Lenexa Medical

Lenexa Medical is an Australian-based MedTech company that has developed the LenexaCARE technology to empower clinicians to deliver targeted, long-term solutions for personalised pressure injury prevention and patient monitoring. Pressure injuries are mostly preventable, however affect millions of people globally each year whilst costing healthcare systems billions of dollars worldwide. In 2020, Australian public hospitals spent over $9 billion to address the issue. The LenexaCARE system consists of an ultra-thin fabric with in-built sensing capabilities and smart software for detecting and monitoring patient position, posture, and presence. By providing clinicians with non-subjective data to monitor positioning and presence of patients over time, LenexaCARE allows decisions to be made based on an individual’s unique profile and history on the mattress. The novel LenexaCARE technology will not only reduce the cost associated with pressure injury treatments and bed stays, but more importantly help to ease the pain and suffering for patients and their families.
