Listen to Martin Burns, CEO of Bruin Biometrics discuss how surprisingly common pressure injuries are and how the Provizio® SEM Scanner is helping healthcare professionals reduce the incidence and severity of these painful and distressing wounds.
The discussion covers:
- How surprisingly common pressure injuries are, and how these injuries are not talked about in the mainstream
- How pressure injuries develop microscopically and do not physically manifest until the skin surface breaks, posing risks of complications such as infections
- How sub-epidermal moisture* data precedes and predicts tissue death, meaning it is a treatable condition
- The device’s mode of action, and how the device is practically used in different care settings
- The importance of the device being skin tone agnostic in supporting health equity
- An introduction to PIPPA, a secure, cloud-based clinical decision software tool, and the company’s future explorations of AI tools to support care protocol development, nurse efficiency modes, and predictive analytics
*Sub-epidermal moisture is also known as localized edema or persistent focal edema in the literature
