AW-Shift for Pc

1. AW-Shift (Assisted Weight Shift) provides real-time pressure mapping feedback, weight shift reminders, and high pressure alerts for wheelchair users who are at risk for developing pressure injuries (also known as pressure sores) on their skin.

2. The system provides alerts if pressure increases across the entire mapping area (such as when a cushion deflates without your knowledge) or when high pressure is detected in a specific region.

3. Alerts are different and are provided as a notification and sound/vibration when the pressure mapping system detects pressure higher than the threshold you select.

4. You can record and save pressure map sessions for any duration of time that could be used to compare pressure over time or to detect subtle changes in pressure that may have otherwise gone unnoticed.

5. The live view of the pressure map shows how pressure is distributed in fine detail (256 measurement points) so that it is easy to detect small areas of high pressure, such as under bony areas.

6. Some people want to be alerted to small changes right away, while others may only want to know when there are dramatic, unexpected changes in pressure.

7. *Only those app users with access to the approved pressure mat and it’s accompanying control box can connect to this application using bluetooth.

8. Seeing the pressure through pressure mapping can provide feedback that shows how you relieve pressure when you move.

9. This is especially helpful when the ability to feel pressure is impaired because we tend to move when we sense discomfort.

10. Pressure is measured by a mat that is placed on top of your seat cushion or other surface you are sitting on.

11. Moving relieves pressure and helps keep the skin healthy.
