Healing Trajectory: Reading Wound Trends Beyond a Single Measurement
woundcare
How Healing Trajectory turns repeated wound measurements into a clear view of whether a wound is healing, stalling, or worsening.
A single wound measurement shows size on one day. A trend shows direction. Healing Trajectory is built around that difference.
Why trends beat snapshots
In the study we cited, 58% of wounds that healed did so by week twelve, compared with 9% for the rest. Direction over time is what separates wounds that need a change in plan from those on track.
What the report shows
- Healing. Area is shrinking at an expected pace.
- Stalling. Progress has flattened over recent visits.
- Worsening. Area is growing or reversing earlier gains.
Where the data comes from
Every measurement captured during a visit feeds the graph. Because measurements come from guided imaging, the points are more comparable from visit to visit.
How clinicians can use it
- Review the graph before the visit to see where the wound stands.
- Flag stalled wounds for a treatment review.
- Share the trend with the care team or patient to explain progress. See patient engagement and education.
What it does not do
The trend supports clinical judgment and does not replace it. It does not predict outcomes or guarantee healing.
