1. A system for measuring the interface pressure exerted on the skin, which comprises:

  • a supporting member bearing sensors, including at least two pressure sensors placed apart on the supporting member, so as to be able to measure the pressure being exerted at two locations, one of which is predetermined; and

    an electronic system connected to the sensors and capable of acquiring the values simultaneously measured by these sensors,each pressure sensor comprising a transducer element, said transducer element having a surface intended to come into contact with the skin in the use position, either directly or via an intermediate layer of a material covering said surface of the transducer, the compressive elastic modulus of said transducer or of said intermediate layer, measured at the surface intended to come into contact with the skin, being between 30 and 500 kPa.
