Described herein are systems and apparatuses for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers. In particular, the ulcer prevention systems and/or apparatuses disclosed herein prevent or otherwise mitigate pressure ulcers by actively orienting a patient over an anatomy-specific pressure-mitigating contact surface on which the patient rests. A pressure-mitigating contact portion of the contact surface includes a plurality of independently pressurized chambers configured in a specific geometric pattern that is designed to mitigate contact pressure between a support surface (e.g., table or chair) and a specific anatomic region of a patient's body when the specific anatomic region of the patient's body is oriented over an epicenter of the geometric pattern. A plurality of elevated side support portions are interconnected on the base material and configured to actively orient the specific anatomic region of the patient's body over the epicenter of the geometric pattern.
