US tests NASA technology to help patients resist ulcers due to lying long

Technology from NASA's Mars Landers has been used in many hospitals to remove bedsores.

According to the Slashgear technology site, SEM Scanner has helped hospitals remove or reduce ulcers in patients due to lying long.

This technology works by detecting damage in the development of the patient's skin before it develops into an ulcer. This will allow health facilities to deal with and deal with the problem before it becomes more serious.

Postural ulcers are serious conditions when continuous pressure on the skin, such as patients lying in bed, can not be reversed frequently. These ulcers can in some cases be life-threatening and have contributed to the death of many patients. Preventing sores is essential but very difficult.

However, by using an early detection technology derived from a transducer used in NASA's Mars missile ships, hospitals can detect when budding symptoms only. SEM Scanner has been tested in 13 hospitals participating in the "Skin Ulcers Program" in the United States to assess effectiveness. More than 1200 patients have used this technology, providing a large amount of evaluation data.

Of the 13 hospitals, more than half of these confirmed that ulcers due to lying postures were completely removed. Other hospitals reported rates ranging from 11-90%.

Not only does it bring great health to the patients, hospitals will also save considerable amounts of time and associated costs.
