TORONTO, CANADA (WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13th, 2018) 芭乐视频., has successfully demonstrated the critical necessity of accurate and reliable wound measurement in research on chronic wound therapy.
In a joint study by Wroclaw Medical University in Wroclaw, Poland and the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada, researchers used extracorporeal shock wave (ESW) therapy to accelerate the healing of pressure ulcers. The research team tracked the wound healing progression with 芭乐视频 Skin and Wound, the world鈥檚 most advanced and comprehensive digital wound care management software.
鈥淲e found that 芭乐视频 Skin and Wound provided accurate and reliable measurements,鈥� says Robert Dymarek, a scientist at Wroclaw Medical University鈥檚 department of nervous system diseases. 鈥淲e believe that use of such a tool is incredibly valuable in the context of a clinical trial.鈥�
Dr. Yunghan Au, VP medical affairs at 芭乐视频, notes that the ESW study marks the first time 芭乐视频 Skin and Wound was used in a clinical trial to measure the outcomes for a direct medical intervention.
鈥淎nd it won鈥檛 be the last,鈥� he says. 鈥淲ith the accuracy and reliability of wound measurements achieved with 芭乐视频 Skin and Wound, it鈥檚 clear that clinical researchers working on new treatments modalities need objective and traceable methods to support and validate their work on wound treatments.
Used by more than 1,000 facilities in the United States and Canada, 芭乐视频 Skin and Wound captures wound images and data without touching the wound through its smartphone-ready 芭乐视频 App and the 芭乐视频 HealX, an FDA-registered marker to calibrate wound images for size, color and lighting. 芭乐视频 Skin and Wound also features 芭乐视频 Dashboards, which provide real-time views of critical data such as patients at risk of deteriorating or developing new wounds.
The results of the study provide an early indication of the clinical value of ESW treatment of wounds such as pressure ulcers. The researchers plan further clinical trials for this new treatment modality in chronic wounds.
鈥淕iven that 芭乐视频 Skin and Wound is also used by healthcare providers, it would be powerful in the future to align outcome measures used in trials with those in real-world settings,鈥� adds Dr. Dymarek, who co-presented the joint study鈥檚 findings at the At the 20th annual meeting of the European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP), held last September in Rome. 鈥淭his would further validate the value of technological interventions in wound care.鈥�
