1. A system for patient monitoring and repositioning, the system comprising:
a mattress including:
a cell array with a plurality of individually height-adjustable cells each having sensor surface configured to sense at least one biomarker of the patient while lying on the mattress, and
a base board array to receive the cell array and including a plurality of base boards, wherein at least one base board of the plurality of baseboards comprises a port interface having a plurality of ports and configured to be coupled to a connection manifold of a cell of the plurality of cells to physically, electronically, and pneumatically connect the cell to the at least one base board, and wherein the port interface is further configured to orient the cell on the at least one base board; and
a main unit in communication with each cell of the cell array through the base board array, the main unit configured to receive data from each of the cells, including measurements of the at least one biomarker, and independently control a height of each of the cells.
