About your organization / profile
BestHealth4U (BH4U) was founded by Sónia Ferreira and is driven by a deeply personal experience. After suffering from severe skin problems due to the adhesives used in medical devices.
Sónia was inspired to create a better, more advanced solution that could address these issues for patients worldwide.
Her vision resulted in the development of Bio2Skin, a revolutionary, glue-less medical adhesive designed to be gentle on the skin while providing effective adhesion for a wide range of medical applications.
Innovative Technology: Bio2Skin
Bio2Skin is a breakthrough in medical adhesives. Unlike traditional adhesives that rely on glue, Bio2Skin leverages the skin's natural properties, specifically adhering to the water molecules present in the skin. This provides a safe, strong, and skin-friendly adhesive that is gentle and effective in various medical settings.
Bio2Skin's unique features make it applicable to a wide range of medical devices, including:
- - Ostomy bags
- - Tapes and wound dressings
- - Electronic skin-wearables
- - Transdermal delivery skin-patches
- - Kinesiology patches.
This innovative adhesive helps prevent MARSI (medical adhesives-related skin injuries) as skin irritations, allergic reactions, and discomfort commonly caused by traditional glue-based adhesives, providing a better quality of life for patients who rely on medical devices.
Sustainable and Smart Healthcare: adhesivAI
In response to the increasing demand for sustainable healthcare and continuous patient monitoring, BH4U is enhancing its core product, Bio2Skin, into a digital and connected version called adhesivAI. This smart dressing is designed to work in conjunction with digital tracking software, enabling real-time, in situ monitoring of wound healing conditions.
By integrating digital health technology, adhesivAI improves patient outcomes and offers healthcare providers valuable data, reducing hospital visits and the overall burden on healthcare systems. This development reinforces BH4U's commitment to sustainability by reducing waste and energy consumption in the medical field.
