The U.S Army Medical Research and Materiel Command http://mrmc.amedd.army.mil at Fort Detrick seeks a partner interested in commercializing the technology “WoundFlow-Computerized Mapping and Tracking of Burns”.
Accurate mapping and tracking of burn injuries is critical for creating and executing an effective treatment plan for burn patients. Most burn mapping procedures are paper-based, which can lead to variable treatments across patients and providers.
WoundFlow is a user friendly, intuitive, electronic burn mapping tool used for documenting ongoing surgical treatment modalities. It also features an animation mode and can upload patient photographs that can be easily viewed by the staff.
WoundFlow has a number of additional benefits:
- The software is user-friendly and is available for transfer to a commercial partner
- A mapping percentage and graphical display are provided based on wound size, location, extent, and characteristics of the burn injury
- Tracks associated surgical treatments used during the patient’s stay at the hospital
- All recorded data is time-stamped and stored in an database
The title of the project is “An Electronic Burn Mapping System that Documents Wound Healing over Time” at http://technologytransfer.amedd.army.mil. For more information, email Sara Baragona at sara.baragona@us.army.mil or call 301-619-6975.
