MolecuLight i:X for wound imaging

Equality considerations

NICE is committed to promoting equality of opportunity, eliminating unlawful discrimination and fostering good relations between people with particular protected characteristics and others.

MolecuLight i:X is for any patient with an acute or chronic wound. Older people, people with diabetes and those with restricted mobility are more likely to have chronic or non-healing wounds. Age and disability are protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010.

MolecuLight i:X needs the user to be able to distinguish between green and red. The company states that the device should not be used by individuals confirmed to be colour blind. Colour blindness may be considered as a disability under the Equality Act 2010.
