The work is aimed to analyse the possibility of using the Velostat® film technology to help medical staff in the care of bedridden patients. System were prototyped and tested. Velostat® film bedsheet is an antibedsore module that utilizes dedicated pressure sensitive mat for position detection to signalize a possibility of a bedsore effect. The modules have been tested and the results of their functioning have been presented. The results of the tests is verification of the pressure sensing mat made of Velostat® film. On the basis of the pre-designed device and conducted research, a system is created for monitoring a lying patient and can be used for further clinical trials, supporting many hospital medical staff.
