Body Pressure Measurement System (BPMS) - Research

BPMS™ measures the pressure distribution between the human body and support surfaces such as seats, mattresses, cushions, and backrests. The thin and conforming sensing mat can measure body pressure distribution with minimal interference of the support surface.

Key Benefits

• Design optimization
  • Verify comfort
  • Ergonomics
  • Understand body shifts in a static chair or an application with a moving vehicle – ingress/ outgress
  • Analyze comfort of different materials for seat design
• Quality control
• Competitive benchmarking
• Marketing tool to demonstrate the comfort of your product
• Fully conforming sensor available (CONFORMat™) avoids hammocking or measurement of artifact

Key Applications Include:

BPMS™ measures the pressure distribution between the human body and support surfaces such as seats, mattresses, cushions, and backrests. The thin and conforming sensing mat can measure body pressure distribution with minimal interference of the support surface.
