Continuous Insight for Continuous Healing

At the core of every DigiBooBoo device is a biomedical-grade Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor, the same sensing technology used in professional patient-monitoring systems. Current prototypes use the Amphenol MA300TA103C disc sensor and the Amphenol MA Series “rice” thermistor, each measuring only a few millimeters across and designed specifically for contact temperature measurement on human tissue (Amphenol Advanced Sensors, 2020; 2024).

These sensors feature ±0.1 °C interchangeability tolerance and rapid thermal response, enabling high-resolution tracking of subtle peri-wound temperature changes. Their miniature size allows them to be positioned within or adjacent to standard dressings without affecting comfort or performance. For wounds requiring broader coverage, multiple thermistors can be used in parallel to monitor large or irregular surfaces, a capability in active development for future DigiBooBoo multi-sensor designs.

DigiBooBoo enhances existing wound-care practice without disruption. Device setup takes less than five minutes before dressing application. Once applied, it remains always on and continuously transmitting, with no manual calibration or user intervention.

Baseline temperature data are automatically recorded during the first monitoring hour to establish a patient-specific reference range that improves trend interpretation and reduces false alarms. Because the thermistor assembly integrates directly into a familiar dressing-change routine, DigiBooBoo can be implemented without additional training or workflow complexity. Early pilot testing demonstrated seamless integration into standard care with no measurable increase in procedure time (Internal Pilot Data, 2025).

Peri-wound skin temperature is a well-established early indicator of healing status and inflammation. Rising temperature often precedes visible infection or cellulitis by 24–48 hours (Nakagami et al., 2023; Dini et al., 2024). Conversely, reduced local temperature may indicate ischemia or delayed healing. Continuous temperature monitoring provides a dynamic profile rather than static spot checks, improving early detection and documentation of wound trajectory.

By capturing these subtle thermal shifts, DigiBooBoo offers clinicians continuous physiologic insight that supports timely, evidence-based intervention and more predictable recovery.

Once applied, DigiBooBoo begins automatic temperature uploads every 15 minutes using a global cellular SIM card built into each device. The SIM automatically detects and connects to the strongest available carrier, with outage protection fallback to maintain coverage when networks fluctuate.

Each reading is timestamped and securely encrypted before transmission. This cellular approach eliminates dependence on Wi-Fi and prevents common interruptions in hospitals, clinics, or home environments, ensuring consistent, uninterrupted patient monitoring.

Temperature readings are transmitted through Fathym’s OpenIndustrial connected-systems platform, which manages data routing and visualization for global pharmaceutical and industrial clients (OpenIndustrial, 2025; Fathym, 2025). All transmissions are encrypted and stored in environments compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

DigiBooBoo devices never transmit personally identifiable information. Each unit sends only temperature data and a unique device ID. Patient identifiers remain within the healthcare provider’s record system. Access controls, audit trails, and anonymization maintain confidentiality while allowing clinicians to view real-time temperature trends through a simple, web-based dashboard. The platform functions as a decision-support tool that complements professional clinical judgment.

Each DigiBooBoo device meets global regulatory, safety, and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards (QuickSpot, 2025). The device records temperature every 20 seconds and averages readings over 15-minute intervals before transmission. This process smooths short-term fluctuations and improves accuracy while conserving cellular bandwidth and power.

If connectivity is interrupted, DigiBooBoo temporarily stores data and automatically backfills it once service resumes. Built-in options for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and GPS allow flexibility for future use cases. The same architecture can accommodate additional sensors as wound-monitoring needs evolve.

The DigiBooBoo clinician dashboard provides a clear, trend-focused view of wound-healing progress. Temperature readings are displayed as graphs, helping clinicians identify patterns over time rather than focusing on individual readings.

Users can select short-term (24-hour), medium-term (4-day), or long-term (4-week) trend views that align with different stages of healing. Individual patient views include precise temperature data, wound notes, and event annotations such as dressing changes.

By emphasizing context and clarity, DigiBooBoo delivers continuous insight without cognitive overload, helping care teams make timely, confident decisions.

