  • Digital wound outcomes monitoring and reporting to support objective assessment of wound status, improved treatment planning and referral.
  • Secure, remote access to real time wound status data across pathway.

Silhouette enables:

  • New models of care, including telehealth consultation.
  • Integrated care.
  • Better patient and staff experience.

 

About

The Silhouette technology presents a significant opportunity for supporting better clinical management and outcomes for patients with chronic wounds such as pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers and acute/surgical wounds. 

This award-winning system includes an imaging 3D camera that precisely and consistently measures the area, depth & volume of wounds to track and report healing progress.

The Silhouette system is made up of three main parts – a point of care wound camera, smart software for measuring wounds, & a wound information database:

  • The SilhouetteStar® specialised camera captures the wound image.
  • SilhouetteConnect® software for accurate 3D measurements of the wound based on the data acquired by SilhouetteStar (see below), together with healing progress charts & electronic wound assessment summary reports. 
  • SilhouetteCentral®, a secure Internet-accessible database that stores & consolidates the information obtained from the organisation’s SilhouetteStar + SilhouetteConnect devices, including integration with 3rd party EPR systems.

Silhouette provides reliable and reproducible wound status data to support clinical decisions. Silhouette is easy to use & is ready to integrate with EMR systems. Silhouette is proven in both clinical research & clinical practice and is now available for widespread use.
