What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If it works, this simple visual system could help nurses spot and prevent bedsores faster in intensive care units.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 96 participants. The color-coded approach may not reduce pressure injuries more than standard care.
