Ending the pressure injury cycle for wheelchair users.
Aegis is a wheelchair cushion built to catch pressure injury risk before it starts — a continuous layer of protection where today there's only guesswork and scheduled checks.
of wheelchair users will develop at least one serious pressure ulcer in their lifetime.
non-compliance with manual repositioning protocols — the current standard of care doesn't hold up.
deaths a year are linked to pressure ulcers that went undetected too long.
A problem that repeats because no one is watching continuously.
Sustained pressure
Prolonged loading on bony prominences cuts off blood supply to deep tissue for hours at a time.
Microclimate failure
Heat and moisture build up underneath — a 1°C rise in skin temperature can raise local tissue demand by around 10%.
Invisible damage
Deep tissue damage starts hours before anything is visible on the skin, which is usually too late to act.
Prevention today still depends on caregiver-assisted repositioning every two hours — unsustainable, and easy to miss.
It's a widespread problem, too: over 18M wheelchair users across Europe, with pressure ulcers costing an average of €10K per case each year.
One cushion, doing three jobs at once.
Continuous protection built into daily life, not scheduled checks.
Flags risk while it's still forming, hours before it's visible.
Responds on its own — no waiting on a caregiver to notice.
Five layers, one system.
