Preventing HAPIs with a wearable device
The 2.5 million patients in the US who develop hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) every year cost the nation's healthcare system billions of dollars. However, a wearable device is significantly reducing the risk of PIs compared to standard of care.
A tiny, wearable monitoring device has demonstrated a 94% reduction in the risk of pressure injury, compared to the standard of care. This brief summary covers findings from a meta-analysis of nearly 4,000 patients.
