Cottage and Worthington Pavilion is proud to announce the implementation of the Tactilus High-Performance Seating Pad Sensor System, significantly enhancing the quality of care for their residents. This innovative technology was made possible through the generous support of Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation.

The Tactilus system utilises advanced pressure measurement technology to optimise seating, positioning, and wheelchair cushioning for residents. By precisely pinpointing high-risk pressure areas, the Tactilus system empowers clinicians to proactively address potential issues before they escalate.

Cottage and Worthington Pavilion team are more than thrilled to receive this new technology. As they state, “this advanced technology enables us to accurately assess and monitor patients at risk of pressure ulcers, ensuring timely interventions and enhancing the quality of care they receive”.

The wireless Tactilus system offers numerous benefits for patients-in-care. Some of these benefits include: pinpointing high risk pressure areas; pressure sore prevention and medical device suitability assessment.

The implementation of the Tactilus High-Performance Seating Pad Sensor System at Cottage and Worthington Pavilion represents a significant step forward in resident care, demonstrating a commitment to innovation and the well-being of the community.
