Point-and-capture wound imaging: what happens between photo and measurement
imaging
A closer look at bedside point-and-capture imaging and how a single photo becomes measurements in the chart.
Point-and-capture imaging replaces the paper ruler with a photo. Here is what the feature does and where clinician judgment still matters.
What it is
You point a device at the wound and capture an image. AI wound imaging then estimates the wound's dimensions and sends them to the note.
Why it matters at the bedside
- Measurements are taken once, not typed twice
- The photo becomes part of the record
- Changes between visits are easier to compare
What to check
AI output is an estimate. Review the wound outline, confirm it matches what you see, and adjust if needed. Good lighting and a clear view of the wound edge help.
How it connects to the rest of the visit
The measurement feeds the note, and the healing dashboard can show change over time. For the full walkthrough, read how point-and-capture works at the bedside.
