Problem
Diagnosing conditions like pressure injuries and diabetic foot ulcers often relies on subjective visual assessment, which can lead to delayed detection and inconsistent treatment. Furthermore, differentiating between viral and bacterial pediatric ear infections or accurately monitoring drug levels in patients typically requires invasive procedures or laboratory analysis, creating barriers to timely and accessible care.
Solution
IR-Med provides a platform of non-invasive diagnostic devices utilizing spectrographic AI technology for real-time biomarker assessment. Their handheld devices offer healthcare professionals objective decision support for a range of conditions, including pressure injuries, diabetic foot ulcers, pediatric ear infections, and drug level monitoring. By analyzing subsurface tissue and fluid biomarkers, IR-Med's technology aims to improve patient care through earlier detection, more precise diagnoses, and personalized treatment strategies, while also reducing the need for invasive procedures.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes healthcare professionals such as clinicians, nurses, and pediatricians who require objective, real-time diagnostic tools for patient assessment and treatment planning.
