About our project
Chronic Wounds: an underestimated problem
Two years ago we went to a wound congress and we met some nurses, looking for a solution to help them when they are alone at patients’ place, confronted with wound healing impairment. For us the solution was clear, mobile technology could help the care provider and enhance the communication, anytime, anywhere. We have been working 18 months to understand better wound care process and offer a solution that fits the clinical setting. +WoundDesk is designed by providers for providers.
