Development of Medical Care Mat for a Prevention of Bedsore

Abstract

In this study, we have developed a mat which has a function to prevent bedsore. In order to distribute the pressure applied to the body, we have proposed a body pressure distribution strategy by using 24 mats driven independently. And the effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed through some experiments. In this paper, first of all, the structure of the Medical Care Mat is shown, Afterwards, the effectiveness of the propose method is confirmed through experiment.
