Area of Science:

Biomedical Engineering
Medical Technology
Wound Care

Background:

Accurate wound healing assessment relies on monitoring surface area reduction.
Current wound measurement methods vary in cost and accuracy.
Standard therapeutic goals include 10% reduction in 1 week and 50% in 4 weeks.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and evaluate a novel smartphone-based wound area measurement method.
To compare the accuracy and precision of the new method against commercial devices.

Main Methods:

The AreaMe application uses smartphone software for automatic wound contour recognition.
Wound boundaries are manually traced on transparent foil, photographed over a 1x1 cm grid.
Data is sent to a clinical database, generating wound area change graphs.

Main Results:

The AreaMe method demonstrated higher accuracy and precision than the Visitrak device.
The AreaMe method was less accurate and precise than the SilhouetteMobile device.
Statistical analysis confirmed AreaMe's superior performance over Visitrak.

Conclusions:

The AreaMe application presents a viable, cost-effective alternative for wound area measurement.
It offers improved accuracy and data storage capabilities compared to the Visitrak device.
This tool can enhance clinical decision-making in wound management.
