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.

Note from the founder

Sensore was born from a simple but urgent need: to make pressure ulcer prevention easier, smarter, and more accessible for everyone.

Pressure ulcers are largely preventable, yet they remain a serious and costly issue for individuals and healthcare systems alike. With Sensore, we set out to create a tool that could quietly and reliably monitor, predict and prevent pressure ulcers before they form. Sensore is designed to support independence, improve comfort and empower better care decisions at home, in clinical settings, or on the go.

This has been a truly collaborative journey, shaped by valuable input from wheelchair users, carers, and healthcare professionals. We’ve worked hard to ensure that Sensore is not just technically innovative, but genuinely useful and easy to live with.

Thank you for your interest in Sensore. We’re proud of what we’ve built so far - and we’re just getting started.
