Abstract
This research focuses on developing an intelligent air mattress prototype based on commercially available alternating pressure air mattresses to prevent pressure ulcers. Force-sensitive resistors (FSRs) are installed under each air cell to measure interface pressure values occurring at different parts of the body. These collected values are then used to create pressure maps, indicating areas of high overpressure. The prototype incorporates a smart pneumatic control system divided into seven functional areas: head, back, waist, buttocks, thighs, calves, and heels. All operations are performed using LabVIEW software.
