Abstract: The disclosure provides a system, apparatus, and method for monitoring pressure associated with a user sitting in a wheelchair for prolonged periods of time. By tracking the user's wheelchair pressure sitting history and analyzing the tracked data; relieving the user's sitting pressure and increasing blood circulation can be achieved through achieving higher levels of user adherence to performing pressure relief rehabilitation exercises.

Abstract: Sensing devices including sensors such as flexible and stretchable fabric-based pressure sensors, may be associated with or incorporated in garments, such as socks, intended to be worn against a body surface (directly or indirectly). Specific manifestations of a sensing system incorporated in a sock substrate are described in detail. Dedicated electronic devices interface electrically with sensors through intermediate conductive traces, optional conductive bridges, conductive contacts provided in a mounting tab.
