Most remote health devices ask patients to:

• download an app
• connect to Wi‑Fi
• pair Bluetooth
• create an account

We think there should be an easier way. DigiBooBoo is built with cellular data transmission already inside.

No setup. Coming soon.

Where do ulcers most often develop? 🤔

Feet, heels, buttocks - areas under pressure or reduced blood flow.

Visualizing these locations can make training and patient education much more effective.

Artificial Intelligence–Enhanced Wound Care to Improve Access, Efficacy, and Equity in Wound Care for Older Adults in Rural and Remote Regions of Canada Wound care is an increasing global challenge, with older adults among those most affected. As populations age, the demand for effective and efficient wound care increases. Over the years, various wound assessment and care techniques have been developed, including digital wound care technology (DWCT), which uses innovative artificial intelligence (AI). Many older adults, especially those living in rural and remote areas, face significant barriers in obtaining timely and effective wound care, leading to poorer health outcomes and increased health care costs related to wound care. These challenges underscore the urgent need to implement wound care models that equitably improve access to care and enhance clinical outcomes, particularly for older adults, to promote healthy aging and age-in-place. Based on evidence from the literature and the initial implementation of a DWCT in 2 community health systems in Ontario, this viewpoint paper encourages clinicians and health care leaders to embrace and expand the implementation of an AI-driven DWCT to address inequities in access to high-quality, timely care. The experiences from these implementations indicate that the use of AI can support clinical decision-making and extend access to care for individuals in rural and remote communities in Canada. By leveraging DWCT powered by AI, health care providers can enhance the accuracy and consistency of wound assessments, improve communication, streamline care processes, and more effectively allocate resources, ultimately aiming to reduce disparities in wound care outcomes.

Utility of a Smartphone-Based Clinical Decision Support System for Pressure Ulcer Management by Physicians: Randomized Crossover Pilot Study Background: Clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) are widely used in various health care settings. In Japan, pressure ulcers are becoming a major concern in an aging society due to their increasing prevalence. However, management is often handled by nonspecialists in wound care due to regional disparities in specialist availability. Objective: To provide support for nonspecialists in wound care, we developed a prototype smartphone-based CDSS for pressure ulcer management. The system prompts users to answer questions about the wound's condition and recommends appropriate ointments and wound dressings by using a safety-first approach. This study aims to evaluate the utility of this system. Methods: We conducted a randomized crossover pilot study involving 28 general internal medicine (GIM) physicians. Participants were randomly assigned to group A (intervention-control) or group B (control-intervention). Participants evaluated 10 standardized pressure ulcer photographs and selected the most appropriate ointment and wound dressing for each. The unit of analysis was the individual response to each question (N=280 total observations). We used generalized estimating equations with an exchangeable correlation structure to account for within-subject clustering and adjust for potential period and sequence effects. Results: The overall correct response rate during the intervention phase was significantly higher than that during the control phase (49.3% vs 4.3%, respectively). After adjusting for clustering and crossover biases, the use of CDSS was associated with a 29.1-fold increase in the odds of a correct response (95% CI 8.2-103; P
