Patent ID: 8894590

Claim:
A system for measuring an interface pressure exerted on skin, comprising: a supporting member; at least two pressure sensors placed apart on the supporting member, the at least two pressure sensors configured to measure a pressure being exerted at two locations in a use position, wherein at least one of the two locations is predetermined; and an electronic system connected to the at least two pressure sensors and configured to acquire values simultaneously measured by the at least two pressure sensors, wherein each of the at least two pressure sensors includes: a transducer element, said transducer element having a surface configured to contact with the skin in the use position, either directly or via an intermediate layer of a material covering said surface of the transducer element, and a compressive elastic modulus of the surface of said transducer element is between 30 and 500 kPa when the surface of the transducer element is configured to contact with the skin directly.
