Scanning for a $27 Billion Issue
The Los Angeles Business Journal has featured Bruin Biometrics in a compelling piece on one of healthcare’s most costly and underaddressed challenges: pressure injuries.
The article explores the staggering scale of the problem, with pressure injuries costing the US healthcare system up to $27 billion annually and affecting an estimated 2.5 million patients each year. It examines why traditional detection methods fall short, and how the Provizio SEM Scanner is changing the way clinicians identify and prevent pressure injuries before visible damage occurs.
The piece also covers the origins of Bruin Biometrics, tracing the company’s journey from research at UCLA’s Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science to becoming an FDA-cleared solution now in use across healthcare settings.
For anyone working in wound care, patient safety, or healthcare innovation, it is a worthwhile read that puts the clinical and financial case for early pressure injury detection into sharp focus.
