Android application wound assessment System for Patients with Diabetes

Abstract

Nowadays many doctors and nurses assess the wound just by examining the size of wound and clinical status, while the patient themselves can assess their wounds. It allows a patient to take care of themselves and perform their active role in taking care on their own.it allows a patient to take more quantitative effect and cost examination and wound care potential to handle the wound effectively.it helps in saving cost and travelling expenses. As the evolution of smartphone is highly developing .it possess a high resolution camera that helps in assessing and analysing wounds is an attractive option.in this paper ,we propose an idea of implementing image analysis system on android phone. the wound is captured on smartphone camera with the help of image capture box. Which will perform segmentation of wound with accelerated mean shift algorithm. Based on the skin color the outline of the foot is determined. the boundary of wound is found using simple connected region detection method. next the status of healing is assessed based on red–yellow–black color evaluation model based on the time record of patient the healing status is analyzed .
