Abstract
Various methods exist for measuring wound dimensions, including photography, comparison, ruler, or graph techniques1. With the advancement of current-generation smartphones equipped with high-quality built-in cameras, accessibility to such technology has become more widespread and affordable. Leveraging specific applications developed for these smartphones has provided numerous advantages in the medical field. One such software, Imitomeasure, has been designed to measure wound dimensions without direct contact with the wound site. Unlike traditional clinical measurements involving rulers or tape, Imitomeasure offers a non-contact approach, reducing the risk of infection transmission to the patient. The efficacy of Imitomeasure has been evaluated, revealing its effectiveness in wound dimension assessment. In this investigation, the dimensions of bedsores located over bilateral greater trochanteric regions and presacral region of a patient who was bed-ridden due to Parkinson disease were assessed using the Imitomeasure application on a smartphone.
