Bridging the Gap Between Technology, Healthcare, and Better Patient Outcomes
By Evan J. Cholfin
What If Wound Care Wasn't Just About Healing—But About Transforming Patient Outcomes?
Wound care is a critical yet often overlooked aspect of healthcare, affecting millions of patients worldwide. Chronic wounds, diabetic ulcers, and post-surgical complications can significantly impact patient recovery, yet the industry has struggled with outdated methods, inconsistent care, and a lack of technological advancement.
But what if wound healing could be transformed through innovation, integration, and a smarter approach to care?
That’s exactly what Rupinder Singh, President of Gentell for the UK & Europe, is doing.
On the latest episode of A Healthier, Happier You, we dive into how Gentell is reshaping wound care, the barriers to innovation in healthcare systems like the NHS, and why it’s time for a new approach to patient healing.

The Biggest Challenge in Wound Care? The System Itself.
According to Rupinder, one of the toughest barriers to innovation isn’t the science—it’s the healthcare system.
Many healthcare organizations, especially within the NHS, have been using the same approaches to wound care for decades. When a system is deeply ingrained in its ways, introducing change is difficult—even when that change can dramatically improve patient outcomes.
💡 The solution? Finding "Change Champions"—key decision-makers and forward-thinking clinicians willing to adopt new technologies and methodologies to improve wound care at scale.
Gentell’s strategy isn’t just about selling products—it’s about fixing the model itself so that better care becomes the new standard.
How Gentell’s Integrated Approach Is Changing the Game
Gentell doesn’t just provide wound dressings. They’ve built an entire ecosystem for better wound healing.
✅ Advanced Medical Devices → From standard dressings to antimicrobial solutions, closure devices, and advanced wound care materials.
✅ Specialist Wound Care Providers → 150+ clinical wound advisors & nurses providing hands-on, patient-specific care.
✅ Smart Technology → Fastcare, a proprietary platform that tracks healing progress, ensures proper treatment, and makes data-driven decisions for better patient outcomes.
The result? Faster healing times, improved patient care, and a more cost-effective approach for healthcare providers.
Why Oxygen is the Future of Wound Healing
One of Gentell’s most exciting breakthroughs is Gentell Blue (RTD), a next-generation wound care product designed to improve healing, particularly for diabetic foot wounds.
💡 The secret? Oxygen.
Oxygen plays a fundamental role in cell regeneration and tissue repair. Gentell’s RTD technology:
🔹 Encourages oxygen infusion into the wound
🔹 Delivers antimicrobial benefits to reduce infection risk
🔹 Standardizes care for chronic wounds, improving healing rates
With a growing number of diabetic patients worldwide, this innovation could change the way chronic wounds are treated—leading to fewer complications and better long-term health outcomes.
The NHS & European Healthcare: A Perfect Fit for Gentell
In 2018, the UK government published the National Wound Care Strategy, outlining major gaps in wound care, including:
⚠️ Poor patient outcomes
⚠️ Lack of standardization
⚠️ Limited specialist nurses
⚠️ Inadequate education & training
Gentell’s patient-specific approach, integrated technology, and innovative products align perfectly with these gaps, making Gentell a natural solution for healthcare systems across Europe.
As someone who spent over a decade regulating the NHS and working in healthcare strategy, Rupinder knows exactly what’s needed to implement real change.
What’s Next for Gentell?
💡 Expansion across Europe → Bringing Fastcare & integrated wound care solutions to more healthcare providers.
💡 Bridging the gap between technology & healthcare → Helping hospitals and clinics transition to smarter, data-driven wound management.
💡 Improving patient outcomes at scale → Reducing healing time, lowering costs, and setting a new global standard for wound care.
Gentell isn’t just innovating in wound healing—they’re revolutionizing patient care from the ground up.
