Problems solved by technology

Additionally, bacteria are invisible to the naked eye, resulting in suboptimal wound sampling and inability to properly track changes in bacterial growth at the wound site
This may hinder healing and timely selection of optimal antimicrobial therapy

Abstract

Given a specific imaging device and systems further described herein, wound characteristics of a wound fluoresce with a unique spectral signature when subjected to excitation light with a known wavelength or range of wavelengths. Images captured therefrom are subject to analyses of pixels thereof, with a plurality of training images having known wound sizes and characteristics marked-up thereon being used to generate training data, which is subsequently used to identify wound characteristics from test images in real time. Wound sizes, boundaries, bacterial presence, and other characteristics may be quantified and graphically represented as an overlay on the original wound image along with documentation related to the wound.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 625,611, filed February 2, 2018, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0002] A device and method for fluorescence-based imaging and monitoring is disclosed. In particular, the device and method may be adapted for both human and animal applications, such as monitoring biochemical and / or biotic and abiotic substances in wound assessment and wound care management. Background technique [0003] Wound care is a major clinical challenge. Healing and chronic non-healing wounds are associated with a number of biological changes including inflammation, necrosis, exudate production, hemorrhage, proliferation, connective tissue remodeling, and often the main problem, bacterial presence, growth, and infection . A fraction of wound infections are clinically insignificant and lead to increased personal, emotional, and financial burdens associated ...
