MAVIS - II Introduction MAVIS-I MAVIS-II Status Introduction (1 of 4) Principle Hardware Software Competitors Development Examples Performance Why Wound Measurement? Chronic wounds are frequent: 8% of bedridden/chairbound patients develop pressure ulcers 3.5% of all adults in the USA suffer from venous leg ulcers alone Wounds are costly: Approx. £ 500 million annually in the UK venous leg ulcer
MAVIS - II Introduction MAVIS-I MAVIS-II Status Introduction (2 of 4) Principle Hardware Software Competitors Development Examples Performance Why Wound Measurement? Wounds need to be healed: objective information required monitor progress of healing wound assess influence of clinical interventions increasingly important: litigation verify clinical trials diabetic foot ulcer
