Healthcare providers in the developed world spend $40 billion per annum on wound management. That is huge and is set to rise.
Until now, the conventional approach to wound monitoring, which involves using photographs to assess how the wound is healing over time, has been manually intensive and difficult to quantify.
Having recognised that its imaging solutions could provide a breakthrough in this specialist field of wound care, Eykona Technologies approached electronic product designers Triteq to help them develop an entirely new 3D imaging system. The system would use a 3D camera and imaging software to record, layer and manipulate wound images.
