Fast Company Names Bruin Biometrics, Developer of Pressure Injury Detection and Prevention Technology, one of World’s 10 Most Innovative Medical Device Makers
Judges Point to Provizio® SEM Scanner’s Proven Capability of Early Detection of Pressure Injuries Regardless of Patients’ Skin Color
LOS ANGELES, March 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bruin Biometrics LLC, a medical technology platform company that provides digital solutions for pressure injury prevention and management to health systems in the U.S. and U.K., announced it has been named by Fast Company as one of the World’s 10 Most Innovative Companies in the medical device category.
Profiled in the publication’s March 18 feature, Bruin Biometrics was selected for its development and roll-out of the Provizio® SEM Scanner, a handheld medical device that is the foundation for hospitals’ pressure injury prevention programs. Since the technology’s launch in 2019, nurses and other healthcare professionals have scanned more than 1 million patients that resulted in the documented prevention of approximately 50,000 pressure injuries. Fast Company highlighted the Provizio SEM Scanner’s effectiveness with all skin colors as one of the technology’s unique innovations.
“We are honored by our selection by one of the most authoritative and respected media outlets in the world,” said Martin Burns, Chief Executive Officer of Bruin Biometrics. “Pressure Injuries have no place in modern healthcare. This recognition reflects our commitment to providing hospitals, clinicians and nurses worldwide with the right tools to prevent pressure injuries that are truly 100 percent preventable. In the case of dark-skinned patients, the current protocols calling for visual, subjective evaluations are ineffective. We eliminate the challenges with the Provizio SEM Scanner. And not only are pressure injuries dangerous and debilitating to patients, they are very costly to health systems and impact quality of care ratings. This recognition comes at a transformational time for Bruin Biometrics as we deploy our digital platform PIPPA™ (Pressure Injury Prevention Personal Assistant) that enables users to seamlessly integrate the Provizio SEM Scanner with existing EHR and other systems.”
