Document wounds and healing with photos

Care services document wounds and the healing process with photos

Needs setupStrictly regulatedSupporting specialist findingsNursing & care, Hospitals & medical practices

Fits: Health & care

Wound photos taken to a fixed standard make progress visible to care staff, the GP and the wound specialist, even if someone different comes to change the dressing every day. Some apps also measure the wound area. If software assesses the healing process, it is as a rule a medical device and needs CE marking for exactly that purpose.

Is this for you?

  • Your home care service or facility regularly treats chronic wounds such as pressure ulcers, leg ulcers or diabetic foot syndrome.
  • Several carers take turns with one person, and GPs or wound specialists ask about progress.
  • You have work phones or tablets and digital care records, or are introducing them right now.
First step today

Without patient photos: use the template below to have a one-page photo standard drafted for your wound documentation and try it out as a team on an object, such as a stain on a pillowcase photographed by three colleagues. Are the photos comparable?

How to go about it

  1. Clarify whether you only document or have things assessed
  2. Choose a suitable app according to its purpose
  3. Build photos into dressing changes and care records
  4. Cross-check measurements on your own wounds
  5. Train care staff
  6. Record progress and discrepancies
