About

The aim of this study is to demonstrate that infrared spectroscopy is able to detect pressure injuries at a very early stage

Full description

During pressure injuries formation early sub dermal bio signal appear. By applying infrared spectroscopy at a suspicions injury site on the human body and obtaining a reflected infrared light infrared allows to determine early formation of a pressure injury/
