L2M – Prevention Technology for Pressure Injuries

We are addressing the widespread issue of pressure injuries—a chronic wound affecting millions—with our innovative solution, the Smart Sheet. This soft, flexible, and stretchable sensor array is designed for precise pressure and shear detection. What sets us apart is the Smart Sheet’s unique ability to seamlessly conform to various shapes and contours, providing accurate and continuous measurements over extended periods within the desired pressure ranges. Our primary focus is on wheelchair users and bedridden individuals, especially in the spinal cord injury and geriatric population. The Smart Sheet revolutionizes pressure injury prevention with its cost-effectiveness and adaptability, predicting high-risk areas and formation times. By alerting users and healthcare professionals for timely intervention, it offers a user-friendly, proactive approach to enhance the quality of life for those vulnerable to pressure injuries, making a meaningful impact on healthcare and overall well-being.
