Accuracy and Reproducibility of the Wound Shape Measuring and Monitoring System

Adv Skin Wound Care. 2015 Jul;28(7):317-23. doi: 10.1097/01.ASW.0000465900.04721.18.

Abstract

Nineteen known area shapes simulated wounds and were measured using 3 methods and orientations (n = 57). Equivalence and accuracy were tested for ruler length × width and the WoundVision length × width and tracing functions. The WoundVision Coefficient of Individual Agreement value and accuracy were closest to the actual area (Psi_R = 0.77; 95% confidence interval, 0.528-1.016).
