Body Pressure Measurement System (BPMS)

Body Pressure Measurement System

BPMS™ measures the pressure distribution of a human body on support surfaces such as seats, mattresses, cushions, and backrests. The thin and conforming sensing mat can measure body pressure distribution with minimal interference of the support surface.

Key Benefits

• Design optimization

  •  Verify comfort

  • Ergonomics

  • Understand body shifts in a static chair or an application

  • with a moving vehicle – ingress/outgress

  • Analyze comfort of different materials for seat design

• Quality control

• Competitive benchmarking

• Marketing tool to demonstrate the comfort of your product

• Fully conforming sensor available (CONFORMat™) avoids hammocking or measurement of artifact
  

  Key Applications Include:
  

• Comfort Testing and Analysis

• Support Surface Design

  • Shape/contours of seat or backrest

  • Dimensions of seat
