Inside the iPhone Capture Workflow: Pocket-Sized Wound Charting That Drafts Itself
product
A deep dive into the iPhone wound visit workflow — one-handed capture, auto-measurement, and a SOAP note that writes itself while you're still at the bedside.
The iPhone isn't a stripped-down companion app in WoundScribe — it's the primary bedside tool. Here's exactly what happens from the moment you unlock your phone to the moment the visit is signed.
The one-handed capture loop
Unlock. Tap the patient. Point the camera at the wound. Tap once. That's the entire capture step. The AI-powered wound imaging agent handles framing cues, auto-focus, and depth calibration without a physical ruler in the frame.
Measurements before you lower the phone
Length, width, depth, and surface area appear within a second of the shutter. If the frame was off, you re-shoot in place — no reopening the chart.
Dictation that becomes a SOAP note
Tap the mic and talk the way you'd talk to a resident. The scribe structures your words into Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan sections and pulls the measurements into the Objective block automatically.
Trend context in your palm
Swipe to see prior images and the healing curve. If the wound has stalled, the trajectory flag is visible before you finish the plan — no digging through old visits.
Sign without switching devices
Review, edit any field with the keyboard, and sign on-device. The signed note is immediately available on iPad and web for billing review.
Why pocket beats cart
- No wheeling a laptop into a cramped room.
- No ruler, no measuring tape, no sterility compromise.
- No end-of-day documentation backlog — the note exists before you leave the bedside.
Pair the iPhone workflow with the same record on iPad and browser so no step has to repeat.
