"Flipcare emerges as a transformative solution to this longstanding medical challenge. Designed with both patients and caregivers in mind, Flipcare integrates smart engineering, ergonomic support, and automation into a single, seamless care system. At its core, the device is built around a network of adjustable airbags strategically positioned to minimize prolonged pressure on any one part of the body. These airbags expand and deflate in timed intervals, gently shifting the user's weight and redistributing pressure without causing discomfort or disturbing rest."
"For elderly individuals or patients confined to bed for extended periods, whether due to surgery, chronic illness, immobility, or long-term care, pressure ulcers are among the most serious and persistent complications. Also known as bedsores, these injuries develop when constant pressure restricts blood flow to vulnerable areas of the body, particularly the back, hips, and buttocks. Over time, the skin and underlying tissue break down, leading not only to pain and infection but also to a significant decline in overall quality of life."
Bedridden elderly and immobilized patients face serious risks from pressure ulcers caused by prolonged pressure that restricts blood flow, leading to tissue breakdown, pain, infection, and reduced quality of life. Flipcare uses a network of adjustable airbags that expand and deflate in timed intervals to redistribute pressure and gently shift weight without causing discomfort or disturbing rest. The system mimics natural micro-movements that healthy sleepers make and reduces reliance on physically demanding manual repositioning by caregivers. An ergonomic back support follows spinal contours to provide adaptive lumbar support, enhancing comfort and lowering musculoskeletal strain risk.
