Outline of Final Research Achievements

A robotic mattress has positioning cells that expand and contract slowly for repositioning. These cells contributed to patient comfort because the cells could provide patient repositioning without sudden change of posture. While, level of cell expansion/contraction and location of the cells should fit to patient joints such as lower back and shoulder to support patient comfort when they keep positions.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

1日の大半をベッド上で過ごし、自身で寝返りが打てない患者にとって、ベッド上で安楽な姿勢を保てることは患者のQOLに大きく関わるg。ロボティックマットレスでは、ポジショニングセルにより体位変換時の苦痛を軽減できる可能性が示された一方で、長時間同一体位を保持する際の安楽性への課題が明らかとなった。本研究により、今後解決すべき課題の抽出がなされたといえる。
