iSCare: A Smart-Care Solution for Chronic Wounds.

Chronic wounds are often difficult to treat, and take a long time to heal due to their complicated pathophysiology. Against a background shortage of trained healthcare professionals and a disparity in medical care resources, a systematic evaluation of wounds to facilitate appropriate care is vital for both patients and medical workers.

iSCare is an image capturing device and system which integrates color, thermal and 3D images with the application of AI technology to capture the surface topography of wounds, attaining an estimated measurement accuracy of 85% for wound size as well as for the ratio of tissue conditions (granulation, necrosis and putrefaction). Auto-measurement data is generated by AI analysis within seconds.

This solution is the world’s first wound imaging device that integrates these three imaging methods, providing rash and swelling data as well as blood circulation information from the surface of the wound to 2 mm under the epidermis. It is capable of remote and zero-contact measurement with a latency of 1 second and 85% accuracy.

Using this technology, professionals located anywhere can easily access the high-quality images and analysis they need to enable the evaluation of healing progress; they are then able to provide frontline technicians with advice on appropriate treatment methods.
