KroniKare Pte Ltd

Every 30 seconds, someone around the globe undergoes an amputation due to a chronic wound. Underlying causes of chronic wounds such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, obesity and aging are all rising rapidly, costing the healthcare industry over $100b annually. A shortage of wound care nurses makes the problem worse.

The KroniKare Wound Scanner (KWS), a revolutionary AI-powered system to automate the assessment and management of chronic wounds, started off as a post-doc research project between the Singapore University of Technology & Design (SUTD) and a local community hospital in 2017. Wound care nurses had highlighted the problems and challenges of chronic wounds to the KroniKare team.

Fast forward 6 years and the KWS is today a commercialized, state-of-the-art, AI-powered system for the assessment and management of chronic wounds. This multi-award winning, patented system has received the Health Sciences Authority of Singapore (HSA) Class B approval and the prestigious CE Mark certification (CE MDR Class IIa) and has been launched in Europe.

Japan has 11.8% of its population with diabetes and has a large aging population. Diabetes and older individuals are more prone to chronic wounds, making Japan a very important market for KroniKare.
