Our mission at Wounds is to improve patient care using artificial intelligence. At a time when payers are moving towards value-based care and reimbursement schemes, healthcare organizations now require consistent, repeatable approaches to chronic care and population health. The costs of failing are now greater. We believe the best way to do this is to provide tools for linking the many data silos in medical facilities together with context.
