    • To support the independence and well-being of patients at risk of pressure sores.

    Main Methods:

    • A cooperative model was established between district nurses and medical engineers.
    • Processes were streamlined for the quick assessment and provision of pressure-relieving devices.
    • Community patient needs were prioritized for timely intervention.

    Main Results:

    • The initiative facilitated prompt delivery of essential pressure-relieving equipment.
    • Collaboration enhanced the efficiency of device provision to patients in their homes.
    • This approach supports the prevention of pressure sore development within the community.

    Conclusions:

    • Cooperative efforts between healthcare professionals and engineers can effectively address patient needs.
    • Rapid provision of pressure-relieving devices is key to preventing pressure sores in community settings.
    • Supporting patients at home through accessible technology is a vital aspect of modern healthcare.
