Abstract
The present disclosure provides for, and includes, a method of detecting tissue damage before it is visible on a patient's skin, comprising: measuring a plurality of sub-epidermal moisture (SEM) values at a single location at incremental times, calculating a slope between the latest SEM value and the immediately prior SEM value, comparing this slope to a threshold value, and determining that there is tissue damage if the slope exceeds the threshold value.
