Point-and-Capture Wound Imaging on a Personal Phone: Inside the Feature
product
Calibration-free wound measurement from a single photo — how On Wheels turns any clinician's phone into a bedside imaging device without markers or rulers.
Mobile wound clinicians don't carry rulers, calibration stickers, or a second device. They carry a phone. AI-powered wound imaging inside On Wheels turns that phone into a measurement-grade capture tool — no markers, no fiducials, no depth sensor required.
How point-and-capture works at the bedside
One tap. One photo. The imaging agent handles the rest.
- Calibration-free measurement. Length, width, and area derived from a single frame — no ruler in the shot, no ArUco marker on the limb.
- Anatomy-aware framing. The agent recognizes the wound bed and periwound, so a shaky hallway photo still produces defensible dimensions.
- Tissue composition breakdown. Granulation, slough, and eschar percentages surfaced automatically for the note.
- Offline capture, deferred processing. Shoot in a basement apartment with no bars; measurements finalize when the phone reconnects.
Why it matters on the road
Traditional imaging platforms assume a clinic setting: dedicated tablet, controlled lighting, marker placement, Wi-Fi. On the road, each of those assumptions costs minutes per visit and pushes accurate measurement out of reach. Point-and-capture collapses the workflow into a single gesture that fits between glove changes.
