Wellsense VŪ visualizes patient pressure in real time, enabling nurses to effectively offload pressure and confirm the result before leaving the bedside.

Pressure is invisible, so every turn is a best guess.
Pressure often remains high after the turn.
When an injury happens, the nurse takes the blame - with no record of what the pressure was.
Every patient turned by experienced nurses had areas of perisacral skin above elevated pressure thresholds more than 95% of the time.

VGPO is a procedure the nurse performs at every turn. The nurse sees the patient's pressure on the display, turns/repositions the patient to offload it, and confirms
that the measured pressure was offloaded before leaving the bedside.
The display shows the patient's pressure, live.
The nurse turns/repositions using what the display shows. Sometimes a small shift or a pillow is enough.
The nurse confirms that the measured pressure was offloaded before leaving the bedside.
No guessing, no blind turning.
Peer-reviewed studies in U.S. hospitals report fewer hospital-acquired pressure injuries after nurses adopted VGPO.

Hospitals will be accountable for the majority of their pressure injuries - not just the most severe ones.
