The present invention relates to a system and method for monitoring, capturing, storing, processing, and enabling remote access of a plurality of data inputs pertaining to wound therapy of one or more subjects. The system as per the present invention comprises a wearable dedicated monitoring device, one or more user devices, a digital platform, a subject consent management means. The monitoring device is configured to receive a plurality of data inputs captured from one or more subjects undergoing wound therapy. The plurality of data inputs comprises one or more functional parameters of wound therapy, one or more modalities for wound therapy, and one or more factors impacting wound therapy. A unique identifier code is assigned by the monitoring device to specifically link the plurality of data inputs to each subject. Each of the plurality of data inputs is time stamped and based on the specific consent of the subjects, the data inputs are communicated to the user devices and the digital platform. The digital platform is configured to store, process, correlate, and enable remote access to the data inputs.
A system for monitoring wound therapy, the system comprising:
The system as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the digital platform is operably interfaced to an electronic health record system and to the one or more user devices.
The system as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the one or more functional parameters of wound therapy includes the measure of pressure applied by compression therapy, the measure of moisture content of dressings, the pressure achieved by offloading devices, and the viscosity of wound exudate.
The system as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the one or more modalities for wound therapy includes the product type and product model used for wound therapy, type of wound therapy, and details of manufacturers of products used for wound therapy.
The system as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the one or more factors impacting wound therapy includes wound type, wound size, a metric of pain tolerance, temperature, pH, relative humidity, type of care provider to the subject, experience of care provider to the subject, limb size of the subject, and geographical location of the subject.
The system as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein at least one of the plurality of data inputs is captured by the plurality of sensors.
The system as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein at least one of the plurality of data inputs is manually inputted to the monitoring device.
The system as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the unique identifier code is unique to the dedicated monitoring device, and wherein the monitoring device is solely used by a single subject.
The system as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the consent management means is adapted to record specific consent of the one or more subjects for each of the acts of communicating, storing, processing, and enabling remote viewing of, the plurality of data inputs.
A system for monitoring wound therapy, the system comprising:
A method for monitoring wound therapy implemented by a wearable dedicated monitoring device operably interfaced to at least one user device and a digital platform, the method comprising the steps of:
