Can a tiny, wearable device help prevent HAPIs and become the new standard of care?

Each year, more than 2.5 million acute care patients in the United States suffer from hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) costing U.S. hospitals billions. As many as 60,000 die from their complications.

A new meta-analysis shows that no longer has to be the case. Clinical studies show that using the tiny, wearable LEAF Patient Monitoring System compared with standard of care can mean a 94% reduction in the risk of pressure injury among acutely ill hospitalized or nursing home patients.

Relying on traditional, manual turn reminders should no longer be considered standard care. There’s a new, preferred standard of care.
