Location: Concert Hall
Speakers: Prof Joan-Enric Torra Bou, Victor Guerrini, Fares Al‑Khaliliy Pressure injury prevention has always depended on people doing the right thing at the right time. Checking. Adjusting. Reassessing. But healthcare systems are under pressure. Patients are more complex. Staff is stretched. And many prevention routines still rely on manual actions that are easy to miss, delay, or perform inconsistently. So, the question becomes: How can support surfaces be autonomous, not to replace care, but to make prevention more reliable, sustainable, and person-centred?
