Patients with chronic wounds
Conditions
Interventions
Group 1: Patients with at least one chronic wound (lasting longer than 12 weeks) get access to the WUNDERKINT app, an AI-supported mobile application for documenting and monitoring chronic wounds. Usi
if there are any abnormal findings, feedback will be provided within 72 hours.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Feasibility of app-based observational study, measured by regular use of the mobile application (“compliance”) over a period of 24 weeks. Regular use is defined as at least one application (uploading a wound image or entering progress parameters) per week over the entire observation period. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| a. Safety and feasibility of app-based care (proportion of wound images evaluated, AE/SAE, video visits, uMARS feedback); b. Healing rate of chronic wounds (change in wound area manually and AI-based, proportion of completely healed wounds after 24 weeks); c. Change in quality of life and mental health (DLQI, WHO-5, HADS-A/D, PBI); d. Doctor-patient interaction and perceived benefit (PBI, uMARS); e. Technical feasibility and accuracy of AI segmentation (comparison of AI vs. manual measurement, technical success rate); f. Automated detection of complications (infection, increase in area). | — |
