cureVision is developing an AI-supported solution to improve the care of chronic wounds. The start-up's solution consists of disinfectable hardware with software and interfaces. This is suitable for 3D wound analysis and documentation. The length, width and area of the wound are measured and the wound depth is automatically recognized with the help of artificial intelligence. The AI also recognizes granulation, fibrin and necrosis. Photo documentation is also included in the automatically generated wound report.
Curevision already took 2nd place in the Digital Health Award presented by Novartis Germany in 2023.
