Eden Medical News
At Eden Medical we have been developing a number of innovative technologies for the wound care marketplace. Check out of some of the most our most recent publications and videos.
Recent Research
New Wound Healing patent(US 11,195,281)- issued on December 7, 2021- A novel method for determining healing progress of a tissue disease state includes receiving a thermal image of a target wound area from a thermal imaging system, processing the thermal image to construct an isotherm map of at least one selected area, determining a thermal index value from the isotherm map, correlating the wound thermal index value with a reference thermal index value representative of an injury-free state.

Great news! The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded the Smart Foot Mat grant (DK13760701A1) for Ulceration Risk Assessment
We are developing the Smart Foot Mat(SfM), a $425K Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant with a powerful game-changing strategy having diabetics step on their smart mat at home once a day to monitor their foot oximetry and temperature over time to alert them early signs of ulcer onset. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) biomarkers provide a quantitative ulcer risk metric and can used to predict diabetic foot onset. Complications of diabetes that affect the lower extremities are common, complex, and costly. Diabetes is the most common metabolic disease worldwide with global cost of diabetes management including foot ulceration is now $825 billion dollars every year. Foot ulceration is the most frequently recognized complication with 537 million adults who live with diabetes globally and it predicted to rise to 643 million by 2030. Recent investigations suggest that 40% of patients experience a recurrent diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) in the year after healing, and almost 60% within 3 years. Daily in-home monitoring will provide ulcer-free living for high-risk diabetic patients.
World's First Disposable Medical Pump-EdenPump
The EdenPump (US Patent 9,046,085) is a body worn medical pump(16 mm diameter) which operates using a polymer muscle. It's applications include wound irrigation, subcutaneous injection, and wound therapy. It has been clinically proven for medical sealant delivery for a skin barrier product.

Commercialization Accelerator Program(CAP) Grant
Eden Medical was recently selected for 2019-2020 Commercialization Accelerator Program (CAP) by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) program office. This award is following our $1.5 M Phase 2 SBIR funded grant from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) for the development of the Infrared Eyes (iREyes) imaging system. The selection for this program highlights the commercial value and clinical significance for Artificial Intelligence (AI) guided thermal imaging and its potential to assess ulcer recurrence and provide ulcer-free days. This highly competitive CAP NIH program will help us strengthen our commercialization plan and business model, and engage with both industry partners and investors.
