Pressure Ulcer Not Visible
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to demonstrate that infrared spectroscopy is able to detect pressure injuries at a very early stage
Detailed 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/
Interventions
DEVICEInfrared spectroscopy (ODP)
Infrared spectroscopy device will be used to detect non-visible pressure injuries

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Early detection of pressure induced tissue damage | Ten minutes | Infrared spectroscopy will indicate on a system-defined scale (yes/no) whether or not the subject has a pressure injury |
| Pressure injury probability | Ten minutes | Infrared spectroscopy will calculate using accepted statistical tools the probability of the subject getting a pressure injury within the next few days |
