Abstract
Introduction: Wound dimensions can be measured using various methods, including photographs, comparisons, rulers, or grids. Modern smartphones, equipped with high-quality cameras, are now more accessible and affordable, offering new opportunities in medical applications. Specialised smartphone apps have contributed numerous benefits in healthcare, particularly for wound measurement. One such app, Imitomeasure, has been developed specifically to measure wound dimensions without direct contact. This non-contact approach reduces the risk of infection compared to traditional methods using rulers or tape. Studies assessing the effectiveness of Imitomeasure have shown it to be highly effective for measuring wound dimensions. Methods: In this research, the size of the Pressure sore was measured using the Imitomeasure app on a smartphone. Post debridement and regenerative therapy, and negative pressure wound therapy size of pressure sore was noted by a free of cost, easily accessible application on the mobile phone. Results: The Immitomeasure application helped calculate wound size accurately at multiple time intervals and see progression of healing. Conclusion: Imitomeasure smartphone application can be used efficiently for measuring the size and progression of wounds efficiently with a non-contact method.
