Summary

The study will explore whether a 3D camera data can provide a more accurate baseline measurement (compared to 2D images with manual measurement) to support better clinical decision making in referrals to tissue viability.

Detailed description

Chronic and non-healing wounds are a significant problem to manage in community and represent a significant workload in community nursing. The current management for non-healing wounds includes referral to the tissue viability service, using a 2 D photographic image with assessment information. This study will pilot the use of a 3 D camera and associated software that introduces measurement and monitoring of wounds as a specific intervention. The introduction of 3 D measurement and monitoring of wounds will be compared with usual care. With a target recruitment of 30 patients via tissue viability, the pilot will report on the feasibility of using this outcome measure and the effectiveness of monitoring on wound closure or improvement.
