From Personalized Wound Care to personalized Cosmetics ?
The Silhouette™ Product Suite seamlessly allows efficient capture and documentation of electronic wound assessment information including images, measurements and clinical notes. Information is integrated from the point-of-care devices to a centralized wound information database. The point-of-care devices capture 3D information about the skin and wound surface so that measurements are more precise. Point-of-care devices include SilhouetteStar™ + SilhouetteConnect™ and SilhouetteMobile™. The wound information database, SilhouetteCentral™, provides the data management capability at the heart of the system, giving users the ability to rapidly organize, share, report and analyze captured wound assessment information.
The Silhouette Product Suite has been developed by ARANZ Medical Limited for medical professionals involved with wound care. ARANZ Medical continues to improve the Silhouette products and is open to modifying the system to meet specific customers' needs.
At DermaNest, we are particularly excited about the potential of Silhouette both in the Wound Care Market and in teh Skin Care Market. Indeed, such technology can provide a professional ( as opposed to consumer) wound-skin imaging solution that can be used for use in combination of a Wound Care and or skin care or cosmetic program.
Silhouette will be showcased at the International Dermatology Technical Forum of June 12th 2012 where the application to Skin care and personalized cosmetics will be explored.
