Sensor-enabled wearables are HERE!

The Leaf Patient Monitoring System, addresses bed sores, or more officially
pressure ulcers, caused by the lack of motion in bedridden patients,
including those who are paralyzed, sedated and comatose.

To reduce that cost, the Leaf system uses a tri-axial accelerometer to
accurately monitor the patient’s position and movement and wirelessly
communicates the data for action by a caregiver. Mounted on the patient’s
chest, the disposable sensor provides alerts for the need to turn the patient
and confirms that action. It also ensures that sufficient tissue
depressurization occurs between turns to prevent pressure ulcers.
