I believe this is an amazing innovation. I hope this will be a breakthrough in eradication of pressure ulcers and its horrendous complications such as infection, longer hospital stays, decreased quality of life, secondary infections, and even death. I will eagerly anticipate the approval of this product so that it will be widely available across health care facilities.

University of Calgary doctors tested underwear by placing two pads of electrodes on each cheek of 37 patients with spinal cord injury, then zapping them with a low current of stimulus for ten seconds every 10 minutes for 12 hours a day. None of the patients treated developed a sore during the month-long trial.

Smart e-pants work by delivering an intermittent shock to the patient's nether regions. The mild jolts of electricity mimic fidgeting movements and shift a patient into a slightly different position thereby relieving pressure on the skin, increasing blood flow and preventing the sores from forming.
