LONDON – Smith+Nephew has launched the Wound Compass Clinical Support App, a comprehensive digital support tool for health care professionals in decision making and assessment. "Practice variation has been shown to negatively impact clinical outcomes in chronic wound patients" said Claudia Matei, marketing director for Digital Health and Value Based Programs at Smith+Nephew. "More and more, we see non-wound specialists managing chronic wounds. With limited wound care education and experience, this has contributed to significant challenges with practice variation." The easy-to-use app categorizes wounds by location on the body, wound type, wound appearance, the volume of exudate and wound depth. Based on this information, it provides guidance on treatment and products, and when to consult a specialist. The guidance is accompanied by additional educational resources, images and diagrams to help with decision-making when treating wounds. The app can also be customized to local customer formulary.
