About the System
Early mobilisation is a critical part of rehabilitation. Patients who remain in bed for long periods can experience rapid deconditioning which affects muscle strength, balance, circulation and overall mobility. Moving a person from bed to chair is often the first milestone that supports posture, core activation and engagement in daily activity.
However, moving someone to a chair does not automatically solve the problem. In many cases the patient goes from a pressure relieving mattress to a standard foam chair and may remain seated for hours with minimal movement. This creates new challenges around pressure, inactivity and the risk of further deconditioning.
Preventie Lite provides the solution.
A non invasive smart sensor sheet for any chair Preventie Lite is a discreet smart sensor sheet that sits directly on the surface of a chair. It requires no installation and no modification to existing seating. In seconds it transforms any chair into a powerful mobility and movement insight tool. Designed to work across health and social care settings, Preventie Lite supports meaningful assessment, engagement and early mobilisation while people are seated.
What Preventie Lite Measures
Preventie Lite captures detailed, real time information that cannot be reliably seen by observation alone. The system tracks:
In chair movement and micro shifts
Sit to stand activity and performance
Postural change and improvement
Functional movement linked to posture and core strength
This allows clinicians to understand how a person is truly moving, which seated positions best support sit to stand, and whether activity levels are improving or beginning to decline.
The result is deeper, more objective assessment that adds clarity to clinical decision making.
A New Approach to Engagement
Game Mode
Preventie Lite includes an optional interactive feature called Game Mode. This uses gentle body movement to control a simple on screen game inspired by the classic Pong style that many people instantly recognise.
By shifting weight left and right, the user controls a paddle on the screen. This encourages:
Natural weight transfer
Trunk rotation
Core activation
Postural control
Alternation of pressure points through movement
Game Mode supports both physical and cognitive engagement and is particularly effective for dementia care, stroke rehabilitation, neurological patients and older adults who benefit from simple, purposeful interaction.
It introduces enjoyment into rehabilitation and creates positive shared moments between staff and patients as progress is encouraged and previous scores are improved.
Why Preventie Lite Matters
- Reduces the risk of deconditioning while seated
- Adds objective measurement to traditionally subjective seating assessments
- Encourages movement that mirrors the benefits of pressure relieving surfaces
- Improves engagement for both staff and patients
- Works with any chair in any setting
Preventie Lite ensures that early mobilisation does not simply shift risk from the bed to the chair. Instead, seated time becomes meaningful, therapeutic and measurable.
