The year 2023 marked a major turning point for Pixacare, with a particular focus on quality. We are proud to have achieved several key milestones:
For 2024, our QARA objectives are clear: maintain ISO 13485 certification while reinforcing our quality management system, and complete the corrections requested by the notified body on WoundTrack II 's technical documentation in order to obtain class IIa CE marking. Once the CE mark has been affixed, we will be able to market WoundTrack II, our AI for automatic measurement and analysis of chronic wounds.
In 2023, our expansion continued with the deployment of Pixacare in 7 new healthcare establishments, including the prestigious CHU de Nantes and Rouen. This was an exceptional year in terms of increased usage: we welcomed over 1,300 new users, managed 28,000 new patients and secured over 180,000 photos.
As 2024 approaches, several deployments are already scheduled. We'll be sharing details of new customers as they become available. In the meantime, we're delighted to confirm our partnership with the Gustave Roussy Institute, Europe's largest cancer treatment center (CLCC).
2023 was a year rich in encounters. We had the pleasure of meeting you at six major congresses, including EWMA in Milan, Santexpo and the Maxillofacial Surgery Congress. These events were invaluable opportunities to meet doctors, nurses and hospital decision-makers.
With our sights set on 2024, we are already planning our participation in various major conventions. Dates and locations will be regularly updated on the "Events" page of our website. Among the events already scheduled, we'll be present at Santexpo, the Diabetes Congress and the Plastic Surgery Congress.
Our major breakthrough came with the introduction of WoundTrack I, a revolutionary feature enabling semi-automatic calculation of wound surfaces.
The web app has also evolved to better meet the requirements of wound monitoring. We've integrated dedicated questionnaires, designed customizable care protocols, and simplified the addition of new patients, making the tool more intuitive and comprehensive. Read the article.
For the photo library, we've added a comment space, usable via manual input or voice dictation, and fine-tuned collaborative groups to encourage team collaboration.
These arrivals energize our team and strengthen our expertise. At the same time, we also marked a new chapter by moving to eXplora, Nextmed's innovative campus in Strasbourg.
