Abstract

In this paper, we present an innovative 3D App for conveniently monitoring the healing status of chronic wounds. The 3D app allows patients or clinicians to simply video a wound, and then generates its 3D digital model with measurement accuracy better than 1 mm. Throughout treatment sessions, the app is able to track the wound growth trend over time. This gives clinicians' objective information on the effectiveness of the treatment.

We present the tracking result from our initial studies on 24 rat wounds.
