[0002] Most of the existing pressure sore detection and warning devices use pressure sensors to monitor local pressure. By setting the pressure threshold, an alarm is issued when the pressure in a certain area continues to exceed the set value. This type of technology has the following shortcomings: Single monitoring dimension: relying only on pressure sensors, it is impossible to evaluate the changes in blood oxygen saturation and blood flow in the tissue under the skin in real time, and there is a lag in the identification of early pressure sore risks. Lack of automated intervention measures: Existing equipment mainly provides alarm functions and cannot dynamically initiate preventive measures (such as turning over, massage, etc.) according to the risk of pressure sores. Users need to operate manually, which increases the burden of care. Limited applicability: Existing equipment is usually independent of mattresses or cushions and is difficult to embed and use, resulting in reduced patient comfort and poor equipment adaptability.

[0003] Through the above analysis, the problems and defects of the prior art are as follows:

[0004] (1) Single monitoring dimension: Relying only on pressure sensors, it is impossible to evaluate the changes in blood oxygen saturation and blood flow in the subcutaneous tissue in real time, and there is a lag in the identification of early pressure ulcer risks.

[0005] (2) Lack of automated intervention measures: Existing equipment mainly provides alarm functions and cannot dynamically initiate preventive measures (such as turning over, massage, etc.) based on the risk of pressure ulcers. Users need to operate manually, which increases the burden of care.

[0006] (3) Limited applicability: Existing devices are usually independent of mattresses or cushions and difficult to embed for use, resulting in reduced patient comfort and poor device adaptability. Summary of the invention

[0230] 4. Automatic intervention:

[0231] Start the turning device: adjust the patient's position through the mechanical drive module to reduce local pressure.

[0232] Start the massage module: perform targeted massage on high-risk areas to promote blood circulation and reduce the risk of pressure sores.

[0233] 5. Status monitoring and feedback:

[0234] Continuously monitor changes in local pressure and blood flow after turning over or massaging, and adjust intervention intensity and frequency based on new data to ensure effectiveness.

[0235] 6. Remote care support:

[0242] II. Evidence of the Technical Effects Obtained by the Embodiments of the Present Invention

[0243] 1. Effectively prevent pressure sores: Through the precise monitoring and real-time data analysis of distributed embedded sensors, the system can detect abnormal changes in local blood circulation before pressure sores occur, thereby triggering early warning and intervention measures, significantly reducing the incidence of pressure sores. Experimental data show that the incidence of pressure sores in patients using this system has dropped by about 70%.

[0244] 2. Improve nursing quality: This system automatically realizes local pressure monitoring, data analysis, early warning and intervention, which reduces the number of frequent turning interventions of patients by nursing staff and reduces the nursing workload. At the same time, it improves the accuracy and pertinence of nursing through data visualization reports.

[0245] 3. Improve patient comfort and rehabilitation effect: Through the dynamic intervention of the massage module and the turning device, the local pressure and discomfort caused by long-term bed rest are relieved. The experimental results show that the system effectively promotes local blood circulation, and the blood oxygen saturation index is significantly improved after intervention (an average increase of more than 10%).

[0246] 4. Efficient remote nursing support: Through the remote alarm and data push functions of the communication module, nursing staff can understand the patient's condition in real time and take corresponding measures. Especially when nursing resources are limited, remote support significantly improves the efficiency and coverage of medical services.
