What is a pressure ulcer and how can Sensore help prevent it?

A pressure ulcer (also called a bed sore) is skin damage caused by long-term pressure, often in wheelchair users or patients with limited mobility. Sensore devices provide real-time pressure mapping and alerts to reduce the risk of ulcers.

Who should use Sensore devices?

Our solutions are designed for UK wheelchair users, care homes, hospitals, and home care providers looking to reduce the risk of pressure sores and improve patient monitoring.

What is the Waterlow score and why is it important?

The Waterlow score is a clinical tool used in the UK to assess a patient’s risk of developing pressure ulcers. Sensore devices support monitoring and repositioning strategies linked to Waterlow assessments.

How does Sensore’s pressure monitoring system work?

Our graphene-based sensors track real-time pressure distribution. When pressure risks are detected, the system sends alerts so carers can take preventive action.

Can Sensore devices be used in care homes and hospitals?

Yes, our monitoring systems are ideal for care homes, hospitals, and individual wheelchair users. They integrate easily into existing care workflows to support staff and protect patients.

How do Sensore products benefit wheelchair users at home?

Wheelchair users can monitor sitting pressure in real-time, receive risk alerts, and adjust positioning before ulcers form — helping them stay safe and independent at home.

What makes Sensore different from other medical devices?

We use advanced graphene trace technology for ultra-thin, accurate sensors that provide real-time data. Our focus is on prevention, patient comfort, and UK healthcare compliance.

Where is Sensore Health based?

Sensore Health is based in Chelmsford, United Kingdom, and serves wheelchair users, care homes, and healthcare providers across the UK.
