Patent Images
1. A patient visualization system in connection with pressure injuries comprising:
- a computer communicatively coupled to a pressure sensor device and having non-transitory memory for storing machine instructions that are to be executed by the computer, the machine instructions when executed by the computer implement the following functions;
receive pressure sensor data experienced by a subject lying upon the pressure sensor device and at locations on the pressure sensor device;
determine a body position of the subject based on the pressure sensor data, a body position algorithm, and a number of body positions;
associate the pressure sensor data to a number of body areas of the subject based on the body position, the associated sensor data includes sensor data indicative of an absence of pressure sensor data in connection with one or more of the number of body areas;
determine pressure experienced by the number of body areas of the subject over a period of time based on the associated sensor data; and
format the pressure experienced by the number of body areas of the subject over a period of time for display to a caregiver.

Abstract
A patient visualization system having a processor may be communicatively coupled to a pressure sensor device to periodically receive pressure sensor data. The processor may determine a body position according to the pressure sensor data, and associate sensor data to body areas of the subject according to the body position. The associated sensor data may include sensor data indicative of an absence of pressure sensor data associated with one or more of the number of body areas. The processor may track pressure experienced by the body areas of the subject over a period of time to determine a pressure to the body areas over the period of time.
