A new technological capability enables clinicians to gauge wound depth and severity using smartphone cameras, according to an announcement today from Swift Medical. The innovation could help to better manage wound outcomes.
The system, called AutoDepth, will be part of the PointClickCare Skin and Wound application, which is powered by Swift’s technology. In many cases, depth can be a key indicator as to whether a wound is healing properly. The system’s algorithms process dynamic changes in depth over time, and it also uses machine learning to improve its accuracy.
Carlo Perez, CEO of Swift Medical, equates the sensory techniques to those that enable autonomous driving.
