Status: | Early stage Validation |
Social Benefits: | More than 2 third of lower limb amputations are due to ulceration on the foot that are not treated and 7- 10% of Hospitalised patients develop skin infections in ICU wards. Early assessment and management of infections caused by bacteria and fungus is crucial to accelerate wound healing, failing which will lead to delayed wound closure, amputation and mortality. |

Description : | The company has developed a novel screening that captures multi spectral images of the wound region and uses machine learning algorithms on the obtained spectral images to detect and also to classify the infecting pathogens (bacteria and fungus) non-invasively in under 2 minutes as compared to traditional visual inspection followed by culture method which takes up to 3-5 days for a definitive result and is error prone. |
