Spending too much time in bed isn't good. It could lead to some serious medical conditions, one of it being bedsores. The MAP System will help eradicate all of that.

It is a pressure sensing mat that helps prevent pressure ulcers from happening. The system was designed for use in hospitals and long term care facilities. MAP - stands for monitor, alert, protect, is a special mat outfitted with thousands of sensors that measure the pressure of someone lying on a mattress on top of it.

The information is relayed to a handheld monitoring unit which indicates areas of high, prolonged pressure and recommends when they need to be moved, or be moved to keep bedsores away. [The MAP System via Gizmag]
