New Delhi: A network of specialised wound-care Centres of Excellence is set to be established across the country over the next two to three years, amid the growing burden of diabetes and chronic wounds. These centres will offer integrated diagnosis, treatment and long-term monitoring for patients with chronic and non-healing wounds.

The centres are being developed under the Wound Heal Plus initiative of IHLD MedTech, which has received an initial investment of $3 million from Singapore-listed UltraGreen. AI, with the potential for additional investments that could take the total amount to up to $12 million, subject to mutually agreed milestones and other conditions.

The funding will support the expansion of IHLD MedTech's Wound Heal Plus and iLiveConnect platforms.

IHLD MedTech, an Indian medtech company building technology-driven healthcare delivery platforms, said the centres would bring together wound screening, advanced imaging, treatment, rehabilitation and digital follow-up services under one roof, addressing what experts describe as a major but often neglected area of healthcare, news agency PTI reported.

The investment will also help expand iLiveConnect, a doctor-led, AI-enabled continuity-care platform aimed at extending healthcare beyond hospital walls.

There are very few facilities that bring together all aspects of wound diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation under one roof, he said.

"Our centres aim to fill that gap while ensuring that patients continue to receive expert care through digital monitoring and ongoing clinical support," Dr Chandola said.
