Abstract

Managing respiratory status of patients with COVID-19 is a high resource, high risk healthcare challenge. Interventions that decrease need for invasive respiratory support and utilization of bedside staff would benefit patients and healthcare personnel alike. Proning has been established as optimal positioning that may reduce the need for escalation of respiratory support. We propose a new application of a wearable device to decrease supine positioning and ameliorate these risks.
