The wound management system is a simple, portable, computer-based approach to wound
assessment that implements both digital and infrared imaging technology. The digital
image is analyzed to determine wound area and color properties, while the infrared image
will be analyzed to determine blood perfusion properties of the wound.
The purpose of the wound management system is to provide a simple and cost-effective
method by which health care personnel can quantify the healing rate of a wound, assess
the effectiveness of wound care treatment techniques, and document wound healing
progress. The computer-based system improves the repeatability and effectiveness of both
