Systems, devices, and methods for tracking abdominal orientation and activity for treatment and prevention of pressure sores

This invention describes a wearable device designed to monitor a person's body position. If the individual remains in the same orientation for too long, the device issues an alert to prompt them to shift their position by a specific amount. It can send multiple, distinct alerts if the person doesn't move as prompted, potentially notifying caregivers.

Why it matters: Since 2022, advancements in low-power embedded processors and secure wireless communication have made on-device intelligence and remote caregiver alerts more robust and efficient. This enhances the practicality of a self-contained, intelligent wearable system.
