Study Summaries | LEAF System

Listen to The Pressure Effect, a Smith+Nephew podcast discussing the often complex causes of pressure injuries and how they can be avoided.

Back to Clinical Evidence

Automatic documentation with LEAF Patient Monitoring System significantly increased the number of repositioning events in patients at risk of developing pressure injuries (PIs) compared with manual documentation

Pilot study: Assessing the effect of continual position monitoring technology on compliance with patient turning protocols

Turn protocol compliance improved from 64% at baseline to 98% after implementation of the LEAF Patient Monitoring System, as this study demonstrates.

Effect of a wearable patient sensor on care delivery for preventing pressure injuries in acutely ill adults: A pragmatic randomized clinical trial (LS-HAPI study)

This randomized controlled trial demonstrates that patients treated with LEAF Patient Monitoring System are 73% less likely to develop a pressure injury.
