The Challenge

Every burn deserves
intelligent care.

11 million people suffer burn injuries every year. Most lack access to proper diagnosis and treatment.

Traditional care is slow, expensive, and often unavailable in rural areas. We're changing that.

Limited access to burn care in rural areas
Delayed detection of infection complications
High cost of existing smart dressings

Our Solution

A single wearable device that combines diagnosis and treatment, providing:

  • Real-time wound monitoring via sensors
  • Natural healing through honey, collagen & curcumin
  • AI-powered burn severity classification
  • Affordable design for resource-limited areas

Technical Deep Dive

Precision meets
accessibility.

Medical-grade measurements for home healthcare

Burn Classification

Superficial (1st): Red, painful, heals in 3-7 days
Partial Thickness (2nd): Blisters, very painful, 2-6 weeks
Full Thickness (3rd): White/black, no pain, requires surgery
Device detects via multi-sensor analysis (temp, moisture)

Sensor Technical Specs

Temperature: ±0.5°C accuracy (25-50°C range)
Humidity: ±3% RH (20-95% typical range)
Sampling Rate: 2 samples/second (0.5Hz update to display)

Target Demographics

Developing countries: 95% of burn deaths in low/middle-income nations (WHO)
Children at risk: Highest rates in children under 5 years old
Home accidents: 60% from scalds, 25% from flames, 15% other causes

Home Medical Device

Like blood pressure monitors: Daily home monitoring
Like glucometers: Instant readings & alerts
Affordable: 680 EGP (~$14 USD) - Accessible for everyone
Simple: No medical training required

11M+ Annual burn injuries worldwide
