Visual diagnosis and rejuvenation are methods currently used to diagnose and treat pressure ulcers, respectively. However, the treatment process is difficult. We developed a biophotonic sensor to diagnose pressure ulcers and, subsequently, developed a pressure ulcer care device (PUCD.) We conducted animal and clinical trials to investigate the device's effectiveness. We confirmed the accuracy of the pressure ulcer diagnosis algorithm to be 91% and we observed an 85% reduction in immune cells when using the PUCD to treat pressure ulcer-induced mice. Additionally, we compared the treatment group to the pressure ulcer induction group to assess the PUCD's effectiveness in identifying immune cells through its nuclear shape. These results indicate a positive effect and suggest the use of PUCD as a recovery method for pressure ulcer diagnosis and treatment.
视觉诊断和再生分别是目前用于诊断和治疗压疮的方法。然而,治疗过程较为困难。我们开发了一种用于诊断压疮的生物光子传感器,随后又开发了一种压疮护理设备(PUCD)。我们进行了动物和临床试验来研究该设备的效果。我们证实压疮诊断算法的准确率为 91%,并且在使用 PUCD 治疗压疮诱导的小鼠时,观察到免疫细胞减少了 85%。此外,我们将治疗组与压疮诱导组进行比较,以通过核形状评估 PUCD 识别免疫细胞的效果。这些结果表明其具有积极作用,并提示使用 PUCD 作为压疮诊断和治疗的恢复方法。
