Point-and-Capture Wound Imaging: Calibration-Free Measurement from a Phone
product
How WoundScribe's imaging agent captures wound length, width, depth, and tissue composition from a single phone photo — no ruler, no sticker, no separate app.
Wound measurement has historically required a disposable ruler, a calibration sticker, or a dedicated 3D camera. WoundScribe's imaging agent removes all three.
What point-and-capture actually does
- Auto-adjusts for lighting, angle, and border the moment the phone is aimed at the wound.
- Derives length, width, and surface area without a calibration marker in the frame.
- Segments tissue types — granulation, slough, eschar, epithelium — as structured fields, not free text.
- Attaches the image to the encounter, timestamped and audit-defensible.

Why calibration-free matters at the bedside
Stickers get lost. Rulers contaminate. Dedicated cameras don't travel to a nursing home hallway or a patient's living room. A phone does. For mobile providers, that's the difference between measuring every wound every visit and skipping the step.
Structured measurement on every encounter is also what powers longitudinal healing analytics — see the healing dashboard — and what makes imaging defensible in an audit.
Where it fits in the workflow
Capture happens before or during the AI scribe for wound care session, and measurements flow directly into the note in the AI-powered EMR for wound care. One workflow, one tap, one record.
