Navazio envisions the wound care model of the future harnessing technology, such as AI, to integrate treatment, data & supplies into a seamless paradigm.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, UNITED STATES, August 7, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Time was, when wound care programs were primarily focused on cleaning wounds, bandaging wounds and changing the bandages in a competent, professional manner. “Today, wound care is experiencing an evolutionary transformation,” according to wound care thought leader, David Navazio, President & CEO of Gentell. He said, “This evolution is based on expanding the view of the entire process, well beyond the actual treatment of wounds, and then by coordinating all of the expanded components into one integrated program.” Navazio notes that integration is the key to strengthening the entire process, from training to tracking to administering care to ordering to delivery, with the potential to achieve significant improvements and efficiencies in patient care and overall process management.

Navazio envisions the wound care paradigm of the future that will harness technology to integrate treatment, data and supplies into a seamless wound care paradigm. One example he provides is in the utilization of artificial intelligence into wound care that will not only compare individual patient cases against a large body of knowledge, it will also advise and anticipate treatment and the individualized supply of products needed to provide treatment, triggering timely, personalized delivery. Navazio lists some key components in this evolutionary wound care paradigm that include:

1) Wound care specific diagnostics & training
The system will include patient specific wound identification, monitoring and treatment advice and tips, that are linked to product recommendations and ordering.

2) Wound care supply chain management
Participants will have access to full inventories of wound care products that can be coordinated and customized based upon the individuals and wounds to be treated, within each facility.

3) Direct distribution delivery
A responsive network of dedicated, wound care warehouses, delivery vehicles and personnel will be linked to the ordering system and coordinated to provide daily delivery to all facilities in the program.

4) State-of-the-art record keeping
A robust system of record keeping will not only serve as a record of treatment, it will also be linked to the diagnostic and ordering components to facilitate ordering and delivery, as well as advising about patient care.

5) Developing the world’s largest wound care database
Compiling and accessing the largest wound care database in the world will enable providers to compare themselves to national or global treatment trends. Protocols can also be compared to discover the most effective course of treatment for specific wounds and even specific types of patients.

Said Navazio, "Ultimately, it is the patient who benefits mostly from this new paradigm because their care can more personalized and in the moment. For care providers, wound care is made more efficient and effective because the entire process will be seamlessly integrated into their systems.”
