores in patients with limited mobility. Monitoring 10 bedridden patients using the microelectronic device MovinSense requires close to 30% of the investment needed to buy 10 mattresses with pressure sensors, which is the current most common method of preventing bedsores.
