🔬 Spotlight: Tools Advancing Pressure Injury Prevention
As pressure injury care evolves, so does the technology that supports prevention and early intervention. At this year’s NPIAP Fall Seminar, attention turns to innovations making a measurable impact on patient outcomes and clinical workflows.
Featured Technologies:
- Smart Sensor Mats: Pressure-redistribution mats with integrated sensors provide real-time feedback on patient positioning, helping staff prevent prolonged pressure and improve repositioning adherence.
- Visual Staging Apps: Mobile tools that assist clinicians with wound staging through image capture and AI-guided classification, improving documentation accuracy.
- Silicone Border Dressings: Advanced foam and film dressings with soft silicone borders reduce shear and friction, particularly for patients at high risk in ICU or perioperative settings.
- Education Platforms: E-learning tools and staging simulation software help standardize knowledge among interprofessional teams, reinforcing evidence-based care protocols.
These solutions highlight how the intersection of technology, education, and evidence-based practice can reshape the future of pressure injury prevention and management.
