AugmenTech建议开发低成本无线仪器， 老年护理对翻身次数和持续时间的监测 卧床不起和临床上有发展风险的家庭居民 褥疮的症状 这种仪器应有助于 更好地诊断“高危”居民， 一项针对那些被认为风险最大的居民的转向计划。 在第一阶段，我们将验证研究级的有效性， 手表大小，患者佩戴的遥测系统，以检测养老院 在夜间，居民的身体轮流-两个轮流自发启动 由居民和那些由护理助理发起的， 干预方案。 我们还将继续调查我们的 仪器可以区分真正需要转向的居民 干预，以防止皮肤溃疡的发展， 这些计划是浪费的或适得其反的。 此外，在第一阶段，我们将开发一个原型低成本传感器， 无线传感器遥测系统的商业化。 我们将 完善一个待测试的预商用系统所需的功能列表 在阶段2中，如果阶段2 参阅会议过程

AugmenTech proposes to develop low cost, wireless instrumentation to monitor the frequency and duration of body turning by elderly nursing home residents who are bedfast and clinically at risk for the development of pressure sores. This instrumentation should facilitate both the better diagnosis of 'at risk' residents and the improved management of a turning program once initiated for those residents deemed most at risk. During phase 1, we will validate the effectiveness of a research-grade, wristwatch size, patient worn telemetry system to detect nursing home resident body turns during the night - both turns initiated spontaneously by the residents and those initiated by nursing aides as part of intervention programs. We will also continue investigating whether our instrumentation can distinguish between residents who truly need turning intervention to prevent the development of skin ulcers and those for whom such programs are wasteful or counterproductive. Also during phase 1, we will develop a prototype low cost sensor for the commercialization of the wireless sensor telemetry system. We will refine a list of features needed for a pre-commercial system to be tested in phase 2 and solicit invitations to test this technology if phase 2 is approved.
