About this trial
This study aims to develop a low-cost, marker-free intelligent wound assessment system that can analyze wound photos taken with a standard smartphone. By comparing wound images over time, the system will generate a quantifiable Wound Progression Index (WPI) to provide objective feedback on whether a wound is improving, stable, or worsening. The long-term goal is to support early detection of wound deterioration and improve wound care in both clinical and home settings.
