Instruments in development
New ways to measure the health of skin.
Carruthers Instruments is a Vancouver research company building measuring techniques for cutaneous health — turning what a clinician assesses by eye and by touch into something that can be recorded, compared and tracked over time.
Illustrative reading. Measurement data will be published alongside the instruments.
What we're working on
Skin health is still largely graded by subjective scales. Two clinicians looking at the same patient often record two different numbers, and a patient's progress across years of treatment is difficult to compare in any rigorous way.
We are developing instruments and techniques that measure cutaneous properties directly, so that assessments are repeatable between clinicians, between visits and between sites.
