Body Pressure Measurement System (BPMSTM)

System Features


BPMS measures the pressure distribution of a human body on support surfaces such as seats, mattresses, cushions, and backrests. The system includes hardware, software, and thin-film pressure sensors (mats). The mats feature spatial resolutions as high as one sensing element/cm2 and contains as many as 2016 individual sensing elements per sensor.

The mats' thinness enables the user to confidently incorporate the sensor into the application without altering the characteristics of the support surface. The combination of these factors enables precise measurement of the location and magnitude of peak pressures and overall pressure distribution patterns.

BPMS is built on a "modular" sensor construct concept. This means you can acquire a system in many ways from one sensor up to eight. This allows you to grow your BPMS as your needs expand, thus protecting your initial investment.
