“Scanner Detects Pressure Injuries Before Visual Symptoms” with Martin Burns of Bruin Biometrics, on the Empowered Patient Podcast with Karen Jagoda
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
