Project Details

Description

the main objective of the project is to validate an assistance system for the prevention of pressure ulcers and falls in hospitalized patients.

Methodology: the project will be divided into three phases. In the first phase, the system will be designed based on functional and non-functional requirements, which will be obtained from the information collected in the previously developed prototypes.

Based on this information, the design and construction of the device will be carried out (phase 2).

Finally, four validation protocols will be carried out.

Commitments / Obligations

At the end of the project, it is expected to have a system with a technological maturity of level 4-5. In addition, the system can be used in future research in real environments.
