Objetivo ReQbo is developing a disruptive system for preventing pressure ulcers (PU) in bedridden patients by intelligently andcontinuously assessing a personalized risk score for each patient. This system is the first market solution offering activepreventive care, instead of the reactive care that is enabled by competing technologies. Accordingly, the system will becapable of contributing to a steep reduction in PU incidence in long-term care units, both in hospitals and nursing homes.Treating pressure ulcers is very costly, accounting for more than €20 billion per year supported by EU public healthcaresystems. Prevention and early detection are the main priorities to reduce this current healthcare burden. Despiteimprovements in healthcare systems and technologies, patients are still at risk of developing pressure ulcers, because ofineffective and incomplete routine care to assign preventive measures. With current technologies and clinical practices,patients in need of prevention cannot be accurately and reliably detected, which lead to PU development. While thetreatments options are well established once a patient has been diagnosed with high PU-risk, the method for assessing thatrisk has not evolved significantly in 20 years.In order to tackle this challenge, ReQbo has developed and patented its Qone system: a pressure relieving mattress, withintegrated temperature and pressure mapping sensors, that synchronizes data with a highly accurate screening algorithm.This algorithm assesses a PU risk score based on individual patient parameters and a long-term record of how pressure andtemperature have been distributed in the patient’s body, allowing a reduction of approximately 75% on the overall number ofnew pressure ulcers in bedridden patients. The result of each risk score assessment is communicated wirelessly to theaccompanying app and to the hospital monitoring system in order to inform the caretaker that a preventive measure needs tobe implemented.
