Nima Ahmadi, CEO of The Wound Company, highlights the need for qualified and certified wound care experts to work with patients on a continuous basis. This kind of relationship allows the care provider to proactively manage the wound to ensure efficient healing as quickly as possible.  Personalized plans are created using AI and data analysis, considering the patient's risk factors and specific details about the wound and their general health condition. 

Nima explains, "We think about being in a continuous relationship with everybody who has a wound, ensuring its healing. Then, we continue to be proactive as we manage patients who are at risk of new wounds or repeat wounds so that we're doing everything we can preventatively to prevent that from happening. This is completely different than how we've approached wound care for the last few decades."

"We have certified experts, and our vision is that in ten years, every single American with a wound will have a certified wound care expert from The Wound Company assigned to their care. The expert is quarterbacking their wound care and ensuring they will heal as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. As part of that vision of assigning that coordination, we're also doing virtual and in-person, in some cases, wound care so that it's a one-stop shop experience for the patient to help them heal effectively and efficiently. And we have a tremendous amount of technology and other assets to help our clinicians do that multichannel wound care."
