The term “Patient Safety” aptly describes XSENSOR’s focused positioning in the medical industry. The reason for the change in market terms from "Medical" to "Patient Safety" is to more accurately reflect the area within the medical community where we work and where the majority of our customers use our products,” says Aaron Chronik, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of XSENSOR Technology Corporation. “Almost all of our ‘medical’ work is focused on meeting the needs of institutions that use our seat and bed systems to help prevent pressure ulcers.”

Focused on Patient Safety

More and more clinicians, nurses, and rehabilitation specialists are using XSENSOR pressure imaging systems to help prevent pressure ulcers in patients. The advanced, easy-to-use features of the XSENSOR system helps them improve surface selection and patient positioning on wheelchairs and hospital beds, which in turn improves patient safety. A valuable tool for wound care, pressure imaging provides the following benefits:

Pressure Wound Prevention
Pressure mapping helps clinicians adjust seating posture, optimize balance and stability, and prescribe seating and bedding surfaces for their clients, all of which helps mitigate the risk of developing pressure wounds. Pressure wounds are a significant threat to patient safety and a preventable cost to the health care system.

Improved Patient Education and Compliance
By sharing visual information, patients have a better understanding of how their actions impact their well-being and are more likely to comply with prescribed recommendations. The X3 DISPLAY handheld system provides on-the-spot patient education that can highlight appropriate pressure relief techniques, tilt-in-space wheelchair positioning, and alternative strategies for weight shifting.

Clinicians Save Time & Make Informed Decisions
With the help of pressure imaging, clinicians are able to quantify patient assessments and, thus, make better decisions more quickly.
