How Real-Time Pressure Mapping Decreased Morbidity and Costs Associated with HAPIs in the Burn Center

This study summary highlights how the Johns Hopkins Burn Center implemented the Wellsense VŪ System to address persistent hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) among high-risk burn patients in the burn intensive care unit (BICU).

By utilizing full-body, real-time pressure mapping, clinicians were able to identify high-pressure areas and assess the impact of repositioning and offloading interventions in real time. The implementation led to improved patient outcomes, fewer complications, and a scalable approach for pressure injury prevention in complex care settings.
