Study to address the substantial challenge of healthcare inequality in the early detection of pressure injuries in people of dark skin tonesPressureSafe, a skin-color agnostic decision support device, uses AI and infrared light to see beneath skin’s surface to detect biomarkers of pressure injuryInterim results from a usability study in Israel indicate PressureSafe identified early-stage pressure injuries with 96% accuracy Rosh Pina, Israel, Sept.

研究解决在早期发现深色皮肤压力患者的压力损伤方面医疗保健不平等的重大挑战Safe是一种与肤色无关的决策支持设备，使用AI和红外光观察皮肤表面下方的压力损伤生物标志物以色列可用性研究的结果表明压力有96%准确度的早期压力损伤Rosh Pina，以色列，9月。

26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IR-MED Inc., (“IR-MED” or the “Company”) (OTCQB:IRME), developer of a noninvasive artificial intelligence (AI) driven spectrographic analysis technology platform to address significant healthcare needs, announced today it has signed a Clinical Trial Agreement with the Methodist Healthcare System of San Antonio to conduct a useability study titled “Safety and Efficacy of the PressureSafe Device for Early Detection of Pressure Injury in People with Various Skin Tones, Including Dark Skin Tones.” Methodist Healthcare is recognized as the most respected healthcare provider in its region.

262023（GLOBE NEWSWIRE）-IR-MED Inc.，（“IR-MED”或“公司”）（OTCJB:IRME），开发无创人工智能（AI）驱动的光谱分析技术平台，以解决重大的医疗需求，今天宣布，它已与圣安东尼奥卫理公会医疗保健系统签署了一项临床试验协议，开展了一项名为“PressureSafe装置的安全性和有效性的可用性研究，用于早期发现各种肤色，包括深色肤色的人的压力损伤。”卫理公会医疗保健被公认为该地区最受尊重的医疗保健提供者。

With a network of 85 hospitals, 9 of which are acute care facilities, Methodist Healthcare employs more than 11,000 people, including 2,700 physicians. Approximately 50% of subjects recruited for the upcoming study will have dark skin tone, thus producing comparative data on PressureSafe’s accuracy as a decision support device in detecting early-stage pressure injuries in people of darker and lighter skin tones.

卫理公会医疗保健公司拥有85家医院，其中9家是急症护理机构，雇用11000多名人员，其中2700名医生。为即将进行的研究招募的大约50%的受试者将具有深色肤色，从而产生关于压力安全准确度的比较数据，作为检测较暗和较浅肤色人群早期压力损伤的决策支持装置。

While early stage pressure injuries can be more difficult to see on dark skin tones, the current standard of care for the detection of pressure injuries is visual skin inspection. Research shows that people with dark skin tones suffer from pressure injury at more than twice the rate of those with lighter skin.

虽然在深色肤色上可能更难以看到早期压力损伤，但目前用于检测压力损伤的护理标准是视觉皮肤检查。研究表明，肤色较深的人遭受压力伤害的速度是皮肤较浅者的两倍以上。
