Sensore Awarded ICP Grant with University of Southampton

We’re delighted to share that Sensore has been awarded grant funding by Henry Royce Institute ICP6 to support our joint project with the University of Southampton & Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust: Developing a Patient-Centred Health Model for Pressure Ulcer Prediction & Prevention.

This project will fund the development of an automated pressure ulcer risk alert within the Sensore App: combining continuous pressure sensing, time-series machine learning, user-centred design and human factors work to help translate complex pressure data into understandable, actionable prompts for people at risk, carers and clinicians.

Pressure ulcers remain a major and largely preventable patient safety issue, particularly for wheelchair users and people spending prolonged periods seated. Our goal is to move beyond one-off pressure mapping assessments and towards continuous, personalised, prevention-first support in real-world settings.

A special thank you to Peter Worsley, Silvia Caggiari, Nicci Aylward-Wotton and the wider team for their collaboration, and to the Henry Royce Institute for supporting translational materials innovation in future healthcare.
