Introduced here are pressure-mitigation systems able to mitigate the pressure applied to a human body by the surface of an object. A system can include a pressure-mitigation device with chambers whose pressure can be varied by a controller that regulates the flow of fluid produced by a pump. The controller may be deployed as part of a closed loop system that autonomously infers information related to the health of a patient based on data related to the pressure of these chambers. For example, the data may be examined to determine whether the values indicate the patient is properly situated. A notification may be presented responsive to determining that the patient is not situated on the pressure-mitigation device, the patient has been improperly situated on the pressure-mitigation device for a certain amount of time, etc. Thus, real-time feedback may be provided to those responsible for monitoring the patient.

A pressure relief system for use with a wheelchair includes a backrest support including a plurality of backrest cells. The backrest cells include a base which includes a plurality of air ports, a cover in connection with the base, and resilient elements within an interior of the backrest cells. The pressure relief system-further includes a seat support including a plurality of seat cells. The seat cells includes a base which includes a plurality of air ports, a cover in connection with the base, and resilient elements within an interior of the seat cells. The pressure relief system also includes a source of pressurize air in fluid connection with the air ports of each of the backrest cells and with the air ports of the seat cells via which the resilient elements within the backrest cells and the resilient elements within the seat cells are fluidizable.
