A mattress for patient care includes a number of compressible cells and a number of sensors corresponding to the number of compressible cells. Each compressible cell is configured to contact, when inflated, a user in a contact area of a plurality of contact areas of the user. Each sensor is configured to generate a number of measurements, wherein each measurement relates to the contact area of a corresponding compressible cell. Each sensor is further configured to send the number of measurements to a pressure control device.一種用於患者照護的床墊。該床墊包括多個可壓縮單元及對應該等可壓縮單元的多個感測器。每個可壓縮單元被配置於膨脹時在該使用者的多個接觸區域的一接觸區域中與一使用者接觸。每個感測器被配置來產生多個測量值,其中,每個測量值與一對應的可壓縮單元的該接觸區域相關。每個感測器還被配置來發送該等測量值至一壓力控制裝置。
