Markerless wound imaging: how photo measurement works
imaging
A closer look at how markerless AI wound imaging traces a border and measures area from a photo, and what to check before relying on it.
Traditional wound measurement uses a paper ruler or a sticker marker in the frame. Markerless imaging removes that step.
What it does
You take a photo of the wound. AI-powered wound imaging traces the wound border and calculates area, so each visit is measured the same way.
Why it matters
- Less variation. Ruler measurements differ between clinicians. A consistent method makes trends easier to trust.
- Faster visits. No marker to place, no manual math.
- Better record. The image and the measurement are stored together.
What to check
Good photos still matter: lighting, angle, and a clear view of the border. Review the traced border and adjust it if it looks wrong. The clinician stays responsible for the measurement.
Where it leads
Measurements feed the Healing Dashboard, where area over time shows whether a wound is healing, stalling, or worsening.
