We provided medical writing support to Bruin Biometrics, a global medical device company based in the USA. The project involved a quality improvement study, which aimed to assess the use of the company’s sub-epidermal moisture assessment technology to prevent pressure injuries across diverse skin tones.

Our approach involved support in several areas:

• Data interpretation and analysis, leading to accurate and meaningful results that documented the efficacy of the new technology.

• Manuscript development, ensuring the paper met the rigorous standards required for publication while adhering to the Standards for Quality Improvement Reporting Excellence (SQUIRE) 2.0 guidelines.

• Journal submission, involving facilitating the submission process to the journal chosen by the authors and managing the submission and rebuttal process, to enhance the likelihood of acceptance and publication.

The publication demonstrates the effectiveness of Bruin Biometrics’ Provizio SEM Scanner in preventing pressure injuries across different skin tones.

This is one of many projects we have undertaken to support innovation and quality improvement in healthcare. 

"I had the pleasure of working with Nexcea on a key publication focused on the impact of Sub-Epidermal Moisture (SEM) technology, particularly its role in detecting pressure ulcers in patients with dark skin tones. Pressure ulcer detection has long been challenging in individuals with darker skin, and Bruin Biometrics' SEM Technology offers a ground-breaking solution by identifying tissue damage before visible signs appear. Paul Riley PhD, and Meg Smith PhD, brought a wealth of expertise, helping us effectively convey the clinical significance of SEM technology. Their ability to translate complex scientific concepts into a compelling and accessible narrative was invaluable. Thanks to their efforts, our publication reached a wide audience and highlighted a crucial advancement in patient care. I highly recommend Nexcea for their deep understanding of life sciences, professionalism, and commitment to delivering impactful results."
