Free Wound Care App for iPhone: FAQ for Clinicians
faq
Answers to the questions clinicians ask before downloading a wound care app — cost, HIPAA, EMR integration, offline use, and what the AI actually does.
Thinking about downloading a wound care app but want the fine print first? Here are the questions we hear most from podiatrists, WOCNs, and mobile wound providers.
Is the WoundScribe app really free to download?
Yes. The app is free on the App Store. The AI-powered EMR for wound care is included at no cost for individual clinicians. See the free wound care EMR FAQ for billing specifics.
Do I need any extra hardware — stickers, rulers, dongles?
No. Point-n-Capture uses the phone camera alone. No fiducial markers, no attached rulers, no Bluetooth scanners.
Is it HIPAA compliant?
Yes. Patient data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and the ambient scribe does not store raw audio after the note is generated.
What happens if I lose signal in a nursing home?
You can capture images and record visits offline. The app syncs and generates notes when connectivity returns.
Can I export notes to my existing EMR?
Yes — notes export as PDF or structured text for upload into most EMRs. Direct integrations are available for health systems.
Does the AI diagnose or just document?
It documents. The AI scribe for wound care drafts the SOAP note, measurements, and suggested codes. The clinician reviews and signs.
Who owns the data?
You do. Your patient records are yours to export or delete at any time.
