Systems and methods for managing a position management protocol based on detected inclination angle of a person

A method for managing a position management protocol for a person, the method comprising:

• implementing the position management protocol for the person, wherein the position management protocol defines position management parameters including at least one of (a) at least one orientation angle parameter corresponding with a defined orientation or orientation change of the person or (b) at least one time or frequency parameter corresponding with a defined orientation or orientation change;
• using a sensor device directly or indirectly secured to the person to determine a torso inclination angle of the person's torso;
• automatically adjusting, by a processor, at least one position management parameter of the position management protocol as a function of the determined torso inclination angle;
• and
• subsequently implementing the position management protocol with the at least one adjusted position management parameter.

A system for managing a position management protocol for a person, the system comprising:

• a wearable sensor device configured to be secured to the person or secured to an article worn by the person, the wearable sensor device including at least one sensor configured to generate sensor data indicating a torso inclination angle of the person's torso;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled with the at least one sensor and configured to:
• implement the position management protocol for the person, wherein the position management protocol defines position management parameters including at least one of (a) at least one orientation angle parameter corresponding with a defined orientation or orientation change of the person or (b) at least one time or frequency parameter corresponding with a defined orientation or orientation change;
• receive, from the at least one sensor, the sensor data indicating the torso inclination angle:
• automatically adjust at least one position management parameter of the position management protocol as a function of the determined torso inclination angle;
• and
• subsequently implement the position management protocol with the at least one adjusted position management parameter.
