Abstract

PURPOSE: To press conversion of a physical position and to prevent bedsore from being generated by measuring at any time the body pressure which a human body receives from a bedding and a seating and outputting an alarm when it exceeds the pressure causing the bedsore and the time for which the received pressure is continued. CONSTITUTION: A flexible sheet-like sensor 2 for measuring the body pressure distribution of a patient and an earphone 3 for listening to an alarm are connected with in the apparatus main body 1. When an electric source switch 7 of the apparatus main body 1 is turned on, a program is stored in an MPU 9 from an ROM 8 and at first, a signal is transmitted to an alarm driving part 10 to inform that the apparatus is worked for a definite time (e.g. for 10 sec). At the same time, a signal is transmitted to a sensor driving part 11 to drive the sensor 2 and a signal from the sensor is transmitted to the MPU 9 through an ADC 12. In an SRAM 13, not only data on the body pressure distribution but also the time and the time interval of continuation of the body pressure distribution are stored and when the time interval of continuation of the body pressure distribution exceeds the set time, a signal is transmitted to the alarm driving part 10 and the signal is transmitted to the earphone 3 for a definite time.
