Wellsense VŪ

See. Offload. Confirm.

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

Nurse at a patient's bedside
The problem

Nurses turn patients around the clock, at a heavy cost in time and physical strain.

Assessment without insight

Pressure is invisible, so every turn is a best guess.

Effort without result

Pressure often remains high after the turn.

Accountability without visibility

When an injury happens, the nurse takes the blame - with no record of what the pressure was.

Nurses turning a patient
The evidence on turning

Turning alone doesn't show whether pressure came off.

Every patient turned by experienced nurses had areas of perisacral skin above elevated pressure thresholds more than 95% of the time.

The procedure

Visually Guided Pressure Offloading (VGPO)

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.

Turning/repositioning never had that. Until now.

How it works

Three steps at every turn.

SEE

The display shows the patient's pressure, live.

OFFLOAD

The nurse turns/repositions using what the display shows. Sometimes a small shift or a pillow is enough.

CONFIRM

The nurse confirms that the measured pressure was offloaded before leaving the bedside.

For the first time, nurses can see pressure.

No guessing, no blind turning.

  • Real-time pressure across the whole bed
  • Pressure history to review
  • User-configurable turning/repositioning reminders

Beginning January 2028, Stage 2 and deep tissue injuries become reportable.

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