Sensor Fabric, Big Data Could Help End Pressure Injuries for Wheelchair Users

At least half of veterans with spinal cord injuries will develop sores on their skin from the unrelieved pressure of sitting for long periods of time in a wheelchair. It’s a constant worry, because these skin ulcers can greatly limit patients’ mobility. Along with Principal Research Scientist Sungmee Park, the School of Materials Science and Engineering's Sundaresan Jayaraman has designed fabric with a network of embedded sensors that covers the seat of a wheelchair. A companion smartphone app developed in the lab allows users to override the system to maintain comfort and stability.
