How to Track
Your Wound

Record trends in wound recovery with our privacy-first tracking system.

What to Track

  • Size: Indicates healing progress or complications like reopening.
  • Pain: Persistent pain may mean inflammation or infection.
  • Itch: A sign of regeneration, but intense itch can mean dryness.
  • Moisture: Balance is key; too dry or too wet can delay healing.
  • Pus: A little may be normal; excess can indicate infection.
  • Scab formation: Tracks progression through healing stages.
  • Smell: Foul odor = potential infection; note sudden changes.
  • Swelling: Mild is normal early, persistent swelling signals issues.

Using a QR Code for Size Accuracy

You can improve wound measurement accuracy by placing a known-sized QR code in the same photo. The app detects the QR pattern and uses it for scale.

Steps:

  1. Use a printed or sticker QR code with a known width (e.g., 2 cm).
    • Use the QR code below to calibrate colors under different lighting conditions.
  2. Measure the QR code using a ruler before use.
  3. Place the QR code flat and level on the same plane as the wound.
  4. Make sure both wound and QR code are visible in your photo.
  5. Use the app camera or upload a photo—tracking begins automatically!
