There’s a problem in healthcare when it comes to quality and accessibility of data in medicine, especially when it comes to chronic wound care, such as bed sores and ulcers that have to be cared for over years. For the most part, it has been done manually and, therefore, inaccurately.
“The old way that a doctor would manage and track the wound was with a ruler. Then they’d have to remember the last visit to figure out how it looked. This was holding the field back,” said Kevin Keenahan, CEO and co-founder of Tissue Analytics, a company that provides a solutions to increase efficiency and accuracy for wound and skin tracking.
