A Clinically Affordable Non-Contact Wound Measurement Device

In this paper we present a hand-held, clinically affordable, non-contact wound measurement device. The device was designed with ease of use in mind and to be capable of processing a single wound in under 1 minute. The current prototype is built on a Sony-Ericsson P900 phone and interfaces via Bluetooth with a laptop where the majority of data processing is done. The proposed final version of the device is a single-unit hand-held device where all of the processing takes place.
