Resumen

GUTIERREZ, Evelyn et al. Prevention and promotion of wound health through the ambulatory use of portable thermography. Pilot study. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2023, vol.49, n.4, pp.341-346.  Epub 05-Feb-2024. ISSN 1989-2055.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0376-78922023000400005.

Background and objective.

Chronic wounds require regular monitoring for evaluation and prevention of complications. Such assessment remains subjective, prone to error, and it is often a time-consuming and costly process for patients and public health.

We propose to use three-dimensional thermographic models that can complement wound assessment.

Methods.

A pilot study in 6 participants where three-dimensional thermographic models were created from images obtained with low-cost portable devices.

Results.

The results show patterns of temperature differences that seem to be related to the behavior of the wound area.

Conclusions.

We observe its usefulness in providing a low-cost visualization tool and objective quantitative and qualitative indicators of the evolution of wounds, as well as the possibility of monitoring in remote areas where there is a lack of specialists, since by providing metrics, it would help in their monitoring and evaluation.

Level of evidence
