ABOUT OUR WINNER: WAVE THERAPEUTICS
Annually, 5% of long-term care patients suffer pressure injuries, with facilities caught between profitability and staffing demands. As the population ages, staffing shortages worsen, making manual turning schedules laborious and poorly documented, risking malpractice suits. Our technology automates pressure relief, allows for remote monitoring, and ensures care compliance documentation. With an affordable subscription model, our cushions reduce costs and improve patient health and independence, offering a practical solution to economic and care challenges.
