Medical System (AGEL): Digitising patient care in hospitals

The problem: A wound photo was taken on a different device and matched to the patient afterwards. Data was re-typed by hand into hospital systems.

Solution: The photo is captured directly in the app and automatically matched to the right patient and wound. The record and photo go straight into IKIS and PACS, with no re-typing.

Why: At the bedside, hands aren't free and neither is time. What doesn't get re-typed doesn't get mixed up — and staff get more time for the patient instead of admin work.

The problem: Everyone recorded things differently, and records couldn't be compared over time.

Solution: A single form with predefined options for wound type, size and condition.

Why: Only consistent records show whether a wound is healing. And they make remote consultation with a colleague possible.

The problem: The risk of pressure ulcers was assessed by hand and irregularly.

Solution: The app assesses risk from the entered data and flags patients who need attention.

Why: Prevention is cheaper than treatment. The system should warn before a wound forms, not after.
