WoundVision launches bedside thermographic imaging system

WoundVision™, the healthcare industry pioneer in advanced wound detection technology, is introducing today a revolutionary predictive bedside thermographic imaging system. The WoundVision system brings knowledge bedside by acquiring, analyzing and applying essential patient data to inform healthcare providers in the development of effective treatment and care plans.

“As pressure ulcer incidence continues to rise and cause problems throughout all levels of the healthcare industry, caregivers and healthcare executives are now, more than ever, feeling the need for a long-term solution”

With WoundVision, healthcare providers can objectively predict and track pressure ulcers and other wounds to optimize patient outcomes, comply with government regulations and improve financial performance. The first-of-its-kind solution helps cost-effectively bring knowledge bedside, enabling staff to both stay more informed and increase the quality of care.

"As pressure ulcer incidence continues to rise and cause problems throughout all levels of the healthcare industry, caregivers and healthcare executives are now, more than ever, feeling the need for a long-term solution," said James G. Spahn, MD, FACS, co-founder and CEO of WoundVision. "Our imaging system provides an objective and unbiased analysis to support healthcare providers' diagnoses and care plans."

Upon implementation of the WoundVision system, caregivers are able to complete a comprehensive, dynamic questionnaire tailored to each individual patient, helping to detect not only pressure ulcers and wounds, but also other health risks including malnutrition, dehydration, infection, deep vein thrombosis, incontinence and more. Next, caregivers are able to perform a full-body, non-contact scan with the revolutionary WoundVision imaging system. The lightweight, portable WoundVision imaging device produces real-time digital and infrared thermographic images that are captured and analyzed by integrated software that detects metabolic activity under the surface of the skin to identify issues unseen by the naked eye.

"The WoundVision system has been in development for nearly four and a half years," said Dr. Spahn. "As we launch this system, it is clear that an all-inclusive, long-term solution in wound care has never been in higher demand. We are thrilled to be publicly announcing the WoundVision system today and believe it will exponentially increase the level of patient care for the facilities that adopt the system."

The real-time reporting of the WoundVision system gives caregivers an immediate view into patient health assessments and trends, while predictive models provide insight into early and future wounds and other potential health issues. By utilizing the scientific data created by the WoundVision imaging system, caregivers are able to initiate effective care plans that will result in the facility abiding by best practices, practicing cost-effective care and meeting regulatory and legal requirements.

With more than 60 years of combined experience in building successful healthcare technology businesses, the WoundVision team has quickly assembled an advanced technology solution, proven its effectiveness through beta testing, and with this announcement, plans to begin delivering beneficial results to healthcare facilities throughout the United States with the WoundVision system.
