Sensor Integration Alters Biomechanical Load Transfer in Pressure Mapping of Neonatal Support Surfaces

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
In bedridden patients, the constant load between the body and the support surface increases the risk of soft tissue injuries.
