The aim of this study is to improve the field of patient care in medicine by utilizing information technology, as well as to help, assist nurses and doctors in their work and accelerate patients' recovery. In the case of long-term, mostly elderly patients, a condition known as chronic pressure ulcer, decubitus, or pressure sore may develop. Treating these decubitus ulcers takes time and patience. In order to find the appropriate treatment, it can be helpful to gather as much data as possible about the wound and categorize the severity type based on these collected data. This problem will be addressed and explored using the potential of artificial intelligence and three-dimensional digitisation.

“…3D models retain the surface geometry and color of the wound, and allow for manipulation, visualization, and enhanced clarity of wound features that is difficult to achieve in 2D images [15]. In many systems, 3D models are generated using structure from motion (SfM) photogrammetry [16,17,14,18] or 3D scanners [19]. SfM matches features between 2D images and combines the data to create a 3D model.…”

Reliable and accurate measurement methods are necessary for clinical assessment of wounds. Repeated measure of a wound indicates whether its healing is progressing or deteriorating, and if alternate treatment must be initiated. Many wound measurement techniques lack accuracy and reliability. Technology: We developed a software prototype that calculates 3-dimensional (3D) wound measurements from 3D scans. We conducted a study to compare the software prototype to physical and 2-dimensional (2D) image measurement techniques commonly used by clinicians. We compared inter-rater reliability between the techniques and measurements (i.e., length, width, depth, perimeter, surface area). Results: Inter-rater reliability was good or excellent for the physical, image, and software measurement techniques, however, there were significant differences in measurements between the techniques. For complex measurements (i.e., perimeter, surface area), the reliability of the software exceeded that of the physical and image techniques. Conclusions: Although inter-rater reliability was high for all measurement techniques, there was significant variability between the techniques. The software was overall most reliable, especially for calculation of complex measurements. Clinical Impact: Reducing the variability of wound measurements may improve patient outcomes, reduce the injury's prevalence, and mitigate the associated morbidity, mortality, and costs of these occurrences.
