Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The target parameters are the non-contact perfusion and thermography measurements at the time of the conclusion visit. Measured with: Infrared thermography: target parameters: 1. Spatially resolved measurement of the temperature in the wound region. 2. Shape and size of the wound. Near-infrared (PPGI): Target parameters: 1. Quantification of perfusion in the wound region. Canon camera: target parameters: 1.Shape, size and color of the wound. Hyperspectral camera: target parameters: 2. Quantification of wound region and environment perfusion by calculation of tissue oxygenation, near-infrared perfusion index, tissue hemoglobin index and tissue-water index of human tissue
