This body of clinical publications focuses on SEM assessment technology in a clinical setting, how SEM assessments can support clinical decision making and the overwhelming benefits of implementing SEM assessment technology in any care setting to improve the prevention of pressure injuries.
Tobiano, G. et al. 2023. Journal of Advanced Nursing
Aim: To assess patients’ and nurses’ perceptions and experiences of sub-epidermal moisture scanning acceptability.
Gefen, A. et al. 2022. International Wound Journal
Aim: The goal of this study was to develop a machine learning based prediction algorithm for effective differential diagnosis and prediction of heel DTIs (before they appear visually).
Ousey, K. et al. 2022. Journal of Wound Care
Aim: To assess the effectiveness of sub-epidermal moisture (SEM) assessment technology as an adjunct to visual assessment to reduce pressure injury incidence alongside standard pressure injury care pathways.
Aim: To assess anonymous patient-level data on the use of sub-epidermal moisture (SEM) assessment technology as a tool in the prevention of pressure injury in at-risk hospital patients.
Ropper, R. 2021. British Journal of Nursing
Aim: Using SEM Scanner would reduce HAPIs with or without a reduction in dynamic mattress usage. A ward with zero HAPIs but high dynamic mattress usage could reduce usage without increasing HAPIs. An equipment pathway could reduce hired mattress use in high use wards without increasing the number of HAPIs.
