Summary

This study tests a handheld device called the SEM Scanner that detects early skin damage up to 10 days before it's visible. Nursing home staff will use it during weekly skin checks to decide when to start prevention care. The goal is to reduce painful pressure injuries, especially in residents with dark skin where visual checks often miss early signs. The study involves over 4,700 residents and compares results to the year before the device was used.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Provizio SEM Scanner (a device that measures sub-epidermal moisture)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help nursing home staff prevent pressure injuries before they start, reducing pain and complications.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 2 trial, so it's still early. The device may not reliably prevent injuries in all residents, and results may vary across nursing homes.
