CADTH (the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in
Health) has recently completed on April 9, 2015 a report in their series on
“Issues in Emerging Health Technologies”, a review on a new technology that has
been developed in the hopes of reducing pressure ulceration. “Smart-e-Pants”
are likened in the report to biking shorts that are equipped with surface
electrodes intended to provide electrical stimulation to areas at high-risk of
pressure ulcers.
In the report, it is noted that the highest percentage of
pressure ulceration occurs in long-term care settings.
