Skin assessment near catheters using sensors (AseptuvaINNO)

Description

Aseptuva aims to enhance its existing UV disinfection device by integrating a diagnostic feature that detects early signs of catheter-related infections.

The device, already positioned near catheter-entry sites, will use optical sensing (UV, infrared, visible light) to detect temperature changes and chemical markers indicating infection. This would allow real-time alerts for healthcare workers, improving patient outcomes and reducing workload.
