Further Information

This purpose of the Pressure Wound Analyzer App is to help a wound care provider better estimate the different tissues in a wound.

The details on staging a pressure wound may be found on the NPUAP website.

This Pressure Wound Analyzer App analyzes the image of the wound and converts it to this Red, Yellow, Black color scheme.
It also has another category called 'Other'.

Over time, an increase in the 'Other' category may indicate a change in the wound dimensions
and should increase if the wound is healing. Regular skin will usually be included in this category.

By taking regular images of the wound and recording the results presented by this Pressure Wound Analyzer App the user may be able to better classify the wound and record improvements quantitatively.
