Portable wound assessment devices aid healing evaluation. Two-dimensional (2D) devices show reliable performance for wound measurement, though more research is needed for 3D and app-based tools.
Area of Science:
- Biomedical Engineering
- Wound Care Technology
- Medical Diagnostics
Background:
- Accurate wound assessment is critical for effective healing progression and treatment planning.
- Portable wound assessment devices offer a viable solution for evaluating wounds in community settings.
- This review critically examines the performance of portable wound assessment techniques.
Conclusions:
- Two-dimensional (2D) portable wound assessment devices are well-studied and exhibit strong performance metrics.
- Further research is recommended to explore the potential of three-dimensional (3D) and application-based wound assessment instruments.

01:25Assessment of apical radial pulse
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.

The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
