目前，对伤口组织的临床评估都是通过肉眼检查进行的，伤口大小(宽度、长度和深度)的测量通常通过一次性尺子、基于透明胶带的边缘追踪、液体填充，甚至是试纸拭子进行。由于选择参考点来测量伤口的尺寸是非常主观的，测量结果通常是不可重复的和粗略的，报告的面积测量误差高达44%。我们在移动平台上推出了一种新的测量解决方案或应用程序，以直接应对当前慢性伤口护理面临的挑战。该应用程序使用计算机视觉算法在3D数字空间进行定量测量。由于我们的应用程序采用客户端-服务器框架，允许基于移动应用程序的简单伤口视频上传，轻松访问和分析患者数据，因此它旨在显著减少慢性伤口护理的不便和高成本障碍。
Currently, clinical assessments on wound tissues are all done through visual inspection only, and wound size measurements (width, length and depth) are commonly done through either a disposable ruler, transparent tape based edge tracing, liquid filling, or even a dipstick swab. Since it is very subjective to select reference points to measure the wound’s dimension, the measured results are often non-repeatable and crude with up to 44% error in area measurement reported. We present a new measurement solution or app on mobile platforms to directly tackle the challenges facing current chronic wound care. The app uses computer vision algorithms for quantitative measurement in 3D digital space. Since our app utilizes a client-server framework to allow mobile app based simple wound video uploading, easy patient data access and analysis, it is designed to significantly reduce the inconvenience and high cost barriers for chronic wound care.
