Bedsores also referred to as pressure ulcers results in injuries to skin and underlying tissue ensuing from prolonged pressure on the skin. Bedsores most frequently develop on skin that covers bony areas of the body, like the heels, ankles, hips and tailbone. individuals most in danger of bedsores are those with a medical condition that limits their ability to alter positions or people who spends most of their time in an exceedingly bed or chair. This paper outlines an anti-bedsore bed which is a medical device that prevents or delays occurrence of pressure ulcers by alleviating contact pressure exerted on a patient due to a contact with a bed. In this work, a Peltier module and a fan are fitted in a bed to reduce the temperature and humidity in the bed to optimal condition to prevent pressure ulcers. The bed set consists of more than four Peltier modules and a brushless fan aligned with a patient’s head, hip, thighs and heels which are generally the bedsores occurring areas. The air flow and temperature changes periodically as per required using controller unit. This can also reduce the patient uncomfortable conditions.
