The Goals of the Solution

• The Goals of the Solution:

  A new, effective, cheap and available medical technology of intermittent negative pressure therapy (INPT), which will contribute to improving the health of the Czech population, but primarily a proexport item. The solution will be created in two variants - human and veterinary. The human variant is intended for patients with limb perfusion disorders, especially diabetics, the veterinary variant for laminitis. The MD will include not only a digitized solution to monitor limb perfusion changes during treatment, but also feedback control using ICT, artificial intelligence and a learning system. This will enable telemedical management of the procedure, monitoring of its benefit as well as intelligent improvement of treatment intervention. both ambulatory and home treatment will be enabled.
