Wellsense VŪ gives nurses real-time visibility into patient pressure - enabling accurate assessment, guiding precise interventions, and providing certainty that patient pressure has been effectively offloaded.
CHALLENGES
Nurses do everything they’re trained to (and more) – yet pressure injuries persist
Pressure injuries often go unnoticed until they worsen. Without visualizing patient pressure, nurses can’t confirm offloading — leading to preventable harm.
Protocol without proof
Nurses turn patients on a fixed schedule – without knowing whether pressure has actually
been relieved.
Effort without results
Even with nonstop care and repositioning, pressure injuries still occur – leaving nurses frustrated & defeated.
Assessment without insight
Skin checks are time-consuming & subjective, often detecting damage only after it’s already developed.
Presence without Participation
Patients and families are present, but without visibility into patient pressure, they’re unable to help prevent injury.
“Routine repositioning alone cannot eliminate high-pressure areas in the sacral region.”
— Peterson M et al., JRRD 2013
Support, not surveillance
VŪ doesn't track or report on staff — it simply equips nurses with real-time pressure data to guide effective repositioning and offloading.
Effectiveness over enforcement
The system focuses on whether pressure has actually been relieved — not just whether a reposition was completed.
Enablement, not oversight
VŪ gives nurses the ability to see the impact of their care, helping them adjust with confidence in the moment.
Same protocols, better outcomes.
VŪ works with the skills nurses already have – no new protocols, no new training. It simply adds visibility to confirm the effectiveness of their actions.

Strategic Deployment
Deploy where it matters. Protect patients who need it most.
You choose which patients receive Visually Guided Pressure Offloading — directing limited budgets toward those you define as highest risk, who typically drive most of your pressure injury costs.
This ensures every dollar is aligned toward clinical and financial impact.
