Abstract
Dimensions of wounds can be measured using several methods such as a photograph, a comparison, a ruler, or a graph. Current generation smartphones have high quality in-built cameras, and they are easily accessible than before and have become affordable. Making use of certain applications built for these smartphones have helped achieve various benefits in medical field. A software called Imitomeasure has been developed for the purpose of measuring wound dimensions without touching the wound. This app has the advantage over clinical measurement using rule or tape, in that, it is a non-contact method, hence less chances of spreading infection to that patient. The effectiveness of Imitomeasure has been assessed, and it has been found to be a very effective application in measuring wound dimensions. In this study, the size of wounds over gluteal region has been measured using Imitomeasure application in a smartphone.
