Abstract
Svasth Healthcare is designing the Comfort Mat System (CMS), which will be able to monitor the conditions responsible for causing bedsores by collecting data from different sensors (pressure, temperature, and humidity sensors) and processing it with a smartphone application and displaying the results in a graphical user interface in real time. Another feature that CMS exhibits is once the collected data meets a preset threshold value, the system can automatically turn on different vibration motors to increase blood circulation in the affected area. It will send a reminder to the user to reposition their body or to the person who is the caretaker for that person. CMS will be integrated with Android and iOS apps, which will allow people to monitor and control the system by using their own smartphone device.