DigiBooBoo’s algorithms track sustained temperature patterns, not one-off spikes, reducing false alarms and alert fatigue. After initial injury or surgery, localized temperatures are expected to rise. The system recognizes this baseline and monitors for sustained upward trends or spikes above 38.8 °C (101.8 °F) that persist beyond expected recovery windows (Nakagami et al., 2023; Dini et al., 2024).

As recovery continues, a gradual temperature decline is anticipated. Unexpected increases can signal infection or delayed healing, while unusually low readings—often seen in diabetic ulcers or ischemic wounds—may suggest reduced blood flow (Wound Repair and Regeneration, 2022).

Customizable thresholds support individualized wound-care protocols, allowing early action while minimizing alert fatigue.

All DigiBooBoo data are filtered, averaged, and contextualized before appearing on the dashboard. Continuous thermography provides context missing from spot checks, correlating trends with dressing changes or wound observations (Dini et al., 2024).

Unlike consumer wearables, DigiBooBoo relies on medical-grade NTC thermistors validated for clinical accuracy within ±0.1 °C (Amphenol Advanced Sensors, 2024). Every data point is traceable and repeatable, ensuring reliability in regulated medical settings. This data augments clinical judgment and supports informed, evidence-based decision-making.

Continuous peri-wound thermography enables clinicians to detect subtle physiologic changes before visible infection or tissue decline. Sustained temperature increases of about 2 °C (3.6 °F) often precede infection indicators by over a day, offering a window for early reassessment and preventive action (Nakagami et al., 2023; Dini et al., 2024).

By tracking these patterns, DigiBooBoo provides a dynamic view of wound status rather than relying on occasional checks. When concerning trends appear, clinicians can verify the site early, supporting timely intervention and potentially reducing readmissions related to wound complications.

DigiBooBoo fits naturally into existing workflows. When an alert occurs, staff can review the trend graph, confirm dressing condition, and document findings during routine charting. Providers can then order cultures, adjust treatment, or plan earlier follow-up.

These actions align with the Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) framework recognized by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Under CPT codes 99453 (setup), 99454 (data transmission), and 99457–99458 (communication), practices can bill for setup, monitoring, and follow-up. DigiBooBoo supports sustainable adoption of continuous monitoring while improving efficiency.

Temperature trends are automatically compiled, alerts are tiered by priority, and documentation integrates with electronic health record (EHR) systems. The result is more data, less manual effort, and better outcomes.

DigiBooBoo’s architecture extends beyond wound care. The same platform supports burn recovery, graft assessment, reconstructive surgery monitoring, and post-incision surveillance—any situation where temperature and perfusion indicate healing.

Future versions may incorporate sensors for moisture, pH, oxygenation, or pressure, expanding insights without changing workflows. For health systems and investors, this represents a scalable digital-care platform that supports clinical research, analytics, and next-generation remote-care delivery.

As wounds heal, temperature trends flatten and stabilize, showing reduced inflammation and normalized perfusion. Continuous data confirm recovery milestones and support accurate documentation.

Each DigiBooBoo device is designed to operate through most recovery periods before needing to be recharged or replaced. For long-term cases such as chronic ulcers, the device can be swapped or recharged without interrupting data collection.

The result is recovery and relief. Patients heal faster, safer, and smarter with real-time wound insights guiding every stage of care. Clinicians gain confidence in their treatment decisions, and patients experience lasting peace of mind throughout recovery.

DigiBooBoo functions independently of hospital networks, maintaining continuous monitoring as patients move from inpatient to home care. No patient setup or technical configuration is required. Once applied, the device keeps transmitting data automatically, allowing clinicians to monitor healing progress until full recovery.

This seamless transition bridges the gap between inpatient and outpatient care, helping prevent complications and ensuring patients remain supported after discharge.

Aggregated, de-identified temperature data allow healthcare organizations to measure outcomes, improve workflows, and strengthen care protocols. Independent studies show that continuous thermography can enable earlier interventions and reduce infection-related readmissions (Dini et al., 2024).

As DigiBooBoo scales, these datasets will help identify best practices, drive predictive modeling, and inform evidence-based standards across facilities. By combining patient-level and population-level insight, DigiBooBoo contributes to smarter, safer, and faster recovery for every patient.
