Clinical Impact
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.
Meta-analysis shows patient wearable sensor reduces incidence of hospital-acquired pressure injuries in critically ill patients
The LEAF System was shown to reduce the incidence of HAPIs by 70% in a meta-analysis of 19,136 patients.
Leveraging Novel Technology to Decrease Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries
This 30-day pilot study demonstrated a HAPI reduction of 85% after implementation of the LEAF Patient Monitoring System.
The Role of Manual Patient Turning in Preventing Hospital Acquired Conditions
Manual turning of patients has many benefits beyond pressure injury prevention. It is the first step in early mobilization of bedbound patients to prevent cardiovascular and musculoskeletal effects of immobility, such as a change in muscle and/or bone mass and a reduction in plasma volume.…
New Technology Significantly Reduces Rates of Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries
Institutions that have deployed the LEAF Patient Monitoring System, a tool which allows caregivers to more effectively manage patient turning protocols, have experienced significant decreases in rates of pressure injuries. An analysis involving over 10,000 patients reveals the strong protective…
