This NIH SBIR/STTR grant project funds the development of an interactive simulation product to improve pressure injury assessment and treatment for patients with darkly pigmented skin, addressing disparities in detection and outcomes.
Description
The proposed project focuses on creating a high-fidelity, interactive Pressure Injury (PI) simulation product to address assessment and treatment disparities of patients with darkly pigmented skin. The project aims to develop a simulation product for pressure injury assessment involving high-fidelity mannequin development, electronics, and skin tone variations.
