September is designated as Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Awareness Month. Blockages or narrowing of the blood vessels can lead to serious medical consequences. To raise awareness with both our medical colleagues and the public, we welcome your participation in our annual Show Your Toes challenge. Checking your feet for changes can help with early detection. Tag us in your images and we will share them on our networks. Follow our pages for more educational opportunities this month.

In a webinar hosted by the Association for the Advancement of Wound Care (AAWC) (AAWC), we introduced how the Wound Reference Clinical Decision Support System is transforming how clinicians access trusted answers in real time.

📚 What makes it different?
✔️ A continually updated, CMS-aligned, evidence-based knowledge base
✔️ Purpose-built AI that searches only within verified, vetted content
✔️ No open-web risks - just reliable, focused results
✔️ Summarized answers with source links, saving time at the bedside

Built on generative AI, enhanced with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and rigorously tested for clinical reliability -WoundReference brings the power of AI to wound care, responsibly.

🤔 If you could ask a responsible AI tool any question at the point of care, what would it be?
