In dermatology, too, the optimization of the treatment of acute and chronic wounds is the focus of many clinical studies. In addition to wound cleansing, modern bioactive wound dressings and cold atmospheric pressure plasma represent innovative treatment options. Another major goal in this field is the non-invasive and reliable diagnosis of skin cancer using hyperspectral camera technology and artificial intelligence.
As part of a pilot study by the research group led by Prof. Emmert (University Medical Center Rostock), it is currently being tested whether therapy with cold atmospheric pressure plasma has a favorable influence on the healing process of split skin removal sites and prevents possible complications such as infections. Here, the course of wound healing is documented, among other things by means of hyperspectral technology, and thus different wound therapies are objectively compared with each other.
In another study from Greifswald, the TIVITA is used to monitor the wound healing process of split skin removal sites on the thigh, which were treated with a wound gel.
