Healthy.io’s technology uses a smartphone app and two calibration stickers placed around a wound to track dimensions, enabling nurses to scan the wound and get a measurement quickly and effectively. This technology builds a 3D image, enabling more comprehensive documentation. The app measures wounds and captures standardized visual records over time, eliminating human error and discrepancies that are common in today’s methods due to subjective analysis and inaccurate measurement.
